The last page of Sports Illustrated is the first page I always turn to. Often there is "a human interest" story. The June 4th issue had one such story about a girl named Jaclyn. At the age of 9 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Now at the age of 17, she credits her survival to the Women's lacrose team at Northwestern University who became like big sisters to her during her treatments. Their affect on her was so profound that Jaclyn started her own foundation to connect elite sports teams with children suffering from brain tumors. And...Northwestern was so inspired by Jacyln's courage they went out and won 5 National Championships in a row, dedicating each season to…

Cindy Glubish leads worship at North Pointe, among other ministry roles.   She will be hosting a special night of worship at NP on June 3rd at 6PM.  Her words of hope are..."I had a dream last night that I was floating in the clouds. Each cloud was called something different: peace, love, hope, joy etc. When I found the hope cloud, I laid down and slept. So when asked what hope means to me, I’d have to say it’s just that, a good night’s sleep. No tossing and turning with anxiety or stress or fear - it’s being able to lay your head down each night without your thoughts in turmoil, or your heart beating a mile a minute,…

"Holding Onto Hope" records the reflections of Nancy Guthrie, a mother whose daughter, Hope, passed away from Zellweger Syndrome in June 1999. Hope lived for 199 days. Nancy gave birth to Gabriel in July 2001 and he too was diagnosed with Zellweger's and passed away 6 months later. I echo Joni Eareckson Tada's view of the book - "If you are stymied about God's goodness amidst life's heartaches, then this book is for you." Nancy's book records her experiences contextualized around the experiences of Job. She subtitled her book, "A pathway of suffering to the heart of God." She writes it to all who "feel their world is falling apart...hurt, and helpless and hopeless in the midst of loss." After…

Hope expects God to be good. It’s an attitude that says and believes, “Something good is going to happen today!” Psalm 27:13 - "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living." (NASB) Be a good finder - see God at work in your life, today.

The Kony 2012 revolution - viral in March; virtually invisible in April. It was a good idea that started so well. It had a 2 month run. What a difference after two millenniums with the Jesus revolution. From 120 followers in 33AD to 2.2 billion believers today. Its the difference between a good idea and God's idea. The Jesus revolution is not without its challenges, but when Jesus is kept the main thing, the revolution works. The first recorded prayer of the new Christians kept Jesus the main thing. They were facing persecution, imprisonment, beatings and death threats. But their request of God? Acts 4:24-31 - "...they raised their voices together in prayer to God. 'Lord, consider their threats and…
