Ephesians 3:17-19
In the Old Testament, the word “humble” is used synonymously with subdue and bring low. So, the admonishment to humble yourself before YAHWEH means to bring yourself under permanent subjection to the authority of GOD to the degree that you disable any further resistance to His commands. In other words, will you totally submit yourself... Continue Reading →
Rebellion against GOD and truth is as the sin of witchcraft because in rebelling from the truth there is a will to craft a different reality based on the pride of self. That act is to say, you want to be your own god or creator. 1 Samuel 15:23 says, “For rebellion is as the... Continue Reading →
There is nothing like a good fire to help you pass winter’s test. Winter tests our faith with its bitter cold and overcast skies. The lifeless terrain of dormant plants, even on sunny days, create a boring canvas of brown in many shades. Cloudy days can cast everything monochrome, just grays and blacks. There are...

Your smallest prayer is greater than your biggest problem. Goliath seemed like a big problem, but one smooth stone from the brook ended him. Our Father knows what we need even before we pray. The victory is in the communion. GOD is still saying, “Come unto me, and I will give you rest.” The hope... Continue Reading →

Ever since man was introduced to the knowledge of good and evil, he has been reasoning his way through life. While this is truly a reasonable way to go through life it is not the...

I was riding down the road the other day and I saw a billboard that read, “After you die, you go to meet GOD,” then it was followed by a 1-800 number. My guess is that it was an evangelistic effort to encourage people to live differently today. While the intent is good, it falls... Continue Reading →
The Lord has given us many narratives in which to frame His magnanimous love for us. We have been given the narrative of a Father seeking to restore His family which has rejected Him, a Shepherd faithfully tending His wayward flock, the loving hands of a Great Potter restoring broken vessels to glory, a perfect...

The Lord commands us to love Him with all of our heart, mind, and strength. In other words, with everything we have. To many people this command doesn’t sound reasonable, or it can seem a bit excessive. However, when you consider that YAHWEH is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can you really love...
