Faith, Grace, Hearing God, Prayer, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit

The other mourning something I read in Isaiah brought forth an interesting picture in my mind. Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. When I think of God’s holiness my mind simply cannot grasp what it means, what… Read more

I saw this question in something I was reading last week in reference to a verse in Hosea. It gave me pause to think about where I have been singing and how often the place varies. It all came about when I read just four words that were attributed to the Israel’s condition as Hosea was bringing… Read more

Faith, God’s Will, Hearing God, Sanctification, The Holy Spirit

I was challenged by the Holy Spirit the other morning with a simple question… What Are You Asking For? I thought about it and focused on several things, but His response in my spirit was short and sweet… You are asking amiss! When He asked me that question my first thought was that familiar verse in Luke… Luke… Read more

A simple question, but the answer isn’t as simple as it sounds. A simple yes or no won’t work. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Bible but the prophet’s message is a powerful one, one that goes right to the heart of the issue facing us today… deliverance. In Obadiah’s day it was about deliverance… Read more

This morning as I was reading in Jeremiah I was struck by a verse that painted a picture for me that was in sharp contrast to the one that was painted for one of Israel’s greatest enemies… Moab. The picture that flashed across my mind was at once both related to me personally and corporately to… Read more

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

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

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

When we are born again, when we become betrothed to the King of kings to become His bride, when the Holy Spirit brings us into the family of God… we begin the greatest adventure of all time. We may only be a child or we may be a full-grown adult with children of our own;… 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
