Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Come Let Us Commune With Our Lord
And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24 NKJV It is one of the holiest moments any of us spend in the average week, month, or year - when we come to the...
Obedience Brings The Breakthrough
We are fixated on victory. On winning against this or that sin. God is fixated on obedience.
Where The Battle Rages
If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle...
God, What Is My Calling?
God will not (necessarily) tell you do this or do that, He has, however, given you gifts and passions, and He will ask you for an account of them. Matthew 5: 14, 16 All of life, including work, is an act of worship to God. Jesus was first a carpenter. Christian work...
Shabbat Shalom
Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Exodus 20:8 NRSV Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it Holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your...
Providence Is God Hooking Things Up
"... and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Selah and Amen Matthew 28:20.
The Foot Of The Cross
The ground is level at the foot of the cross. Galatians 3:26-29
The Arc Of God’s Providence
What a great and wonderful story is the history of God, a history that is still being written and in which I am a player. The world around us, the anointed Word of the Bible, the Holy Spirit, all testify to his magnificence and love. They rode camels and were only...
On Making God Smile
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper. Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you....
The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked One
There will come a day when: 1. Doctors don't have the answer. 2. Bankers don't have the answer. 3. Friends don't have the answer. 4. Governments don't have the answer. 5. And you sure enough don't have the answer. Here is God's answer: "Be strong in the Lord and in...
On The Occasion Of The 401st US Thanksgiving (Unless You Are From St Augustine)
O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation! Let us come into His presence with THANKSGIVING; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand...
On The Doctrine Of Truth (The Imitation Of Christ, Chapter 3)
This chapter of The Imitation Of Christ is primarily concerned with exposing the intrinsic value of Truth along with it's source, The Word. In so doing, it coincidentally provides the answer to "What is the question?" "Happy is the one to whom truth comes, not in...
The Reality Of Sin, Faith, and Repentance, Or The Transaction That Gives Everlasting Life
God’s Plan is a transactional one. Throughout the whole of the Bible it is faith and repentance in exchange for salvation. Coming to God in faith, acknowledging my sinfulness, and receiving from Jesus the gift of forgiveness. The reality of this is born in an...
On Christian Surrender and Transformation
Holiness consists of three things—separation from sin, dedication to God, [and] transformation into Christ’s image. James H. Aughey True transformation does not happen from the outside in, but rather from the inside out. We do not get THE transformation through...
The Whole / Full Armor (Armour) of God
The Word: 10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and...
Prayer and Piety
A to-do plan for Christian daily living: 1. Look ahead and see what you have to do. 2. Go to the Lord in prayer and say, “Lord, I do not have what it takes to do this; I need divine help.” 3. Rely on the Lord to answer the prayer you have offered, and proceed...
Vocation And Eternity
God has also planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds, a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMPC, Paraphrased) We have two vocations in life, our labor by which we...
You Are Only At 40%; Get Out Of The Saddle
For a cyclist "get out of the saddle" has special meaning. It says, stand up on the pedals and put in that extra effort to sprint up this climb. As a result of a series of bad personal decisions, the last year has seen my physical wellbeing go downhill. The first bad...
