It goes without saying that we find ourselves coming up to many crossroads along our walk with God. Many of them involve choices that are easy to make, but it’s also certain that when God wants to make a point with us they present us with a challenge. That’s why the Holy Spirit gave James… Read more

I wonder if Peter was sitting in his boat on the Sea of Galilee when he was inspired to write… 1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: There he was, fishing in the clear water of the Sea of Galilee as… 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

Many many times I have pondered and meditated on that famous challenge to Israel and the church from Leviticus… Lev 11:44 (a) For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy… In Hebrew the word holy, as used here, means “absolutely sacred”… what… Read more

Jesus made a statement to His disciples that puzzled them, and it’s a statement that speaks to and puzzles His bride today: John 16:16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.” The key is found in the word… 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

There is a mixed message (one of many) between the Old Testament and the New with respect to “doing what is right.” But the root of the messages point in the same direction; the desired result is not achieved. Prov 30:12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed… Read more

Webster defines “whole” as free of defect or impairment or having all its proper parts or components; complete/unmodified. Kinda sounds like “perfect” to me. I wonder if that’s what happened at the the pool; Bethesda? If we look at what both Jesus and the lame man said it’s pretty clear. John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he… Read more
