Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
The Cross: Jesus Turns His Face Toward Jerusalem
When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, He set His face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 This is the very definition of obedience. Jesus knew what awaited Him in Jerusalem. And yet He turned resolutely to Jerusalem and the Cross. Let us likewise, in faithfulness...
Easter 2025: The Cross
The Cross of Easter looms on a hill in Gethsemane. We begin a series of reflections on the Cross and the hinge of history. #Easter2025
Glorious Darkness
We're living in strange days. When I see what's happening in this world, if I didn't know the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm not sure what I would do. Yet, knowing the Bible and Bible prophecy, when I see all these things coming to pass, they do not shake me. Sometimes they...
Believe It Or Not
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It was written by more than 40 authors over a period of 1,500 years (1,400 BC - 100 AD). It is contrary to reason to believe that it is some conspiracy promulgated over 3,500 years. There have been vast...
A Half Truth Equals A Whole Lie
The Apostle Paul to the Ephesian elders: "For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God." Acts 20:27 ESV We must preach the whole counsel of God. If we're going to preach about God's love, we must also preach about what God hates. If we preach...
He Is Waiting
When you approach the tabernacle for Sabbath worship remember that He has been waiting for you for twenty centuries. St. Josemaria Escriva (1902 -1975)
Worship
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I beseech you to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice to God, a sacred offering that brings Him pleasure. This is your reasonable and essential worship. Romans 12:1 Adapted For the Christian, worship isn't only church...
On Sin
I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. Psalm 51:4 Adapted But God: The way to cover our sin is to uncover it by confession. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just...
God’s Time
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3 NIV Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will....
Flogging A Dead Horse
There is no point in flogging a dead horse. When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.
A Transporting Thought
Live as though Jesus Christ had been crucified yesterday, had risen this morning, and was returning for the Saints tomorrow. Adapted, Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
Mercy
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For by His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 NRSV There is not a single one of us who has not sinned and fallen short...
I Believe In God
There are two distinct meanings to the statement, I believe in God. The first meaning is, "I believe God exists." The second is, "I have faith in God, that God is trustworthy."
Why?
What we do is important to God. More important is the why we do it. And that we do it with passionate excellence. The why of the heart. For His glory.
Saint
Saint, n. a dead sinner.
Failure
There is a vast difference between failing and being a failure. The greatest failure is the failure to try. A person only becomes a failure if they stop trying.
Confession And Petition
Holy Lord, I have sinned times without number and been guilty of pride and unbelief. Of failure to find Thy mind in Your Word, of neglect to seek You in my daily life. My transgressions and short-comings make up a grievous list of accusations, but I give You all...
Exceedingly Abundantly More
Now all glory to God who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we would ever dare to ask, hope or dream for. Ephesians 3:20, Adapted Grace is God's power to do in us what we cannot do ourselves.
