Whispers

God often speaks through the subtle inner movements of our minds, disguising divine guidance within the ordinary rhythms of our thoughts. Many believers go through seasons where God seems silent, yet in reality, He is speaking beneath the noise, through impressions, nudges, clarity, and sudden understanding. Many overlook this sacred pathway because they expect God’s…

Redemption’s Kiss

I will listen to what God the Lord says; He promises peace to His people, His faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly. Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs…

Simon and Garfunkel

In the 1960’s “The Sound of Silence” was written by Simon and Garfunkel and released in the midst of the hot mess of love gone wild. The lyrics are not about silence.

Hear Him

The second time the voice of God is recorded in Scripture was during the scene of the intentional transfiguration. God said “HEAR HIM.” To understand the significance of what Peter, John, and James saw, is to learn what Jesus fully accomplished. The Transfiguration reveals Jesus as the fulfillment of the law and prophets. Peter, James,…

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…

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.
