Growing Up

God deals with those He has given much grace. Our Father disciplines those He loves. God allows life changing incidents to humble us. We read the Bible for truth and put away childish fantasy. “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I REASONED like a child. When…

First Response

Reflections on God as I watch reels of fire. On January 10th, a fire broke in Los Angeles. A mystery explosion in Fort Worth, Texas power substation. Life goes on by those not affected. The monumental obvious is that God is shaking us to get our attention. New Years Eve, God’s three separate strikes of…

Without a Spot

The Holy Spirit disciplines us as He strikes the outward man like lightning. As soon as we are saved, the Holy Spirit begins to dole out what is needed to shatter our pride, our resistance, and our ways. God arranges external blows once, twice, or as many as it takes. All the events of our…

Color me Free

Before we were born, God marveled at His plan for us. It was His pleasure to make us all delightfully unique. Then He picks our parents and brushes us with a true color that just blends in beautifully with others. As the Artist of all that is, He paints us into backgrounds that cause us…

Clear View

Keeping it simple is not the way of humanity. We all overthink, hold onto the past, over stuff ourselves, get offended easily, and only forgive partially. When we voice words out of pain, it reveals that we need to confess our unforgiveness of others and ourselves. God’s view is very clear. Forgive others as you…

Attention Please

A grace filled call awakens mankind to look up and gaze at the most marvelous with JOY! Silently, the galaxy radiates, but too often, God gets placed in a familiar box as the world news dulls our hearing. It is too easy to lose sight of the big picture that God painted for us. Life…

Releasing Spirit

It is a sweet delight to live in submission. With a joy filled soul — that is absolutely smitten with the positve idea of being made NEW — such a surplus is available to all. ❤️ We are blessed to know that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Consider the layout of…

Faith Colored Sight

In a desert, Abraham was more than optimistic, he was fully convinced that whatever God spoke to him would come to pass. Abe believed even though he could not fathom being the father of many nations. Abe definitely saw through an amazing FAITH colored lens. In days of old Melchizedek is ‘king of righteousness,’and the king…

Final Self Exam

Our Father knows we are prone to doubt Him and lean on our experiences rather than ask for His help. As sheep, we wander off the path and away from our Shepherd. When He calls, do I know His voice and turn? Am I listening? Do I desire to live a life, daily, that calls…

Who sits on the Throne?

This ominous question can only be answered by the individual believer. Fear not! “His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted…
