Creation Knows Its King

The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Psalm 93:1  In the beginning God said, “Let there be…” and there was. Wonder still grips my soul at the thought of it. God—Father, Son, […]

Exposed…And Set Free!

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? Psalm 139:7 We spend a lot of time hiding. Who we truly are. What we really think. How we really feel. Our hiding began the moment seeds of sin embedded in man’s heart. Those seeds bore immediate, unwelcome fruit. Shame. […]

Does Anxiety Compel Your Work?

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 ESV There’s no getting around it. Scripture calls us to work. Heartily. Giving it all we’ve got. So sometimes we get a […]

It’s always been my very favorite time of year. Don’t get me wrong. If we’re talking about weather, summer wins. No question. Warm […]

The Greatest Thing You Could Do Today

Recently God showed me a glimpse into His wounded heart. While in prayer for the church, a picture of His bloodied Son nailed to the cross filled my mind. Then I saw the curtain torn that had separated man from God’s presence. And I began to weep, because I realized how few actually enter in. Beloved, Jesus […]

Have You Declined God’s Invitation?

The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. Exodus 20:21 Recently God opened my eyes to a beautiful truth tucked into Exodus 19. A single purpose has always marked God’s heart in His dealings with man. He expresses it in verse 4. “You yourselves have seen what I did to […]
