How shall we then live. These post relate to living the Christian life for all it’s worth.
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, [...]
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? [...]
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 [...]
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; - John 10:27 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly [...]

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; - Hebrews 3:1 Here, at the beginning of chapter 3 of Hebrews, we see the writer reminding us who we are in Christ. Though this letter is full of warnings, though it takes us by the shoulders [...]
He said, "Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him. - Matthew 9:24 What’s dead in your life today? Jesus walked into the house of a man whose daughter had just died. This is what He found. When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the [...]
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be [...]
