Obedience, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, Walk The Walk

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

Faith, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, Walk The Walk

It was interesting the other day when the Holy Spirit led me back to the New Testament after studying Chronicles; quite a contrast and yet the bridge between those books and Ephesians is one I never really saw before. And as I began working my way through Paul’s words to not only all the believers… Read more

Along my journey through 2 Chronicles I spent some time thinking about Hezekiah and where he found Jerusalem at the outset of his reign. The Temple was in a terrible state of neglect and misuse and was a direct reflection of the condition of the people before God. And he was charged with putting the… Read more

Do you ever feel like you’re just marking time in life? How about in your spiritual development? I got to thinking about that this morning as I continued my journey through 1 and 2 Chronicles. 2 Chron 24:4 Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the Lord. As… Read more

Sometimes I get the question… Why should we study the Old Testament now that we are in the church age? And I used to voice the same question as the OT just seemed to be a “history book” containing the records of Israel’s story… the people that set the stage for Jesus. In other words, I didn’t… Read more

I think the statement that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” misses the mark for the bride of Christ. “Good Intentions” are not alien to our walk with the Lord and certainly He views them in a different light! Last week as the Lord continued His current path of revealing the truth of… Read more

I remember the day I bought the book. It was the biggest book I had ever added to my then infant library; The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a fan for life and that book followed me over many ensuing years until – alas – it disappeared. I never ceased to be amazed… Read more

The Lord changed things up for me this past week and He led me from my study of the Book of Esther in the Old Testament to the Book of Jude. I wasn’t quite sure why after just spending some time digesting the message of Esther. Just as an aside, the book is all about… Read more

Hearing God, Obedience, Prayer, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Walk The Walk

“Always” is a word that I have used sparingly in my business writing as it connotes a certainty; without exception. But in studying and teaching the Word of God just the opposite is true. What God has said is “always” true and there are “no” exceptions. That was brought home to me once again the… Read more

As I was reading about the struggles of Ezra and Nehemiah to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem I came to the place where Nehemiah was challenged once again by the forces of evil; Sanballat, Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites and Ashdodites (its always the “ites”). And I was challenged to think about how I overcome… Read more
