The Tree is Speaking

*** There is so much I would like to share with you.  Christmas Day is here (finally), and we celebrate that God has reached out to us through His Son.  Jesus is fully and completely like us, and yet He is fully God.  It was arranged for this Son to grow up and then die [...]

A Rose in the Snow

Merry Christmas, dear ones!  I can only hope, and also pray that Jesus will direct and keep you in His care.  I’m looking to a Christmas a thousand years from today, when He will bring us all together.  I think that we’ll all kick back, and we will try to remember Christmas, 2011.  We will [...]

Anxiety, the Common Coin of the Realm

“God the Father grant to me, All my daily needs.  Why should I not to Him flee, “When all the birds He feeds.” Claudius We wrestle with amazing issues, they oddly seem like certainties.  That is part of their strength.  Anxiety over our future, is a very difficult thing to separate from.  The dictionary has [...]

His Love, That Laments

    The LORD’s kindness never fails! If he had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed. 23The LORD can always be trusted to show mercy each morning. 24Deep in my heart I say, “The LORD is all I need; I can depend on him!” Lamentations 3:22-24, CEV “I can depend on him!”  There [...]

Take the Next Turn for Truth

 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32, King James Version (KJV)   This is one of those verses that seems like a cliché.  It has been sanded down and polished to the point where its beginning to lose its outrageousness and distinctiveness.  It still sounds noble though, [...]

Ramblings of the Broken

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”    — C.S. Lewis I think I am a creature of habit.  I honestly don’t think we have the power to steer our lives.  I rather think we choose our [...]

Discernment and Your Ministry

He begs God on behalf of a human as a person begs for his friend. Job 16:21, NCV I’ve been thinking about a class I had in Bible School.  The instructor made a comment that has stuck in my thinking for 25 years now.  I have used it countless times in ministry since. It has [...]
