Dear prayer partners and friends, This has been a very difficult week. When Robin went to visit her parents, along with Andrew and Emily, and Grace, last weekend, her dad was able to get around and was doing OK. His health has been going down slowly over the past couple years. But, in the last […]

The Great Exchange

Ps 48:9 We have thought of your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple…Ps 48:12-13 As David walks around Zion, he marvels at the place God has given his people and thinks about the next generation. He says, “Look around! See all that God has given us! This is your God, our […]

My Decleration

August 1, 2021

I have been reading the book, “Winning the War in Your Mind” by Craig Groeschel with my older son. It has been a really good book. One of the premises of the book is that Satan is a liar, and all he says are lies. According to John 8:44 lying is his native tongue. Just […]

13 Speaking with Authority

August 1, 2021

Our Situation:Have you ever sent an older child to give instruction to a younger child, only to have the child come back and tell you, “Johnnie wouldn’t listen to me.” Why? The younger child doesn’t want to be bossed by his older sibling is one reason, usually. But, the bigger reason is that they don’t […]

Discipline can be defined in a couple different ways. Discipline for doing […]

Prayers God answers

In 1 Kings 8 Solomon dedicates the temple to God. As he praises God for keeping his promise to David by allowing Solomon to build the temple, he asks God to make another promise. Solomon goes through every possible scenario of what could happen to the people of Israel, and asks God, “O Lord God, […]

A Dim Shadow

July 17, 2021

In 1 Kings 7 it describes the incredible grandeur of Solomon’s temple. Reading this passing in the NLT really made these objects come to life. I was blown away by how big the Temple furnishing were. Here’s a couple examples: 1 Kings 7:23, 26 Then Hiram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from […]

Back to work

July 11, 2021

Dear Faithful partners, After 3 days away, it’s back to work. Our time away was very relaxing. It’s amazing how relaxing it can be to sit by the ocean and just listen to the waves. The Lord gave us beautiful weather. The ocean was very clear. We even got out snorkeling one of the days. […]

12-Eyes that SEE, by faith

July 11, 2021

Our Situation: What does it mean to SEE through eyes of faith? In CS Lewis’ final book in his Narnia series, he describes a scene that illustrates this point well I think. The children are all in a barn, and some of them can see Narnia, but all the dwarf can see is the walls […]
