Westview Lenton Email Devotions

Friday, February 26th, 2010

During Lent you will receive an email devotion written by a Westview attendee.  Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays until Easter, a different Westview person will share with us a meaningful scripture and a brief commentary on the passage.  I hope this spurs us on in our own bible reading and prayer life.

There is Power

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

An old hymn that we sang in church when I was just a little fella went something like this, “There is power, power, wonderworking power, in the blood of the Lamb”. There is power, and that power is tied to the blood of the lamb. Sounds mysterious and messy doesn’t it? But the blood is [...]

Big Timber Meats

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I was walking Chase, my yellow Labrador, down the street in Big Timber, Montana, when suddenly he crouched low to the ground, his hair stood on end and he desperately pulled on the leash to get away. We were on vacation traveling out west and stopped in this small mountain town to take a break [...]

Life Management

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

What is it that we want for our children? We want them to move out and take responsibility for their own lives…right? I want my boys to manage their own checking accounts, do their own laundry, set their own alarm clocks and call their mother on Mothers Day. Self-management is foundational to success in life. [...]

Wisdom and Discipline

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

At the beginning of the biblical book of Proverbs, Solomon states his purpose by saying that his proverbs are…“for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair.” Proverbs 1:2-3
I am thinking that wisdom and discipline are related but different. [...]

Psalm 27

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Thoughts on Psalm 27
Lately, Psalm 27 has been very helpful to me as I wade through life’s muck. Here’s some thoughts, shared over the next few blog entries. David, the author, was apparently facing severe challenges, “evil men, enemies, war, armies”, people wanting to attack and kill him.
What is the one thing [...]

The Heart of Royalty, part 6

Friday, June 5th, 2009

He looked intensely into Simon’s eyes. Simon wanted to answer correctly, wanted to please the young Prince at that moment more than anything else in life. But he wasn’t sure what the answer was; the heart of royalty? “I’m not sure.” Said Simon.
David smiled. “You are not far from being sure, [...]

The Heart of Royalty, part 5

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

And as they talked, sometimes trying to include Simon, and sometimes talking between themselves, Simon came to another startling realization. King George had fixed the widow’s step! And it sounded like he did these things regularly! His work clothes, his dirty hands, the sweat on his brow were a normal part of [...]
