“I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you. “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your […]
The blind and the lame came to Him in the temple complex, and He healed them. When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders that He did and the children in the temple complex cheering, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant. (Matthew 21:14-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©) There are times for all of us […]
For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. From the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, […]
Rust will cause metal to crumble. Hammer blows harden it. Slackness or laziness regarding your spiritual life will cause it to grow cold or weary or dead. Avoiding trouble rather than overcoming it can cripple you spiritually or emotionally. Spiritual struggles and attacks will cause you to gain strength if your response to them is to fill your mind and […]
Our God – our Father – spoke blazing words that became suns and stars and galaxies. His voice made us able to believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No sound could be more precious. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the woodlands bare. In His temple all cry, “Glory!” […]

I am convinced […]
Jacob could not be blessed with the change of his identity from Jacob (“Usurper”) to Israel (“Prince of God”) until his hip was displaced and he walked with a terrible limp. Saul was not useful to Jesus until he had been broken with blindness and then with humiliation by having to lean on the prayer of a follower of Jesus, […]
If our theologians had been spending less time trying to find Wesley or Calvin or Luther in the Scriptures, and more time trying to find in them the Light to see the Kingdom in the earth, more would be done by now of establishing the Kingdom. If we spend more time searching the Scriptures for Life and Light and revelation […]
The word “mediocre” came from a word that originally meant “halfway to the peak.” Mediocrity is tolerable if I am in junior high school. If it is time to graduate from high school, only being halfway up the mountain is bad. One of the words Jesus sent to one of the churches He spoke to through John (Revelation 3:14-21) is […]
“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where You’re going. How can we know the way?” Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you know Me, you will also know My Father. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.” (John 14:5-7 Holman […]
