Every Day Newness

It would not be a waste of time if every day you made certain to ask the Spirit to renew your mind. Finding a discipline of memorizing certain Scriptures, praying certain Scriptures, and offering your body and life as a living sacrifice can put you in a position and/or condition in which the Holy Spirit can make your mind new […]

Important and Invisible

How difficult it can make our lives when our Best Friend and our greatest enemy are both beyond being visible. I can rarely see the traps set to ruin my life. I can rarely see the Help Who is reaching out to save me. How wonderful that I can draw near to my God and find that He is even […]

Removing the Annoying

Who would guess that Jesus thinks on days it is best for His people not to remove other people from their lives? He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while people were sleeping, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. […]

For nothing is concealed that won’t be […]

Acts of the Apostles

The Pharisees had the Scriptures memorized. As Jesus said, however, they neither knew God nor His power. As Stanley Jones would say, just having the Bible without the Spirit to bring it to life is just the Word made words. Jesus is the Word made flesh.If a seeker of truth, reading the Scriptures in order to know God and His […]

Kingdom (has) Come

But some of them said, “He drives out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons!” And others, as a test, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven. Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will […]

Discipling Our Nation

And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus assigned them. And having seen Him they worshiped; but some doubted.

Therefore having gone, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the […]
