Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
It’s A New Day
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done. C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) God's Word puts it this way: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 GNV [Adapted] And, "Through the Lord's...
Silence Is Golden
One of the fruits of silence is the freedom to let God be our justifier. We don’t need to straighten everyone out.
Programs Or People?
We want more effective programs; God wants more effective people. @RickWarren How to be a more effective person? "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. "...
Righteous Anger
I never work better than when I am inspired by anger. When I am angry I can write, pray, and preach well; for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and the mundane vexations and temptations depart. Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Grasp
The more we grasp all that God is, the more we face all that we are not. The Apostle Paul prays this reality: "May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to grasp, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep,...
His Word
The Word of God takes our hands and lays them upon the breast of Christ and lets us feel how His heart beats toward us, even now as He sits at the right hand of God.
Living Under The Direction Of The Holy Spirit
Want to hear from the Holy Spirit? To make God-inspired, Biblical choices? To have the courage, comfort and perseverance to finish strong? Read your Bible. Every day. Study it. Learn to love it. Live by it. Listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit through the words...
A Fervent Prayer For The Morning
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has...
On Salvation
You are not God. God is God (Job 1-42). It takes less than 30 seconds to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. So, if you believe, as we do, in the pre-tribulation Rapture, the clock is ticking.
God’s Love and Faithfulness; A Song For The Sabbath Day
Here the Psalmist praises God for being able to give thanks to Him (v. 1). He recognizes that doing so (like worship in general) is not a right but a privilege, granted not on the basis of the psalmist’s personal merit, but of God’s lovingkindness (Note 1) and...
Unoffered Prayer
The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer. F. B. Meyer (1847-1929)
Identified With Christ
"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and honored cornerstone, and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame." Isaiah 38:13 and Peter 2:6 HCSB The enemy has many agents in this world who chastise us, challenge our thinking, and charge us with shameful...
Faith
To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. It was by their faith that people of ancient times won God's approval. Hebrews 11:1 GNT Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6...
Providential Order; Equanimity /2
The attitude of a Christian toward the providential order in which he is placed is to recognize that God is behind it for purposes of His own. Adapted, Biblical Ethics, Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
The Divine Commandment of Life; Equanimity /1
…be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48 The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing, but in God-likeness. If the Holy Spirit has transformed you within, you will exhibit divine characteristics in your life, not just good...
Circumstances
Unbelief puts our circumstance between us and God. Faith puts God between us and our circumstances. Adapted, F. B. Meyer (1847-1929)
Job: But God
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21 ESV Don’t let circumstances determine how you see God. Conform your circumstances to God, not God to your circumstances....
Questions Die Away
“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away." C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
