An Original Work / April 2, 2018
Lord, I yield myself to You.
Help me to walk in Your ways.
Show me how to follow truth.
Guide me throughout all my days.
Feelings come, and feelings go.
Help me be steadfast in love.
Teach me what You have for me –
Things not of earth, from above.
Many...
Condemned to Death
Matthew 20:17-19 NIV
Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will...
In Isaiah 49 we read a prophecy concerning Jesus Christ, our Lord and Messiah, our Savior. And yet, as his followers, we are his body, and he dwells within us in the person of the Holy Spirit. So, we are to carry on his ministry on this earth, to do the things he did, in his power within us...
We read in 2 Samuel 11 a story about King David, who was regarded as a man after God’s own heart. One day David lusted after a woman named Bathsheba. From his roof he saw her bathing, and so he inquired about her. He found out who she was, and that she was married to Uriah, one of his soldiers...

Based off Isaiah 53
Who has believed our message?
To whom has our Lord been revealed?
He had no beauty or majesty;
His looks, to none did appeal.
He was despised, rejected.
A man of much suff’ring and pain,
From whom people have hid their faces,
then looked...
An Original Work / March 22, 2018
Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness?
All around you seems then to be so much pain.
Sin has run amok within the walls of churches.
For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain.
Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain,
Making jokes about the sacred...
Be Strong
Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers...
An Original Work / March 20, 2018
Based off Job 38-42
When the things of this life
Do not go as planned,
Do we trust in our Lord?
Or trust then in man?
Are we tempted to fear
How things now will go?
Do we question our God
On things we should know?
Do we think that we know
Now better than God...
Pure Milk
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.
Another name for the gospel of Jesus...
An Original Work / March 18, 2018
When I think of You, Lord,
In the watches of the night,
I am filled with wonder
At the power of Your might.
All that lies before me,
All that You have planned for me,
Fills my life with purpose,
So my heart now sings with glee.
Each day in Your presence,
As...
In Green Pastures
Psalm 23:1-3 NASB
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Jesus Christ, God the Son, the second person of our...
The Things Above
Colossians 3:1-4 ESV
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in...
Peter and John were apostles of Jesus Christ. One day they healed a man who had been lame from birth. The man whom they healed was now walking and leaping and praising God.
The people who witnessed this were filled with wonder and amazement at what had just happened to the man. So, Peter spoke...
Rock of Our Salvation
Psalm 95:1-2 NIV
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
Jesus Christ, God the Son, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son and...
“The old cross would have no truck with the world. For Adam's proud flesh it meant the end of the journey” (1) A. W. Tozer
Destroy Them Totally
Deuteronomy 7:1-6 NIV
When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations… and when the...
Recalling Your Tears
2 Timothy 1:3-5 NIV
I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first...
I read Isaiah 25 for my quiet time with the Lord today. From this passage of scripture, the Lord has given me an illustration of how this is being lived out today in the church and in the world.
A nation of people, though certainly not every individual within that nation, is depicted here as...
For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual...
Wicked Lips
Proverbs 17:4, 11, 20 ESV
4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips,
and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion,
and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
20 A man of crooked heart does not discover good,
and one with a...
Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 5:11 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “When in the Stillness” playing in my mind. The words to this song, which the Lord Jesus gave me to write two years ago, have much significance in relation to the passage of scripture I read today, and to current and...
