“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2Cor. 10:4,5) This verse tells us that strongholds of the enemy are “thoughts”.

From Glory to Glory
We must maintain a focus of mercy.
The Mysteries of Man
“What is man that You think of him? Or the son of man that you are concerned about him? You have made him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor; You have put everything in subjection under his feet.” (Heb. 2:6-8 NAS). This scripture speaks ofContinue reading “The Mysteries of Man”
The Normal Christian Life
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (Jn. 1:4) After my retirement, my wife and I moved unto an acreage. A large part of the reason for this move was our understanding of the times we live in. We are preparing for more glorious and more difficult days ahead. AsContinue reading “The Normal Christian Life”
Restoration of the Church
“They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” (1Sam. 8:7). Even though this happened in the days of Samuel, there is a principle here that applies to believers today. Of course, we do not want to be guilty of rejecting the Lord as our King, butContinue reading “Restoration of the Church”

“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His Holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” (Ps.Continue reading “A Communion Meditation”
The Missing Step
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him…” (Col. 2:6). The way to live in the kingdom of God is the same as the way we enter it. We did this by responding to the preaching of the gospel with repentance and faith (Mark 1:14,15). It is not enough toContinue reading “The Missing Step”
Spiritual Understanding
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Prov. 2:6) Scripture tells us that if we want wisdom, we need only ask God for it in faith (Jas. 1:5,6). This verse in Proverbs tells us how God will answer our prayer. It comes from His mouth, that is His Word. WeContinue reading “Spiritual Understanding”
Our First Love
“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” (Rev. 2:4). What is it about our first love that makes it so important to the Lord? It is a love that has not yet been tested by the challenges of life, yet it is full of faith and hope. Even thoughContinue reading “Our First Love”
