As We Abide

In my previous post I wrote about God as A Sure Foundation as stated in Isaiah 33:6, “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.” Today I want to address the final portion of [...]

There is a lot of building going on in my neighborhood. I am amazed at how quickly these homes are going up. It takes awhile for the clearing to take place and the foundation to be laid, but once the foundation is sure, the house is up in no time. It seems like one day [...]

The great thing about the new year is we feel, in some absurd way, we get a clean slate to start over. We start over with our exercise and nutrition plan (cuz we all know that’s been blown for a few weeks!), we clean out closets and the junk in our house, we start over [...]

I recently heard a great song by Mercy Me entitled So Long Self. (I have provided the link so you can enjoy it.) No Room For Two It’s lyrics, “So long self… I have found somebody else…there’s just no room for two so you are gonna have to move…” echo the message of John the [...]

“Same song, second verse, a little bit louder, a little bit worse!” This is a familiar tune sung by many. They sing a song of woe. They sing a song of regret. They sing a song of worry, a song of fear, and a song of defeat. It’s the same old song they have sung [...]

On Wednesday I talked about the benefits of salvation vs. the burdens of sin based on Psalm 68:19. “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. (pause, think about it)” KJV The NIV states, “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears [...]

The walk of faith is anything but easy. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but it is hard. True, it is fulfilling, inspiring, and gives purpose to life, but there are days when it is gut wrenching and grueling.  I’m just say’in. I recently wrote this poem. Tell me if you relate. This Path Of [...]

Life is sacred. Life is uncertain. Life is short. I went to a funeral on Saturday, and was again reminded of the frailty of life. God has given us a measured time on earth, and it is up to us what we do with that time. Solomon, in his wisdom wrote, “It is better to [...]

In my last post I talked about changes in our lives, and how the Lord gets our attention to change the course we are on. I shared how the song “Go” by Leon Patillo was a  “Changing Track” in my life to call me to full time ministry. Some day I would love to thank [...]

Changes. Some people like them. Some people hate them. Changes come in all kinds of packages. Some are welcomed; some are not. We can be confident in this one thing we know will never change (other than God): life will always have changes. The Lord has a remarkable way of interrupting the course in of [...]
