I have always understood this verse, as have many others, as a promise: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. NKJV But the other day I, as is usually the case, read this verse in the KJV: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Other versions like… Read more

It seems, at least in my experience, that when the Lord is working on some part of your life that it shows up everywhere you look… and this moment in time is no exception. The Holy Spirit has taken me back once again to the Book of Revelation with a much deeper look at the bride… Read more

I read a short piece a while back by my favorite daily encourager, Oswald Chambers, He addressed our challenge with self-interest and how living by faith often sets the issue of waiving our rights center stage. Let me share the challenge that the Holy Spirit set in front of me after I digested his thoughts.… Read more

Once again, it never ceases to totally amaze me that I can read something in the Bible and all of a sudden an entirely different thought or understanding hits me. And perhaps that is why I love reading and studying the Word so much… there is always something new with the turn of a page.… 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’m not a poker player but I’ve heard a well-turned phrase associated with the game…”All In.” That got me to thinking the other day about a lot of things that phrase applies to other than poker, and the one that stuck in my head concerned a verse from 1 Peter… 1 Peter 2:9 But you are… Read more

At one time or another we all have been or are dedicated to something, either positive or negative. Saul of Tarsus was dedicated to the Law, the feasts, and sacrifices that God laid out in His Word to Israel. But like all of the leaders in Israel, Saul went beyond his personal dedication “to God”… Read more

Isa 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

I have been teaching on spiritual warfare these past few weeks and one morning the Lord led me back to the Book of Acts. It is a book that I have always enjoyed and learned from as I truly admire the life of Paul. But this time I was struck by something that I had… 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
