Ever think much about garbage, other than when it’s time to take it out? Well, even then I don’t give it much thought, just put it out beside the curb and let the pros cart it off to a place where I don’t have to think about it anymore. But, like last week, there are… Read more
Parallelism

Covenant, Faith, God’s Will, Grace, Prayer, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word

How often have we heard the term “parallel universe” used today? It seems like its in every movie or TV program that has to do with time and space. But what do we truly know about what it is or if it is? Has the one really and truly ever crossed into the other? Those… Read more

One morning last week as I was enjoying my coffee and time with the Lord I was watching the sun come up, and as it rose higher a voice down inside said, “See.” And I immediately got the message. We live in a world that at times seems to be spiritually dead. Even a large part… Read more

I remember the first thing my scoutmaster told me on the night of my first boy scout meeting… “always remember to Be Prepared.” I guess that somehow lodged itself into my brain and for the ensuing 60 years I have carried that thought into just about everything I have done; sometimes to excess. That all came back to… 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

In one of my books (embarrassing – I don’t remember which one) I used an example from the Old Testament to make a point about who we have been called to be in God’s Kingdom and what that represents. And as I was reading in Isaiah Sunday morning I was reminded once again about the… Read more

The other morning I was working on a research project and decided to take a break. I grabbed a glass of orange juice and went out on the patio. I had just plopped down on the chaise lounge and told the Lord that I just wanted to spend some time with Him and recharge my… Read more

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

The other mourning something I read in Isaiah brought forth an interesting picture in my mind. Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. When I think of God’s holiness my mind simply cannot grasp what it means, what… Read more
The Future Is The Norm

Faith, Forgiveness, God’s Will, Grace, Hearing God, Jesus Rest, Obedience, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, Walk The Walk

There is a whole lot to ponder in that statement and the word “future” could keep us pondering for days. I may be dating myself again but back in 1970 Alvin Toffler wrote a book that captured the attention of at least 6 million people who bought the book… Future Shock. His message surrounded the premise… Read more
