Dear friends, Some time ago, while I was driving south on 101 in Mill Valley, I saw a road sign that read, ‘Rough Road Ahead’! I thought, man, what an appropriate sign for life and sometimes what we experience. Some 918 people may have had warning signs going off inside, but perished because of one…
Dear friends, How important is touch? We all know that it is one of our most important senses! I am not a developmental psychologist but I vividly remember the countless touches I received from dad and mom growing up! Perhaps I doubted at times my parents love but as I look back nothing stands out…
Dear brothers and sisters, As I am sitting next to my window, I can’t believe how warm and nice today is. What a blessing it is to enjoy this kind of weather we have. But for the Samaritan woman that Jesus met at the well probably wasn’t too fond of the Mediterranean heat at high…
Dear friends, “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus!” Thanksgiving isn’t a once-a-year celebration for anyone who calls themselves a disciple of the Lord Jesus.

Dear Church family, This morning I reminded everyone that February 7th is the “First Tuesday” of the month and is a special day the elders and pastors of Valley Church set aside for fasting and prayer. We’re asking God to do a work of revival and renewal both IN us and THROUGH US. We invite…
Dearly beloved, “Surrender to Love” is a title of a book that I just picked up from my desk! It is written by David Benner and deals with, “Discovering the Heart of Christian Spirituality.” The book was a gift from someone who loves me! Professor Gary Oliver says: “The tragic reality is that most people…
Santa or Jesus? Well that would be a choice between history and fantasy! Many people choose fantasy over reality not only at Christmas but throughout the year! How do you picture Santa? Can you describe him in less than 20 words? How about describing God to someone in less than 20 words in 30 seconds? Suppose I asked you…
