Pierced
Today, piercing is as common as a “cold.” It used to be that women only pierced their ears, but now it’s a different story. And it seems to me that something very important has been lost in the message that piercing delivers. Zech 12:10(a) … and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.… Read more

DIE!
The challenge that faced Habakkuk concerning what he saw in the world around him is eerily reminiscent for the bride of Christ today. There are so many similarities I think it takes a lot of work to miss the warning God has set before us. Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set… Read more

Sacrifice… Do We Honor It?
As Americans, the majority of us honor those who have given their lives to ensure that we continue to enjoy the freedom we have been given. But deeper than that, those who have fought side-by-side have a much deeper appreciation of sacrifice. For them it is personal. The life that was given was to save… Read more

Charitoo
Charitoo – it’s a simple word. In fact its so rarely used in the Bible that it only turns up in two places. If you marry it with its Hebrew counterpart – chamad – as used in Dan 10:19 you get the full impact. Sometimes when I’m reading the Bible I find myself skimming over “words” and “thoughts”… Read more

What’s In Between?
How familiar we all are with these two simple but incredible Greek letters. They represent the totality of everything and all that we believe and have faith in. But if we will just pause long enough to think about it, there is a critical question in the middle that needs to be answered… What’s In… Read more

What’s In The Backyard?
Jer 18:1-2 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. KJV We’re all very familiar with this Word from the Lord to Jeremiah. I’ll bet we have all heard may sermons concerning the clay on the… Read more

Does God Create Evil?
I have been studying the Book of Isaiah for the past few weeks and have been once again reminded of the far reaching arms of prophecy. But right in the midst of all of that I was once again hit with a verse that has always caused me to pause. Isa 45:7 I form the light,… Read more

Quirk, Habit or Something Else?
Monday’s for me always seem to be a challenge. I have my week pretty well planned out but even my quiet time with the Lord in the early hours seems to be a struggle. I guess, over the years I’ve just learned to live with it, but this morning I was reminded of something; something… Read more
