Deuteronomy 18:9-14 ESV

John 10:1-6 ESV
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own...
John 8:12 ESV
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Psalm 119:105-112 ESV
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to keep your righteous rules.
I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me...
1 Peter 2:1-3 ESV
So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation — if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
The Lord is having me to focus today on the...
Psalm 2:1-3 ESV
Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
“Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
Rev. 11:2...
I believe God has a specific message for the church in America today, as a practical application of the biblical truths found in this passage of scripture. Nonetheless, if you don’t live in America, still the biblical truths expressed here may apply to you, too, across the globe, if this fits...
Here I am, bringing my requests before You,
Believing You that You will answer.
For, there are many burdens on my heart
That I must now lay at Your feet.
Oh, how I long to see my loved ones saved from their sins,
When they forsake their idols and turn to the Living Water,
Which is the only...
Romans 13:1-5 ESV
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers...
I have sought the Lord concerning what he would have me teach with regard to this passage of scripture today, and so what I am relaying is what I believe he has laid upon my heart to share, and that it is very timely.

Tricked by masters
Duped by fools
Conned by artists
Using tools
They pull the wool
Over eyes
Always catch folks
By surprise
Clever crafters
Do their tricks
Searching victims
Them to prick
Be on your guard
Prayerfully
Trust in Your Lord
Patiently
Don’t be...
An Original Work / October 5, 2018
Based in part off Proverbs 27
Better is Love’s chastisement
From a friend,
Than to have your sins coddled
To no end.
Wisdom is seeing danger –
Flees from sin,
Trusting in your Redeemer,
Pure within.
Jesus is your salvation –
Freed from sin –
Giving you life...
Psalm 63:1-5 NASB
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My...
This morning, the Lord Jesus reminded me of a writing he gave me in January of this year, so I went back and read it (1). It is called “Resting in Him,” and it is written mostly from personal experience, although it is also written from the knowledge of what others have shared with me about...
It has been raining hard here for a week. It has been dark and dismal. I feel a head cold coming on, nose stopped up, and I have been struggling to stay awake throughout the day. I have had some dizziness during this time, too.
Yet, we are not flooded like many people are right now, who have...

When we don’t understand,
Trust His plan.
When life doesn’t make sense,
Trust His ways.
When things often confuse,
Trust His care.
When the answers don’t come,
Trust His grace.
When the myst’ries are there,
Say a prayer.
When bewilderment nods,
Overcome...

They’re Liars, deceivers
Who mimic believers,
Controlling the masses
Regardless of classes
Thievery, trickery,
They’re from the enemy
They’re always so charming
It is quite alarming
They’re not to be trusted
For they will get busted
Think they’re...
Isaiah 46:1-2 NASB
Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;
Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.
They stooped over, they have bowed down together;
They could not rescue the burden,
But have themselves gone...

Based off Psalm 42
Why downcast?
Why downcast is
My soul within me?
Put your hope in God.
For I will yet praise Him,
My Savior and my God.
My soul thirsts for God.
Where can I meet Him?
Why downcast?
Why downcast is
My soul within me?
Put your hope in...
Isaiah 48:1-6a NIV
“Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,
you who are called by the name of Israel
and come from the line of Judah,
you who take oaths in the name of the Lord
and invoke the God of Israel—
but not in truth or righteousness—
you who call yourselves citizens of...
