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

The moment someone refers to a “plate” in church, the focus of virtually everyone in the pews goes to money. That’s what I used to do but, oh how that misses the point! In studying the Book of Malachi once again I was taken with the message God was delivering to the spiritual leaders in Israel.… Read more

If you have been following me then you know I have been spending a great deal of time in the Old Testament. God has been showing me, as I said the other day, that history truly does repeat itself. And the path that Israel walked down is now the path of the majority of the church… Read more

When tragedy strikes, when life is senselessly taken in the name of some ideology or cause, and when fear overwhelms a country, the response is to ask why, what for… who? What happened in Orlando yesterday, what caused the loss of 50 lives and the pain and suffering of 53 more and for all the families… 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

There is one section of scripture that everyone, believers and non-believers alike, have heard at one time or another. But the interpretation of those words by the two is as different as night and day. For the non-believer it’s “fate,” a life of wishes, fears, worry, anger, envy, and disappointment. For the believer it’s “faith,” a life of… Read more

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

Yes… I have been guilty many times! But then again I do take some comfort in the fact that I am not alone. In fact there are some incredibly strong fathers of faith in the Bible that were also guilty of being impatient; more than once. And the other day in an effort to hear… Read more

Doubt, Dry Times, Faith, God’s Will, Hearing God, Obedience

Have you ever or are you now in one of those “in-between” times? Those periods between hearing God’s promise and seeing it come to pass that can put a real strain on our faith. I’ve been there so many times that you would think by now I’d have it down pat. Not even close. The… Read more
