“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (2Pe. 1:2 NAS) I like to give special attention to the blessings we find in scripture. In both of his epistles, the Apostle Peter prays for grace and peace to be multiplied to believers. The modern-day church hasContinue reading “Understanding Grace”

The Small Things
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:10) God has a special purpose for every human being. Not every purpose is “grand” from a human perspective, but to God, each one is important. Otherwise, why would He prepare theseContinue reading “The Small Things”
Little by Little
“And the Lord your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you.” (Deut. 7:22 NAS) Spiritual maturity is a process; we take possession of our souls “little by little”. This isContinue reading “Little by Little”
The Mystery of Lawlessness
“And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many, and because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” (Matt. 24:11,12 NAS) It is well known that one of the greatest challenges facing believers in the end times is deception, but are you aware of the second one? While deception increases, so willContinue reading “The Mystery of Lawlessness”
Communion With God
“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will make Our abode with him.” (Jn. 14:23 NASV) If you are like me, you hunger for fellowship with God. This aspect of my Christian walk improved dramatically when I chose toContinue reading “Communion With God”

My Healing Journey
“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. And after you have suffered for a littleContinue reading “My Healing Journey”
Is There no King?
“In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 17:6) When I read this statement, I do not immediately see how this could be wrong. We are all individually accountable to God for our actions. The context of this verse, however, refers to aContinue reading “Is There no King?”
The Gate of Heaven
“’How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!’” (Gen. 28:17) For the longest time, I did not understand the implications of the dream Jacob had about a ladder that stretched from the earth to heaven (Gen. 28:10-22). Even now I only understandContinue reading “The Gate of Heaven”
Mercy and Truth
“Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and esteem in the sight of God and man.” (Prov. 3:3,4) What value do you place on mercy and truth? Have you written them on the tablet of your heart? DoContinue reading “Mercy and Truth”
