“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his...
When Our Wounds Are Healed
In Chapter Two—At the Foot of the Cross—we learned the importance of digging deep within us to pull out our entire root system of sin. Now we learn that, buried with our sins, there is also a root system of disordered tendencies, anxieties, and fears that are...
What's all the Worship About?
You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
Nehemiah 9:6
The...
This Year, Leave Diet Behind and Live!
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law...
Make Sure You’re Teaching the Truth
This writing will be more focused toward those believers in Jesus Christ who make it their goal and practice to share the message of the gospel of Christ with the people of the world. Some of you may already be aware of this, and some of you may not. But it...
This is a short passage of Scripture and yet it is filled with biblical truth. And the best way to understand what this is teaching is if we look at what these individual words mean:
Words Defined
Fear – anxiety, terror, dread, fright, be afraid of; an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief...

In the little village of Bethlehem,
There lay a Child one day,
And the sky was bright with a holy light
O'er the place where Jesus lay.
'Twas a humble birth-place, but O how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has...
This is a continuation of the lesson from Acts 26:12-20 in the devotion titled, “Turning from Darkness to Light.” Paul was under arrest and was serving time in prison for his testimony for Jesus Christ and for his testimony of his salvation from sin, i.e. for the sake of the gospel message. And...
Here is the next chapter for those that are interested in what happens next, but if you haven't read "Under the Influence", stop now and read that blog entry first. Here is the link: Under the Influence
I cut this following chapter short here as i need to work on it.
The Revolutionary...
Another chapter. I had a good chuckle reading this chapter again, but no joke, this was a grievous time in my life where i was looking to connect with others intent on following Jesus. Unfortunately, i kept coming across stuff like this, although i use symbolism.
And not that I'm perfect...
The apostle Paul, before he became Paul, was Saul who was a persecutor and a murderer of Christians. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees according to the strictest party of his religion. But now he was a believer in Christ, and an apostle of Christ in bringing the truth of the gospel to both Jew and...
“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
“’The Spirit of the Lord...
Hillariah told Jecharon that morning when they were up, "I had a vision, though Yahweh did not speak of anything to me. It seems to mean that there are some number of the creatures just like the Big Hairy that keep a community for them further on that way to the north, beyond where we would...
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets...
Isaiah 40:6-8 ESV
“A voice says, ‘Cry!’
And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower...
We were told to act in servitude to God and each other, not live our lives looking out for number one and what can be gained at the expense of others. That applies not only in home life but all the way up to global rule. One need only turn on their tv or smart phone to see the world does not...
Consider Ephesians 2:1. When the described in this verse happens, the inner or spirit man becomes alive in Christ. The curse of the Law is broken, freeing and empowering us to obey Christ.
Yet, It is being actively taught by some, “Obey your spirit man.”
Rather, we must obey Christ the...
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the...
