Lessons from “a Son of Man”
I recently read a commentary on Daniel’s Dream of the Four Beasts (Daniel 7:1-28) and was awestruck at the way the author described verse 13 as Daniel witnessing Christ being glorified by God in the presence of the heavenly multitude, five hundred and fifty some odd years before the sojourn of Jesus on the…
A Beautiful Thing Happened On the Way to the Benediction
Sometimes we are so caught up in worldly things that we just can’t see the beautiful thing God is doing in the midst of it. Today I witnessed one of these beautiful moments when everything came together with perfection only God can offer, but even in the midst of it, the enemy was doing his best to beat those being blessed down and cause them to miss their blessing.
The Measure of a Year
A huge storm hit home this week. Not only did Tropical Storm Debby reek havoc on our city, a storm of a different nature has also been blowing, wildly through my heart. This week we received news that close pastor friends of ours from Guanito, Cuba, Pastor Alexei and Pastora Iliancie, brought into the world, their first child. Much like the waters from the storm surged in to flood our streets, emotions of a year since my trip to Cuba have surged and seized my heart.
ACT! for America Founder Speaks Out!
If we hide our heads in the sand thinking “it could never happen in America”, we are deluding ourselves and our complacency will cause this land of opportunity to become a nation enslaved.
Resolving to Pursue a Clean Heart
The human condition is a reflection of the great fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. Ever since that ancient example was set, all of mankind has shared the same experience in life from birth to physical death, physically, mentally, and spiritually, we fall down, we get up.
What if God Answered? What Would He Say?
More than a prayer, it is a conversation with God that most of us should be having. I received an email from a friend yesterday and thought it was well worth sharing. This is in 2 parts, the prayer in the normal text color, and God’s responses in red. Our Father Who Art In Heaven.…
Out of Egypt
Whew! Apparently my speculation was well grounded, and not just something stuck in my brain from the narration of Cecil B. DeMille’s version of The Ten Commandments. I was still curious what the historians had to say on the subject and was able to find some great background material that puts the exodus out of Egypt in a historical perspective.
If God Is In Control, Why Do I Feel This Way?
God is in control… But for me, this weekend has been one of mixed feelings that I am sure many of you can relate to. I have had to remind myself over and over… God is in control! It seems my world was turned inside out by one event after another, and I can only…
That’s My King!
That’s My King presented by Dr. S.M. Lockridge I took a break from nestling and wrestling with the word in preparation for a new post, in hopes of acquiring a fresh perspective. This is what I found. Many thanks to Preston Ely whose website made me aware of this awesome video. That’s My King, AMEN.
Temptation
In the Gospel of Matthew 4:11, it ends there with angels coming to minister to a tired and hungry Jesus, but in the Gospel of Luke 4:13 it is not so final. “Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.” You see it wasn’t over for Jesus, and likewise we will ever be tempted in this earthly life.
