So Far As It Depends On You
The book of Romans is so powerful, deeply profound, and even majestic. One of my favorite passages is found in chapter 12—verses 9 through 21. If you will carefully read these 13 verses, you will be both inspired and challenged. In particular, reflect on v.18: “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live …
How To Get The Chicken
Someone once said: “The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.” So many aspects of our lives are disrupted and destroyed due to impatience. We grow weary of waiting, smash the egg, and then complain that we have no baby chickens. Consider a couple of biblical …
Book Knowledge
Don’t be mislead by the title. This is not an article about the merits of knowledge gained from books rather than from direct personal experience. There is much to be said for having a healthy and well-rounded combination of both. Instead, these thoughts are about knowing The Book—God’s Word as revealed in the pages of …
Why Has All This Happened To Us?
The history of Gideon is fascinating. There is a reason why his story is so commonly shared with young people at Vacation Bible School, etc. But before he was smashing jars and blowing trumpets (Judges 7:19-21), he was wrestling with difficult questions. And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir, if the LORD is with us, …
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 …
One Thing
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 …
