Used By God

There is no true Christian that does not, in at least some way, want to be used by God. There was a time in history that God had a special relationship with the nation of Israel via judges. These were men – and a woman – who were used by God to help lead –Continue reading “Used By God”

Faith Untested

I recently heard a phrase that took me back. A pastor I met recently told me, “faith untested can’t be trusted.” This caused me to think about certain things in my life, and how God wants us to trust Him and how He will give us tests and trials to increase our trust in Him.Continue reading “Faith Untested”

Bible Trusts

The Bible is full of trust relationship. In the very first few chapters God makes man and trusts him to have dominion over the earth and all that was therein. God also gave the first man, Adam, a wife to cleave two. The word cleave implies a trusty relationship because it is to have andContinue reading “Bible Trusts”

A knifes edge

The term razor focus means that all the metal of the razer has been shaved away to an extremely fine point. All the burs have been buffed out and it has been whet on the left and on the right side of the blade until it has been made sharp. Ecclesiastes 10:10 10 If the ironContinue reading “A knifes edge”

A Jewel Factory

If you look up the word “virtue” in the dictionary you will undoubtedly get a definition that states that virtue is strength. The word comes from the Latin word vireo who’s primary meaning is strength. It would be improper to substitute the word strength for virtuous in many cases because virtue has a very specificContinue reading “A Jewel Factory”

Standing with God

We need Godly men and women who will take a stand against the things of this world. The music, television, games, books, and hobbies this world espouses are entirely against God’s word and have no place for the Christian, however many – if not most – refuse to take a stand against these things. ThisContinue reading “Standing with God”

The breath of God

This year,2024, I want my prayer life to go to the next level. No, I need it to. Lately my prayer life is just going through the motions. There is little power and there are few tears shed. When I read the following passage God stirred my heart to ask for his breath on myContinue reading “The breath of God”

Racing… for what?

Sometimes, life is almost like running a race. Waking up, rushing around, going to the things that have to be done that day. But what are we trying to achieve ultimately? What are we racing for? what is the point of the monotony? More precisely, what is the end goal of life? There is aContinue reading “Racing… for what?”

An alter call.

You may notice the title says an alter call, and not an altar call. If you are a church going person, you might be familiar with an altar call. This is when the preacher asks the listeners to come down to the altar and make some type of commitment. Let’s define the two terms: ThisContinue reading “An alter call.”

What do you desire?

What is the thing that your desire more than anything else? When hungry, what always sounds good? when you want a drink, what do you reach for? If you were stuck on desert island, what would you long for? That is precisely where David is when he penned the words of Psalm 63. He isContinue reading “What do you desire?”
