All We Like Sheep…

The sad reality captured in the words to that great hymn by Robert Robinson, written almost 300 years ago still ring true of us today: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above. The Word of GodContinue reading “All We Like Sheep…”

Like A Rock

One of the first things that is done when building a house is to dig down and put a permanent foundation. Christ relates this type of building to obeying the commandments of God. He wants us to have a permanent reference to build upon. Luke 6:46-49 KJV 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, andContinue reading “Like A Rock”

Quenched or Quickened?

Whose Favor Do We Seek?

A friend of mine has been going through a court case recently and certain motions were filed that he does not want to be approved. I was talking to him and as we talked, he was explaining how the judge would approve of this because of this reason, or he thought that this fact didContinue reading “Whose Favor Do We Seek?”

After perfection

If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly.
