Questioning the Sanity of Humanity
God has a plan for our cultural sanity. The sanity of humanity is called into question daily. Maybe it is through our isolation and reemergence that we will begin to better understand God’s plan. Possibly, clearing our calendars and separating ourselves from others has the potential to open our eyes to look at life a…
Rushing to Taste
Much is being written and discussed on the airwaves these days about the fast pace of life we have grown accustomed to. Epic bestsellers like John Mark Comer’s “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” speak to our desperate need to slow down. I have no doubt that all of this rushing to accomplish everything on “our…
Save Joshua House
This week I did something I have never done before, and I am so glad I did. After hearing about the plans to close Joshua House on the news, I was livid. Having volunteered at Joshua House and seen first hand the results of the work accomplished there I was compelled to take action in…
A Lamp and a Light
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJ About a week ago, Psalm 119:105 was referenced in a sermon I heard, and several questions immediately came to mind that had never occurred to me before. Why does the psalmist refer to both a lamp and a…
Trusting Jesus on Mondays
“Trusting Jesus for eternity is easy. Why is trusting Him for Monday so hard?” Pastor Matt Rodin At our last Sunday morning service before the Christmas holiday, our teaching Pastor made this profound statement, followed by a profound question. I am not certain if it was meant to be profound, or just an entertaining quip,…
Is Holy Water Really Holy?
It all started with a popular song by We the Kingdom, Holy Water, playing on the radio. Someone asked the question, is holy water biblical? Good question! And so this post was birthed. I determined to learn all I could about “holy water” and share what I had learned. As usual, I started with a…
Order, Chaos, and Free Will
God created a perfect universe out of nothing. That the universe is perfect is undeniable, from the balance of nature here on earth to the rhythm and movement of the stars in the sky, it plays like a symphony without error, until we introduce ourselves into the equation.
Some Radical Thoughts on Holy Communion
I have attended and received Communion in churches of many denominations, and there is no shortage of opinions. Opinions about who is eligible to receive, opinions about whether it is a representation or miraculously becomes the actual body and blood of Christ when we partake, and opinions about how often one should receive the elements…. And guess what… I have a rather radical opinion of my own, but I will spring that on you a little later
Prophecy in the Ages of Silence
Have you ever heard the phrase “History is written by the victors.”? Revisionist history is a fact. The basis for it is at the root of our human condition. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone will go to great lengths to defend that opinion, and those in power, church or state, have the power to publish that opinion for posterity as fact. This was true in the ancient world and is true today, so we must look at history from a spiritual perspective if we hope to uncover the Truth that God wants us to see.
Reminiscence
I’ve lost my mind! This should have been posted early in January, but apparently I was asleep at the switch… or… maybe in love. But what I wanted to do was to offer something special for you to hold fast to as you begin this New Year. We are still in the first quarter, so…
