He Remains Faithful
by Matt Caudle
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7. I have heard this verse a hundred different times as many of us have and in each time I read the verse or heard the verse preached, it was mentioned as a positive, an encouragement, to uplift. But this verse use to burden me and make me question... “Have I truly kept the faith?”
Oh God, I have been faithless at times.
Oh God, I have doubted You.
Oh God, I have questioned You.
Oh God, I do not understand why at times.
Oh God, why aren’t You answering me?
Oh God, where are You?
Thankfully, we serve a gracious and loving Father who stays true even through our doubts, our uncertainty, our faithlessness.
“If we are faithless, he remains faithful.” 2 Timothy 2:13
Oh God, forgive me.
Oh God, thank you.
Oh God, Your timing is perfect.
Oh God, You always knew.
Oh God, I wasn’t ready.
Oh God, You never left.
Like the story of the Prodigal Son, our great, merciful Father longs for us to come back if even for a moment our faith wavers and we question. God remains faithful. Glory be to God!

Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
February 23rd, 2026
The Law of Leviticus boils down to this, and Jesus’ explanation and interpretation of the new covenant also has it at its core: Love your neighbor as yourself. This command in the 19th chapter of Leviticus is cited in three of the four Gospels as Jesus reiterates to the Jews the most important commandment - for it sums up the Law. But what I find interesting is that Jesus doesn’t seem to be tellin...
Finding the Right Foundation for Your Life
February 16th, 2026
Foundations are important. My husband and I discovered this first-hand when we were looking for our first house. The real estate agent took us to a “bargain” fixer-upper property with foundation problems. When we stepped into the house, we quickly saw that the foundation problems were indeed serious. Many of the floors were visibly slanted. Some of the doors were difficult to open. And when I plac...
Sojourners in the Flesh
February 9th, 2026
“This world is not my home, I’m just ‘a passing through.” These words open a lesser known hymn of the early 1900’s, and it seems like the sons of Jacob, and Jacob himself, echo this refrain. As the 70 persons of Jacob’s family come into Egypt, they do so as sojourners. When Pharaoh asks them what their job is, they reply, as instructed by Joseph, “Shepherds.” They go on to say, “We’ve come to sojo...
