What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight? To live with eyes of faith? I have shared a couple of posts in my study in the life of Christ. From the last 2 posts, it has been interesting to contrast the story of the Royal Official whose son was sick (John […]

I love King Hiram’s response to Solomon when Solomon requests assistance of materials to build the temple. Hiram says, “It is because the Lord loves his people that he appointed you as king!” (2 Chron 2:11) God knows what we need. His love compels him to provide it. For the people of Isreal, God knew […]

Have you ever read Psalm 119 and wondered how David could have been so “in love” with God’s commandments? Ps 119:97 I love your law Ps 119:127 I love your laws above gold, above fine gold. Ps 119:128 Your laws are wonderful, therefore I keep them. David is talking about the Mosaic Law here. The […]

I am always amazed at how quickly the people of Israel forgot about how powerful God is. We have been reading through Exodus the past couple weeks. I am not sure how much time elapsed from the time Moses and Aaron first approached Pharoah in Exodus 6 until the crossing of the Red Sea in […]

Things were heating up in Thessalonica. The Jews (Acts 17: 5) had formed a mob and set the city in an uproar. They had dragged Paul and Silas’ host into the square demanding they hand over Paul and Silas. (Acts 17:6). So (Acts 17:10) the brethren thought it best to get Paul and Silas out […]

In Acts 13:27 Paul makes a statement that I think is very applicable to today. Listen to what he says, “Because they did not understand the utterances of the prophets which were read to them every Sabbath, they fulfilled them by condemning Him (Jesus.)” In the world’s rejection of truth, and rejection of those who […]

How often do we act like we know better than God? I think in my pride I would never admit that openly. Actually, often I think I even convince myself that is not what I am doing. But, the truth is, when I complain, or when I grumble about something, what I am really saying […]

Robin and I began reading a book together this past week. It’s a bit of a manual for member care. Paul Tripp uses “Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hand” as the basis for his “Changing Hearts, Changing Lives” curriculum. In the first chapter he begins by painting the picture of why mankind is so messed up. […]

The Source of True Wisdom In a world where there seems to be no limit to scientific discovery. Where electronics give us the control of almost everything at the tip of our fingers. A world where infant mortality is low and life expectancy is long. In all that man has discovered, without God, it’s nothing. […]

I have to wonder how often I interpret circumstances and the things I face differently that how God sees them. How about you? As I read Job 16 and 17, that is exactly what Job was doing. Job was convinced that God had evil intent toward him. Read what he says in Job 16:12-14 Job […]
