The Quilt
How often do we find ourselves in situations where we don’t understand what is happening? How many times do we fail to just trust the Lord that He has a plan and that everything is in His hands? For me, I have to admit that happens too often. I’m a planner and a doer and… Read more

Are You A Partner – A Partaker?
It’s interesting that John, in his First Letter, opened with a focus on fellowship.

In Obadiah’s day it was about deliverance… Read more

The Lees
This morning as I was reading in Jeremiah I was struck by a verse that painted a picture for me that was in sharp contrast to the one that was painted for one of Israel’s greatest enemies… Moab. The picture that flashed across my mind was at once both related to me personally and corporately to… Read more

No Satisfaction
Back in 1965 the Rolling Stones recorded a number one hit that delivered a profound message, but it wasn’t necessarily the one they intended. I got to thinking about that this morning as I was reading Psalm 17 and I thought how true the words of that song were when we put them in perspective of… Read more
