Ask The Blind Man

3One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw … Continue reading Ask The Blind Man

The Lord Is…

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, … Continue reading The Lord Is…

Pleasing God

God is the Most High God. YHVH, the Ancient of Days. Too many times we want Him to please us, and we take it for granted that He is pleased with us. With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I … Continue reading Pleasing God

The Walking Dead, part 2

You might call them "spiritual zombies." (Although I, nor anyone I know, have never seen a 'zombie' like on tv.)

The Walking Dead

Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead

The third, feeling a leg, said an elephant is like a tree. Spiritual blindness also prevents people from seeing the … Continue reading Mercy and Judgment

Family

My wife went to Hobby Lobby the other day and came back with a 3-D poster for the wall. It says: LOVE THE PEOPLE GOD GAVE YOU BECAUSE ONE DAY HE'LL WANT THEM BACK. 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to … Continue reading Family

The Master’s Touch

Some people are like canvas, their lives taking shape as God paints His vision upon them. Some are like clay on the potters wheel, being molded by His loving hands into a vessel He can use for His Glory. Some are like wood, being carved into a glorious shape that He can use for His … Continue reading The Master’s Touch
