Dying to Self, God’s Will, Grace, Obedience, Prayer, The Bride, Walk The Walk

A powerful verse from one of God’s minor prophets set me to reflecting about the past and thinking about the present. Obad 21b … and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. When we were kids there was a hill just outside of town where we used to play King of the Hill. It was a battle… Read more

Faith, God’s Will, Hearing God, Obedience, Prayer, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Walk The Walk

The Holy Spirit caught my attention this morning as I was reading a very familiar scripture; one that all of us know well but often pass over quickly. But as I read it my attention, as it has been for months, was focused not only on the “prophetic” message but on the people to whom… Read more

Faith, God’s Will, Obedience, Overcoming, Sanctification, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, Trials and Tribulations, Walk The Walk

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

Covenant, Dying to Self, God’s Will, Hearing God, Obedience, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Walk The Walk

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

Doubt, Faith, Fear, Obedience, Overcoming, Spiritual Authority, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Word, Walk The Walk

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

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
