Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Knock Knock
Why are there no "knock knock" jokes about America? Because freedom rings.
Compassion And Mercy
But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, graciousness and longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth. Adapted, Psalm 86:15 Compassion and mercy are at the core of God. They are not mood swings. They are attributes.
Exceedingly Abundantly More
Now all glory to God who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we would ever dare to ask, hope or dream for. May He be given glory forever and ever through endless ages because of His master plan of salvation for...
Hesed and Holiness
Because of the Lord’s hesed we do not perish, for His mercies never end. Lamentations 3:22, Adapted Hesed (also chesed) is the Grand Canyon of love. Hesed is the Hebrew word describing God's unconditional extravagant love (Note 1). The compulsion to give and to love...
The Repentant Sinner
And the thief said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied to him, “Truly I say unto you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43 There was once a man who lived for seventy years in the world, and lived in sin...
A Sinner’s Morning Prayer
O my Savior, help me. For I am slow to learn, prone to forget, weak to climb. I am in the foothills when I should be on the heights. I am pained by my graceless heart, my prayerless days, my poverty of love, my sloth in the heavenly race, my unclean conscience, my...
The Center Of It All
God raised Christ from death and set Him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe. Everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from His rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the...
My Rock
The Lord is righteous. He is my Rock. There is no shadow of evil in Him. Psalm 92:15, Adapted Life does not always work the way we expect. Job, a godly man, endured an enormous amount of suffering while remaining faithful to God. God allows circumstances to enter our...
God’s Faithfulness
We may not always feel God's presence. But His promises do not depend upon our feelings. They rest upon His integrity. Adapted, R.C. Sproul (1939 - 2017)
The Question
Would I say or do this before God?
The Sovereignty Of God
I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2 ESV What do you put your confidence in? What is the ultimate source of power that you think has the most control in and over your life? Maybe it’s your wealth. Or your family....
On Forgiveness
"Wow. What that person just said was so horrible. As you grow in your faith, you learn you must pray for that person right now. Just pray. Ask God to heal them, because hurt people, hurt people. It’s the truth. "I believe God can touch anybody's heart. I’m not allowed...
Knowledge And Wisdom
God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you...
The Sun Rises
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), The Weight Of Glory
But
But for the grace of God.
The Trial Of Job
Sometimes God allows tests of our loyalty in hard service and sharp temptations, so that through our faithfulness and bravery He may triumph over Satan. The Roman general Pompey boasted that a nod of his head would send his soldiers scrambling up the steepest rock on...
The Land Of Beginning Again
I wish that there were some wonderful place called The Land Of Beginning Again; where all our mistakes and all our heartaches and all of our poor selfish grief, could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, and never put on again. I wish we could come on it all...
Prayer | 14
