Our Inheritance
LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup, you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6 In Scripture, we often see actual events, both natural and historical, that point to spiritual truths. In the Old Testament, […]
Truth Is
How many times have you heard someone say, “ The truth is….” It’s just something we say when we want to emphasize that what we are getting ready to say is the honest truth. The problem is that there are so many ideas, philosophies and religions that purport to be telling the truth. As Christians, […]
Looking Back – Copy
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced. I Chronicles 16:11-12 In this passage in I Chronicles, we are admonished to look to the Lord and His strength and to remember all that He has done. As we […]

God’s Grace Gifts
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; it if is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, […]
Living Water
Take a moment with me and close your eyes. Envision yourself floating down a river. I can visualize this easily as I am sitting beside a river as I write. Now think about floating down the river allowing the tide to pull you. I can envision that as well because I live on the coast […]
Taking Our Thoughts Captive
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we […]
