Jesus – the Lion of Judah
Ever since about the third grade, one of my favorite books has been The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. At one point, early in the story, one of the children is being informed about the one called Aslan who is their only hope. Of course, the youngster believes this one to …
A Better Country
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from …
Moved by WHAT?
What is it that moves you? What is it that really gets your attention? What really lights your fire and causes you to speak up and act out? The disciple of Jesus should be very concerned about the answer to these questions. Passion is a good thing. God has created us to be passionate. However, …
With Wings As Eagles
In Isaiah chapter 40 verse 31, we read, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” The obvious import and spiritual truth imparted by the passage is that strength and …
Part of the Divine Plan
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds …

There are many voices competing for our attention. There are many destinations pleading for our arrival. There are many products and companies begging for our money. Yet only once voice matters. Only one destination is of any consequence. Only one being can inform us as what to do with / how to look at our …
Stephen: Making An Impact
There is not an abundance of biblical material when it comes to Stephen. His story is almost totally limited to Acts 6 &7. However, what is revealed is that Stephen is a man who made a difference—he made an impact on others. He made an impact on his community as well as the world. As …
God Knows
“Why even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7) What a thrill to consider how wonderful and powerful the God of heaven really is! It is so humbling to thing about the endless number of things that He can easily do that …
Make Today Great!
The second stanza of Charles Kinglsey’s poem, “The Noble Life” goes like this: “Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever; Do noble things, not dream them all day long; As so make life, and death, and For Ever One grand sweet song.” Such is a good reminder that today is the day …
Who Is Jesus?
Divine names are extremely significant and packed full of meaning Men like Abraham, Jacob, Moses and David received a progressive revelation of the character of God by means of those names. B.F. Westcott once wrote: “Each name authoritatively given to God is, so to speak, a fresh and lasting revelation of his nature. Now in …
