Hear His Voice
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, - Hebrews 3:7-8 Oh boy - here we go. We’re sneaking up on big warning number 2. But before we look at the [...]
The Clothes We Wear – (from Ben’s journal)
Psalm 93 begins with a fashion review. The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. - Psalm 93:1 The Lord is sporting some great looks. Majesty and strength look great on Him, don’t you think? [...]
Zion, City Of Our God
Good morning friends. I’ve been out of communication for a while. Not intentional, just life taking a turn away from the opportunity to write. All is well here. We are hunkered down here, and glad to have the covering of Psalm 91 sheltering us as we settle in through these rare times. Today, my reading [...]

I Don’t Even Know The Man!
Today, I have a brand new Encounter with Jesus - hot off the press. I've been thinking a lot lately about the trail of our faith. Each of us face a day when things just don't make sense. God's promises don't seem to be true. The word is not "working" the way you think it [...]
Truth
A little tidbit from the Word this morning. Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. - 1 John 3:18 Notice in this verse the contrast between words and truth. Not all words are truth, and truth is not simply words. It’s not even just true words. [...]
Massacre in Bethlehem
On Christmas Eve, we looked at the wise men. When they didn't report back to Herod in short order, Herod went into full mad-man mode. This one isn't in the book. Maybe next time. A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED, [...]
