There they were, the men closest to Jesus, crossing the Sea of Galilee. Jesus had told them as it grew dark to get into their ship and cross over… Mark 6:45-47 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent… Read more

Have you ever been punished as a kid by being sent into your room without the light on? I have on occasion and it wasn’t a pleasant experience to say the least. They did, however, make an indelible impression on my mind of what happens in those minutes/hours. I found myself focusing on a few… Read more

I struggled in the past to get my mind and my soul around God’s command for me to begin taking life one day at a time because I didn’t get the connection to another part of His equation for my life. It has never been too hard for me to discern God’s will for my… Read more

Every time I sit down to meditate on the Word of God the Holy Spirit always seems to tie it back to Rom 8:29. But sometimes He links my study back to what has become my most important life verse. It is always found in connection with my walk through this life beside Jesus. And… Read more

I have written and taught many times about the encounter that Peter and the other disciples had with Jesus after fishing all day and catching nothing. And one of the interesting parts of the meeting is when Jesus confronted Peter with those 3 famous questions… Peter, do you love me. The first two times Jesus uses the… Read more

I was reading the account of the resurrection of Lazarus in John when I came to that familiar verse where John describes Jesus approaching the tome. I have always read these verses as a perfect example of Jesus’ humanity. John 11:33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping,… Read more

2 Cor 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved… As Paul penned a key part of his second letter to the Corinthians (the 7th chapter) he extended a call to sanctification with a reminder of the promises we have been given. They are like checks drawn on a bank (the First Bank of Heaven) that are made… Read more

There come those times to all of us when we find ourselves facing a crisis in our life and we don’t know what to do. And it always seems that at that moment the crisis seems to grow larger and the clouds get darker. I was reflecting on that this morning and the Lord reminded… Read more

When I left for Viet Nam the first time my mother gave me two things. The little New Testament Bible the Gideons gave me at school on November 24, 1959… yes, they came into the classroom and gave each of us one! And the other was a small medallion she had received from Oral Roberts. I carried… Read more

I got to thinking the other morning as I was studying Isaiah about the desperate situation Hezekiah found himself in and the direction he chose to follow. Look at these two verses and let’s see if there isn’t something in there for the bride of Christ. There is a lot here and I can only… Read more
