Often I find myself reflecting on those verses that the Holy Spirit has made an integral part of me. And if you have been following my writing for any length of time you are well aware that He has me laser focused on Rom 8:29. And as I was thinking about our being conformed into His… Read more

When we are tempted in our circumstances we are faced with a choice. We can side with the world and the flesh or we can side with Jesus. I have always gotten that and clearly understand in every temptation the distinction between the choices. But I read something by Oswald Chambers one morning that really put… Read more

I have always understood this verse, as have many others, as a promise: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. NKJV But the other day I, as is usually the case, read this verse in the KJV: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Other versions like… Read more

It seems, at least in my experience, that when the Lord is working on some part of your life that it shows up everywhere you look… and this moment in time is no exception. The Holy Spirit has taken me back once again to the Book of Revelation with a much deeper look at the bride… Read more

I read a short piece a while back by my favorite daily encourager, Oswald Chambers, He addressed our challenge with self-interest and how living by faith often sets the issue of waiving our rights center stage. Let me share the challenge that the Holy Spirit set in front of me after I digested his thoughts.… Read more

Once again, it never ceases to totally amaze me that I can read something in the Bible and all of a sudden an entirely different thought or understanding hits me. And perhaps that is why I love reading and studying the Word so much… there is always something new with the turn of a page.… Read more

At one time or another we all have been or are dedicated to something, either positive or negative. Saul of Tarsus was dedicated to the Law, the feasts, and sacrifices that God laid out in His Word to Israel.

Isa 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. I wonder what Abram thought when God commanded him… Gen 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I… Read more

I was meditating on Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountain (Matt 7) and the word “vision” in verse 9. It got me to thinking once again about how God gives us His vision and what we “do” with it as opposed what we “are to do” with it. If you read the account of Jesus’ transfiguration you… Read more
