It goes without saying that we find ourselves coming up to many crossroads along our walk with God. Many of them involve choices that are easy to make, but it’s also certain that when God wants to make a point with us they present us with a challenge. That’s why the Holy Spirit gave James… 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

Last time (Looking Ahead) I passed along some thoughts about the shortest verse in the Bible… Jesus wept (John 11:35). That sort of got me to thinking about what his resurrection means for us today, and so I began to reflect on what happened to him after the fact. So, first let’s look at what occurred immediately… Read more

Sometimes in our efforts to “work” on behalf of God, we forget that the bottom line is not “our efforts.” It’s those efforts that always seem to put us in a place of calculating what will happen as a result of what we are attempting to do. Now, mind you, more often than not those… Read more

What Isaiah said under the power of the Holy Spirit carries a message for the bride of Christ; the saved and believing members of the body of His body, His church… Isa 45:22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. Oswald Chambers… Read more

There is a mixed message (one of many) between the Old Testament and the New with respect to “doing what is right.” But the root of the messages point in the same direction; the desired result is not achieved. Prov 30:12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed… Read more

Webster defines “whole” as free of defect or impairment or having all its proper parts or components; complete/unmodified. Kinda sounds like “perfect” to me. I wonder if that’s what happened at the the pool; Bethesda? If we look at what both Jesus and the lame man said it’s pretty clear. John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he… Read more

For years growing up and well into my adult years I loved hearing Paul Harvey’s stories on the radio. He had an incredible way of building up a true story by setting forth all of the circumstances and conditions without giving up the punch line. And when he finally delivered it, it was almost always… Read more

This question has been asked by every kid at one time or another and the answer still illudes us all… well not the Creator. But it brings up a good question for us. Which comes first in our life and how do we answer the question? I think we get a pretty good clue if we take… Read more

It’s funny how the Lord works in my mind when I am reading His Word with the pictures He paints! The Tesla Roadster goes from 0-60 in 1.9 seconds… huh… How about 0-150 in 2 seconds in a Phantom! I can tell you its a real kick in the pants and I used to do… Read more
