There come those times to all of us when we find ourselves facing a crisis in our life and we don’t know what to do. And it always seems that at that moment the crisis seems to grow larger and the clouds get darker. I was reflecting on that this morning and the Lord reminded… Read more

If you have been following my writings for any length of time, you know that the Lord has drawn me into the message of spiritual maturity. For that reason He has revealed and continues to reveal His truth regarding my most frequently quoted verse; Rom 8:29. And it seems that at every turn He is taking… Read more

When the Israelites went to war with Amalek (Ex 17), the Word gives us a picture of Moses on top of the hill praying over the battle. Every time Moses weakened and lowered his hands the battle shifted in favor of Amalek. But standing alongside of Moses were Aaron and Hur, Caleb’s Son, who would hold up Moses’… 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

I remember the day as clearly as if it was yesterday, the first day of school and my first day in first grade. It was back in those days that if you were going to play in the school band you started at six years old. Well, whether I wanted to or not I don’t… Read more

I was thinking about a verse that I have written about previously on a number of occasions and something hit me that, while I knew it, I never really thought about it. Eph 5:18 … but be filled with the Spirit I have always focused on the tense of the word “filled” (present continuous)… be being filled. We… Read more

Paul painted a picture for me the other morning that developed into a rather long discussion with the Lord. It involved a hard look at my life and all of the twists and turns it has taken over these many years. And at the center of that picture (discussion) was a ladder, leaning against a… Read more

As he walked along the stream, the sidehill attracted Bill’s attention. He stopped and laid down on his stomach as he studied the formation long and carefully. His eye went up the slope to the crumbling canyon wall and back down to the steam at his feet and with a smile he muttered… Looks good to… Read more

In writing my book The Battle For Rest I spent a long time studying Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. As I pondered each piece of armor the Holy Spirit impressed upon me the urgent need for the bride of Christ to understand exactly where she finds herself in this world… in the Army of God. Sadly,… Read more

It is impossible to go out in the world today and not be surrounded by companies “displaying” what they have to offer for sale. And (don’t we) spend a lot of time looking at their displays; in person, on TV or the Internet? And that begs the question… what are we displaying? Eph 4:22-24 that you put… Read more
