A Key To Faithfulness

A quick thought from my time in the word. We have sinned like our fathers, We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly. Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.Psalm 106:6-7 NASB20 I see from this short [...]

High Priest of What?

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; - Hebrews 3:1 NASB20 Last time we took a very brief look at what the priests were called to do. It’s easy for us to take what we know from modern-day religion and read it [...]

High Priest

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; - Hebrews 3:1 NASB20  What is the role of a Priest, in general, and the High Priest in particular? In the Father’s plan for Israel, the priest was tasked with mediating between God and man. [...]

Delivered by Judgment

A quick ahh-ha moment from Another Red Letter Day. "Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the labors of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. - [...]

Revelation by the Strength of His Might

But as I meditate on this prayer from Paul the apostle, I find great comfort, hope, and confidence. I read – [...]

A Declaration for Opening God’s Word

I’ve mentioned this before, but a friend suggested I add to my Bible reading declaration. For years now, I have (almost always) declared these truths before I read scripture, and I have found it has revolutionized my communication with the Lord. My original prayer, for many years has been from Psalm 119:18. Open my eyes, [...]

Broken and Poured Out

The first thing we did in this new year was to share communion with our church family. What a wonderful time. We worshiped out the old year and welcomed the new as the body of Christ. As I was preparing to share the Lord's Supper with the family, this is what the Lord brought to [...]

Where Your Glory Dwells

Two short lessons from Psalm 26:8 this morning. O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. - Psalm 26:8 NASB Lesson one: I love to dwell in You, Lord. I love living in You. I love dwelling–abiding–in Christ. Simple and to the point. Lesson two: However, what [...]

Confessions of a “Staunchly Pro-Life Evangelical”

I’ve been listening to Phil Vischer’s podcast, the Holy Post from its inception. I think I picked up on in around episode 8 and caught up that next week. I have only missed a few of them over the years. I love the fun banter and enjoy the theological discussions. I don’t agree with them [...]
