“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints”- Psalm 116:15

‘Some day you will read in the papers that “…”, of “…”, is dead.  Don’t you believe a word of it!  At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now, I shall...

We’ve all heard the saying, “spring showers brings May flowers.”  I for one  am looking forward to those “May flowers!”   Spring is one of my favorite seasons - everything springs back to life!   For that life to spring back to “fruitfulness” it takes water and plenty of sun shine.  There are a lot of parallels between the natural (man and nature) and the spiritual.  Nothing...

Jesus, after His Resurrection, and before His ascension back to the Father told His disciples, “…to wait for the Promise of the Father” - the Holy Spirit.

God by His grace and mercy continues to work in us and through us by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  As we are obedient to His Word and the Holy Spirit we...

We just celebrated Easter - the resurrection of Jesus Christ!  Next on God’s prophetic timetable is Jesus’ return!  We don’t know when, only that He is coming again, because He told us so.  But in the meantime, He gave us His great commission to go into all the world and make disciples, to be His witnesses in our sphere of influence. He gave us the mandate to influence our culture, to be His light and the salt of the world.  But before we get too far ahead of ourselves we must...

“Happy Easter!”  The word Easter is only found in scripture one time, and only in the KJV (cf. Acts 12: 4b).  In other translations you will find the word Passover (greek - pascha), meaning “to pass over, to spare.”  The word Easter (eastre) means “to shine, to dawn, to spring forth.”   We cannot have Easter without Christ crucified, they go hand-in-hand!   Jesus Christ was humanities  pascha Lamb!   John the baptist proclaimed “Behold!  The Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world!” (John 1: 29b)  Jesus made atonement for our sins on the cross (“For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” -1 Cor.5: 7b).   But Jesus did not.......

“For I determined to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2: 2)   The street in Jerusalem which led to Jesus’ crucifixion was called Via Dolorosa, Latin meaning, “Way of grief,” “way of sorrow,” “way of suffering,” “painful way.”   Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane prayed,....

The bible says, “…Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.” (John 13: 1)   For each one of us, “our hour” is coming too, when we...

As Becky and I prepare for a week of vacation, for some “rest and renewal,” I ponder what (who) I am temporarily leaving behind.  Thoughts of...

How would you answer the question, “Are You Faithful?”   I guess another question would be, “Faithful to what?”  Webster defines faith as: belief without proof; confidence; reliance; belief in God; loyalty; fidelity to an agreement or promise.  Webster defines faithful as: loyal; exact; true.

The Greek word for faithful is ‘Pistos’ meaning, “Trustworthy.”

It is not so important that we can define Faithfulness, but that we demonstrate it and that we understand the object of our faithfulness!

In Revelation (3:7-13) Jesus writes...
