David’s prayer in Psalm 143 is our focus, following God’s timeline rather than the world’s. In the Creativity for Writers segment, we look at three techniques to generate new ideas from the blankness.

As we age, we think the three most common bedtime prayers for children are only for the little people. They seem too plain for our complex lives. Our mistake is when we try to make our prayers more when simple is better. In looking at the simple, we often see things we have forgotten because […]

MORE: Easter / Bright Thursday with Creativity Refresh 12 / 7:12 April 9, 2026
While the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed and even little Glory Be offer the basic tenets of Christian faith, we can still add more to intensify our daily walk with Christ. More can mean a greater understanding of the church year, such as knowing Holy Week and Bright Week. More can also mean additional […]

MORE: Easter / Bright WED, Emmaus, & Creativity Refresh 11 / 7:11 April 8, 2026
He is Risen! That’s the word the women gave, based on the evidence of the tomb and the word of the bright angel who reassured them. Yet the disciples could not bring themselves to believe. They wanted to, desperately, but their earthly realism prevented complete belief. Our focus today is on the event three days […]

MORE: Easter / Bright Tuesday with Creativity Refresh for Writers 10 / 7:10 April 7, 2026
In this day of contemporary music and blended worship services, with guitars and drums accompanying the pianos and organs, the bland traditional services of my childhood now seem strange. God calls upon us to make a joyful noise in praise to Him. Music creates a harmonious celebration. Psalm 150 even lists the instruments for accompaniment. […]

MORE: Easter / Bright Monday with Creativity Refresh 9 / 7:09 April 6, 2026
Easter began with Sunrise—the tomb open and empty, the faithful women first to see, first to receive the good news, first to spread the good news. This week should be the most celebrated time in the church, yet it is often more neglected than any other time of the church. Fasting and grief are over; […]

MORE: Easter / Easter Day with Creativity Refresh 8 / 7:08 April 5, 2026
On Easter, we greet each other with “He is risen.” The traditional response is “He is risen indeed.” Easter is our great hope and assurance, the fulfillment of the promise of John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but […]

MORE: Easter / Black Saturday with Creativity Refresh 7 for Writers / 7:07 April 4, 2026
What is the key to Holy Saturday? The church is bare, the altar blackened, all hope entombed with Christ. Black Saturday is the vigil before Easter’s Resurrection. After the Crucifixion, the black veil is removed from the altar cross, for Christ is brought down from the 300-pound cross that the Sanhedrin and the Romans intended […]

MORE: Easter / Good Friday / Creativity Refresh 6 for Writers / 7:06 April 3, 2026
Why is Good Friday “Good”? That is the official title of this meditation, but the focus is something else. First, the answer to the question is basically because we received the best gift in the world, the gift of redeeming salvation from Christ Jesus. Our focus is an aspect of that question / answer, wrapped […]
