Hearing God, Jesus Rest, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Walk The Walk

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

Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, refers to… the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but is now made manifest to his saints (Col 1:26). In thinking about that some time ago I was taken with one translation of “the mystery” (musterion; The holy secret). It means a truth that cannot be… Read more

Every time I sit down to meditate on the Word of God the Holy Spirit always seems to tie it back to Rom 8:29. But sometimes He links my study back to what has become my most important life verse. It is always found in connection with my walk through this life beside Jesus. And… Read more

Last time (Looking Ahead) I passed along some thoughts about the shortest verse in the Bible… Jesus wept (John 11:35). That sort of got me to thinking about what his resurrection means for us today, and so I began to reflect on what happened to him after the fact. So, first let’s look at what occurred immediately… Read more

Faith, Fear, Jesus Rest, Salvation, Sanctification, The Bride, The Holy Spirit

I was reading the account of the resurrection of Lazarus in John when I came to that familiar verse where John describes Jesus approaching the tome. I have always read these verses as a perfect example of Jesus’ humanity. John 11:33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping,… Read more

What Isaiah said under the power of the Holy Spirit carries a message for the bride of Christ; the saved and believing members of the body of His body, His church… Isa 45:22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. Oswald Chambers… Read more

How often the world hears the word “meekness” and associates it with “weakness.” It seems that the meek shall inherit the earth (Matt 5:5) is just another way of saying that it’s those who don’t do anything that will wind up the winners in the end. What the world, and many Christians, misses is verse 3: theirs… Read more

Along my journey through 2 Chronicles I spent some time thinking about Hezekiah and where he found Jerusalem at the outset of his reign. The Temple was in a terrible state of neglect and misuse and was a direct reflection of the condition of the people before God. And he was charged with putting the… Read more

We’ve entered into a marriage contract, a covenant, with the creator of the universe, but how many of us really know who He is? Have we made the commitment and spent time with Him to learn who He is and what He says? I suspect if you’re like I was, you have spent entirely too… Read more
