How often the world hears the word “meekness” and associates it with “weakness.” It seems that the meek shall inherit the earth (Matt 5:5) is just another way of saying that it’s those who don’t do anything that will wind up the winners in the end. What the world, and many Christians, misses is verse 3: theirs… Read more

I remember the day as clearly as if it was yesterday, the first day of school and my first day in first grade. It was back in those days that if you were going to play in the school band you started at six years old. Well, whether I wanted to or not I don’t… Read more

I was thinking about a verse that I have written about previously on a number of occasions and something hit me that, while I knew it, I never really thought about it. Eph 5:18 … but be filled with the Spirit I have always focused on the tense of the word “filled” (present continuous)… be being filled. We… Read more

Paul painted a picture for me the other morning that developed into a rather long discussion with the Lord. It involved a hard look at my life and all of the twists and turns it has taken over these many years. And at the center of that picture (discussion) was a ladder, leaning against a… Read more

As he walked along the stream, the sidehill attracted Bill’s attention. He stopped and laid down on his stomach as he studied the formation long and carefully. His eye went up the slope to the crumbling canyon wall and back down to the steam at his feet and with a smile he muttered… Looks good to… Read more

In writing my book The Battle For Rest I spent a long time studying Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. As I pondered each piece of armor the Holy Spirit impressed upon me the urgent need for the bride of Christ to understand exactly where she finds herself in this world… in the Army of God. Sadly,… Read more

Along my journey through 2 Chronicles I spent some time thinking about Hezekiah and where he found Jerusalem at the outset of his reign. The Temple was in a terrible state of neglect and misuse and was a direct reflection of the condition of the people before God. And he was charged with putting the… Read more

I spent some time reflecting on my journey through this world the other morning in light of the wanderings of Israel on its way to founding Jerusalem. It was interesting that the nation was never referred to as “aliens.” It was the Gentiles that were called “resident aliens,” the Hebrews were always called “sojourners.” In… Read more

Do you ever feel like you’re just marking time in life? How about in your spiritual development? I got to thinking about that this morning as I continued my journey through 1 and 2 Chronicles. 2 Chron 24:4 Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the Lord. As… Read more
Good Intentions!

I think the statement that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” misses the mark for the bride of Christ. “Good Intentions” are not alien to our walk with the Lord and certainly He views them in a different light! Last week as the Lord continued His current path of revealing the truth of… Read more
