The other morning I was where I usually am at 0600… sitting by the fireside spending some quiet time in the Word. We had just had another brief snow shower the night before and as the sun was coming up I noticed that there was not a breath of wind. As I looked out the… Read more

There is a verse in Jeremiah that has always confused me, but I have never taken the time to work through it… Jer 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me,… Read more

As I sat there bemoaning the long wait and my growing anger at the delay I closed my eyes to try to make the long line in front of me disappear. I don’t remember what I was thinking about but it was interrupted by that still small voice in my heart… Tell him that I love… Read more

I have been trying to work through some difficult issues over the past few weeks and as I have reached out to the Lord, the Holy Spirit keeps taking me back to Jesus in the garden. He has shown me a great deal about Jesus and how He walked out that devastating moment in His… Read more

There they were, in a boat having crossed the Sea of Galilee and, after what they had just witnessed, what were they thinking about? Matt 16:5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Mark tells us that they had just one loaf in the boat. And… Read more

I was meditating on Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountain (Matt 7) and the word “vision” in verse 9. It got me to thinking once again about how God gives us His vision and what we “do” with it as opposed what we “are to do” with it. If you read the account of Jesus’ transfiguration you… Read more

Sometimes I come upon a scripture or have a thought about something and I go back into our database of old Updates to find a piece that I know addressed the subject before. I was reminded of that when my phone somehow connected itself to the radio and began playing a song that has spoken… Read more

There is something very sad in seeing a beautiful sailing ship sit, day after day, moored to the pier. She is made to take on the ocean and travel far and wide and yet there she is, with sails furled, dock-lines secured to the bollards, sheets coiled and decks empty of any activity. As you… Read more

When I took that battery of tests to start my journey in Naval aviation there was a section that to this day I can’t get out of my mind. It was a series of pictures of gears that were all connected, and in each case one gear turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise and you needed… Read more

James 1:23-24 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer… James made it very clear what we are to do and not to do with what we hear in the Word of God. Why? Because there are many believers who sit under sound preaching and teaching and nod their heads… Read more
