DWELLING PLACE

"Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them upon the face of the earth." Amos 5:8 We know what could be said, I personally can never say it …

Walking The Path: Word to Conquer Condemnation

"And he shewed (showed) me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist (oppose) him.  And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord doth rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this the branch which was plucked out of the fire?   Now Joshua was …

Dash the Doubt: It is a Done Deal

When Jesus chose to come to earth through the womb of a humble virgin and chose a stable as the destination for his arrival and He chose a poor carpenter as His earthly step-father, it would be to the confusion and confounding of those who awaited the Messiah to be born in splendor, in the …

NOT JUST ANY PORT IN THE STORM

We're heading back to the spot just before Jesus lead Peter back into the boat. Last time, we discussed how Peter had battled through a dark tempestuous night out in the middle of the wide open sea, at a time when it was truly man versus nature, without any of the modern nautical equipment around today and at the …

“RESULTS NOT TYPICAL”

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the END of THAT mirth is heaviness (grief)." PROVERBS 14: 12,13 I just love the infomercials and TV ads that have someone giving a glowing product review, they are so happy, …

Funny Thing About Forgiveness

Dig this. Picture yourself in a hospital waiting patiently on a loved one to emerge from the ER, a person is brought in bloody and beaten and as they wait to be seen and being prompted by sympathy mingled with curiosity, you strike up a conversation, the person goes on to tell you the horrific story of what they …

Now I Lay Me Down

Very familiar children's prayer there, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen" Classic, many versions of it but still the same meaning. Even as children we are often painfully aware …

Bow Shot

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27 Pretty strong statement, one shot, one chance through this life. We go through life with our eyes focused so closely on the task at hand or the current crisis that we fail to see the big picture. We …

Ashes, sometimes all that is all that is left of what once was your life all that was held precious and dear, all that is left of what once was and most importantly what will be never again. Maybe you feel that way today, maybe you have wounds that are so deep, wounds that are …
