Jesus said, “The world will hate you because it hated me first.” He told the disciples they would be hated for HIS NAME’S SAKE and he said the time would come when HIS would be kicked out of synagogues (religious assemblies – the congregation) and the very ones that kick you out of the congregation, […]
Yesterday is gone, and I’m glad about that. Sometimes it seems when a truth is opened up to me and I can see a new thing differently than before, a testing of my faith follows that truth on subject of the very thing I’ve been shown. There is so much worry in the mind – […]
This morning the Lord showed me something I’d not seen before, but it’s beautiful. What does it mean to believe in Jesus? Simple answer – I’m not capable of doing this. And as a demonstration I put myself up against the disciples. Needless to say they had a lot more going for them than I […]
One of the scriptures I see so commonly used in discussing God’s will for us is found in John 10:10. Jesus describes the enemy’s task and HIS task with clear separation. He says, “The thief comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and […]
Last week when I was walking out of Subway, the Lord laid a question on my heart. “Would you walk through fire to get to me?” And over the last few days, this has been a lingering subject within my own heart. Yesterday I just felt this need to take a walk and as I […]

This place doesn’t have necessity and the fleshly requirements are no more – no labor to breathe, no need to talk, there’s no […]
In “Father Please Let Him Live”, there was a process that started our journey that continues to be one the most humbling, life-changing, eye-opening experiences of my life. And I often think about Saul (who later became the Apostle Paul). It seems he had a lot going for him. He was a young, highly intelligent […]
Life is a really disturbing thing, because it lacks meaning. It’s like dedicating all that I am for a race – so that I can win the trophy. But at the end of that race, looking upon the trophy only brings temporary joy. It doesn’t last. Nor does life. The curse of Adam and Eve […]
I was in a deep sleep as I heard the alarm sounding – my cue to wake up. I knew it was important that I wake up and get ready – I had a flight to catch. But each time the alarm went off, I ignored it, telling myself that I would sleep for just […]
