Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Love, Demonstrated
Love talked about is easily ignored. Love demonstrated is irresistible.
Confessed Sin
If we say that we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he can be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. And it is perfectly proper for God to do this for us because...
A Prayer For The Morning
God loves it when we pray His Words back to Him. Let's start with these words from King David, about which C. S. Lewis said: "I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world." "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the...
02 22 22
The readers of this blog who know us will appreciate the significance of the number 22. So today, February 22, 2022, is indeed special in our house. Consider these "22" verses. "Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought...
On Responsibility
"Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more." Luke 13:48b HCSB Winston Churchill once said "The price of greatness is responsibility." No doubt Churchill was correct. But...
The Sabbath Is A Gift From God
God has much to say about the Sabbath. He included it in His top ten list. Here He speaks through His prophet Isaiah: "Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day....
Pride Or Humility?
We have all seen the bumper sticker: “He who dies with the most toys wins.” It's a cynical statement about our materialistic culture. But there’s another layer of insight there concerning competition. Down to one’s dying day, life is all about comparison and...
Dancing In The Rain
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain. @nickygumbel
The Word Of God
God will never speak to us and tell us to do something that’s contrary to His Word. But, unless we know Scripture, we won’t be able to discern whether or not what we hear is consistent with His Word. We know the will of God when we read and pray the Word of God....
What Is The Frequency Kenneth?
There is a now infamous 1986 mugging in New York's Central Park, in which, as they beat the victim whose name was Dan, the assailants reportedly kept asking "What is the frequency Kenneth?" Now, it doesn’t matter whether this was a case of imagination, mistaken...
Identified With Christ, Bondservant Version
Are you ready to be poured out as an offering? Bind yourself to the horns of the altar and commit to the purification (separation) process. God will do the rest. Oh, and don't complain.
Valentine’s Day Bonus
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her. Ephesians 5:25 NKJV Much is made of this verse, and the preceding one (wives submit…), as making of wives second class citizens. Entire movements have been built on this...
Happy Valentine’s Day
Let us not get so caught up in the commercialism of Valentine's Day that we forget the truth about love, eloquently written by Apostle Paul two thousand years ago. "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude,...
God Is Good All The Time
You are good, and everything You do is good. Teach me Your ways. Instruction from your lips is better for me than than millions in silver and gold. Psalm 119:68, 72 [Paraphrased]
Love Lived Out
For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”...
Right Place, Right Time
God puts us where we need to be, when we need to be there, to accomplish His purposes. He does it for our good and His glory. Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was...
The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Lack Nothing
“I am the Gate. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:9 ESV In biblical times, sheep and goats were a primary source of wealth, food, and trade. The owner of a small flock counted his sheep, searched for any that...
Listen Up
When you talk you repeat what you already know, but if you listen you often learn something new.
