Faith, God’s Will, Grace, Hearing God, Obedience, Salvation, Sanctification, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, Walk The Walk

A simple question, but the answer isn’t as simple as it sounds. A simple yes or no won’t work. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Bible but the prophet’s message is a powerful one, one that goes right to the heart of the issue facing us today… deliverance. In Obadiah’s day it was about deliverance… Read more

Dying to Self, God’s Will, Grace, Obedience, Prayer, The Bride, Walk The Walk

A powerful verse from one of God’s minor prophets set me to reflecting about the past and thinking about the present. Obad 21b … and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. When we were kids there was a hill just outside of town where we used to play King of the Hill. It was a battle… Read more

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

Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist, had a slogan that completely summed up who he believed he was… I only get into situations I can control and from which I can escape! In studying the Book of Amos I was challenged by something that Lloyd Ogilvie said in his commentary with respect to Houdini’s mantra… Most of us have a Houdini… Read more

Grace, Prayer, Walk The Walk

The word “memorial” is designed to focus our attention on a person who has died. They are memorialized in the form of plaques or monuments as standards to remind us of the sacrifice their lives have made. But so often those memorials become blurred and the impact of the sacrifice wanes in the face of… Read more

Covenant, Faith, Grace, Obedience, Overcoming, Prayer, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Trials and Tribulations, Walk The Walk

Just a short thought to consider. God’s Word tells us clearly and plainly that He is more than able to “keep us.” Consider the words of Jude as just one example: Jude 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with… Read more

Covenant, Faith, Forgiveness, Grace, Salvation, Sanctification

Just a thought to ponder… Is there anything in heaven that is man-made ? Well it would seem at first blush that the Word says the answer is no, there isn’t… Luke 12:18-20 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and… Read more

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! Well, at the very real danger of dating myself, I must admit that I am a child of BT (before television). And, sadly, the generations that have followed have missed out on something very special… when it was all about radio. In the… Read more

There is nothing more exhilarating than pushing the throttles all the way to the “stops” and letting the force of 54,000 pounds of after-burning thrust lift you into the heavens. But slowly but surely you come to that point where there just isn’t enough thrust to push you any higher, and you take one last look… Read more

I have always loved the Rocky Mountains and am so blessed to be back home once again. And I have always appreciated those who have captured them with their artistic gifts. I, on the other hand, can only look and admire as drawing a circle has always been a chore. And in that vein I… Read more
