Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
On Wisdom
For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. “I, Wisdom, will make the hours of your day more profitable and the years of your life more fruitful.” Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her,...
God And Cowards
The history of God's people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but rather of God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives. Erwin McManus
Fear Not
If you are anxious, this is surely true; you are not praying. Philippians 4:6,7 (Paraphrased) Fear and anxiety? Fear rises whenever you respond to a problem on your own, without first going to God and seeking His help and power. The Lord has given you the gift of free...
The Knowledge Of The Holy
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but also of the company of Christians that comprises...
Knowing God
Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his wisdom and knowledge and riches! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods! For who among us can know the mind of the Lord? Who knows enough to be his counselor and guide? Romans...
The Miracle of Obedience
Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say. Luke 5:5 If your common sense were enough to successfully follow God, there would be no reason for His Spirit to indwell you or His Word to inform you. But it’s not. Recognize that God’s...

Kingdom Economics

A Tale of Two Sinners
And Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.” 1 Samuel 15:28 ESV Nearly a thousand years before the birth of Christ, two kings ruled over the nation of Israel. The...
The Art Of Repentance

Eternal Life, The Revelation
Want to know why I have a sense of urgency? The greater the level of revelation the higher the accountability. Revealed Truth tells us that both the saved and the lost will partake of the Resurrection; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who...

“To lighten the ship of our life, the voice of the Lord invites us to throw the cargo of our sins into the sea. We may have to throw overboard the things we thought were the most precious in our existence." Catechism of the Spiritual Life, Cardinal R Sarah* *Born...
Small Steps / 2
Proving that even committed Marxists can recognize truth when they see it (pun intended), Helen Keller (1880-1968), blind from childhood, once said, "I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great...
Small Steps /1
The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”...
The Theology of Abiding
And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Matthew 8:26. ESV When we are afraid, the least we can do is pray to God. But our Lord has a right to expect that those who call on His name have an underlying confidence in Him. God expects His...
