“Come sit with Me for a while.”
Years ago, my brother-in-law had two delightful fur-babies: Tucker, the effervescent and lovable Schnorkie (Schnauzer/Yorkie) and Ford, the curious and very cautious cat. During one of our visits, Ford and Tucker vied for time with me in the living room recliner....
“But God…”
“But God” is a powerful message. The word “but”means yet, nevertheless, nonetheless, however, even so, still, notwithstanding, despite that, and in spite of. Despite the Israelites constant murmuring and complaining, God continued to provide...
Personal Observations
Recently, I rediscovered a few “personal observations” that I had paraphrased from biblical truths with the purpose of anchoring my heart to God. During the first years of walking with the Lord, it became apparent that the world is a powerful distraction from God, so...
God’s Workmanship
Composer, director, and film maker, Tim Janis, posts picturesque YouTube videos showcasing God’s creation with all its splendor and beauty seen around the world. His videos have given me a greater appreciation for God’s workmanship and artistry. For God said, “I...
An Attitude Adjustment
If you are anything like me, you probably need an attitude adjustment from time-to-time. Paul wrote in Philippians 2:5, “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.” In other words, he is saying, have the same attitude that Christ...
Unmasking the Enemy
The level of evil increases with each passing day, and people ask, “What is happening?” The answer can be found within Scripture that unmasks the enemy: Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the...

“Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down.” What a remarkable prayer from the prophet, Isaiah. It is a prayer the Church should be praying in our day. What did Isaiah mean when he asked the Lord to rend the heavens? This phrase means to...
The Pleasures of God
A phrase in Psalm 16:11 has captivated my attention for weeks now. David wrote, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” I have been meditating and savoring the...
We Must Pray
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines prayer as “a request for help or an expression of thanks addressed to God.” Prayer is conversation with God, through Jesus our Intercessor. In other words, a prayer is addressed to God the Father and is ended with, “In Jesus’...
The Way
Today’s demagogues are pushing the lie that A.I. and other advanced technologies can create eternal life and 2.0 humans that become their own god. Therefore, heaven is a fantasy and hell is a fictitious place that can be dismissed. Yet Jesus spoke of hell at least 20...
Now
Does Satan often remind you of your past? It seems he keeps a detailed record of our mistakes and failures, and he has a way of bringing them up right as God begins to move in our life. For many it’s one step forward, two steps back, in their spiritual...
The Power of Obedience
Do you believe Jesus understands the needs of your life? In my view, the story of the coin in the fish’s mouth not only proves that Jesus understands our practical necessities, but that he orchestrates every detail. It is interesting to me that this...
