An Ancient Report

The scroll that was penned over 700 years before Jesus was born. God gave us an advance portrait of His plan of redemption. “Who has believed our report? A haunting question. “To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” The opening words of Isaiah 53 assume resistance before God’s message is even heard.…

Love is

In the Bible, love is described by God in a way that does not match the sentiments of this world. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 describes what Love is and although it is frequently quoted at weddings, it is the radiant splendor of God’s love in us that transforms, as it attracts others to us. People…

Rejoice Always

God’s command to “Rejoice Always” is bounced around in our reasoning mind. “But, I don’t FEEL like rejoicing.” God did NOT say, “Rejoice, only if you feel like it.” He said, “Rejoice always!” Happiness comes from the word happen. If my happenings don’t happen to happen the way I happen to want my happenings to…

A Mysterious Fog

The Church has Talent

The heart of Jesus is clearly highlighted in His sermon. The attitudes of a believers heart are found throughout the Word of God.

A GOOD YEAR!

God’s “NO!” is not rejection, but a loving intervention to protect your soul. John Wesley began in a state of desperation. His lukewarm faith compelled John to ask for the fire of Holy Spirit. He confessed that he had doctrine but no fruit, no life. He shares his battle to gain the fire of God.…

A Fervent Desire

The heart of Jesus was filled with overwhelming emotion. Our Savior held a fervent need to reveal truth to us. “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” Luke 22:15 His upcoming suffering and departure would take place before the end of this Passover Festival. The last hours of His…

See the Signs

“So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” 😱 Revelation 3:16 Do not continue to resist change, stiff necked, stubborn, unforgiving, prideful, bitter, and critical. Shall you justify your right to your ways as they are covered by grace? Certainly not! Romans 6:1 ❤️ Humble yourself…

A Divine Silence

God honors seekers like the wise men who took a long journey to follow a sign. He still calls, guides, and reveals Himself to those who seek Him.
