The Lord’s Protection
on March 11th, 2024
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. (Psalm 34:7) In the world we live in, we might be afraid of many things. We could worry about a million different circumstances and possibilities. However, I want to counter the worries you might be facing with some encouragement. You are invincible until God is through with you on this planet. Let me say that again, to... Read More

Experiencing Christ’s Fullness
on March 10th, 2024
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) As Christians, we want to experience Christ’s fullness in its totality. In other words, we want to experience all that a relationship with the Lord has to offer. How do we do that? How do we receive the fullness of Christ? The ... Read More

The Fullness of Jesus
on March 9th, 2024
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. (John 1:16) Let’s take a closer look at the meaning behind John’s words. The word “fullness” actually means, “that which fills.” Therefore, Christ is the well from which we draw. Everything comes from Him. There is more than enough of Him for each of His followers, so much so that He is overflowing into our national a... Read More

Born Again
on March 8th, 2024
Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.” (John 3:5) This conversation in John Chapter 3 is between Jesus and a Jewish Sanhedrin member, Nicodemus, who came to Jesus during the evening hours. Jesus quickly directs the discussion to conversion. He tells Nicodemus that he must have a conversion experience likened unto ... Read More

Falling at Jesus’ Feet
on March 7th, 2024
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.” (Revelation 1:17) This verse describes a personal encounter that John had with Jesus. When John saw Jesus, he fell at His feet like dead. It completely overpowered him. Think about that for a minute. Have you ever had an experience like that with the ... Read More

Do Angels Exist?
on March 6th, 2024
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14) Have you ever wondered if angels exist? Have you had an encounter with someone and wondered if that person was actually an angel? Because this issue is extremely subjective and experiential, many of us don’t talk about it. However, the Bible is not silent when it comes to addressing angels. The Wo... Read More

Faith and Understanding
on March 5th, 2024
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) We live in a culture where we highly value knowledge and intelligence. Like the saying goes, “Knowledge is power,” we think the more we know, the better off we will be. However... Read More

Changed by Christ
on March 4th, 2024
But it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I ha... Read More

My Confidence
on March 3rd, 2024
…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6) In the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico, on the sacred, sprawling grounds of a church conference center, I first read those words which the apostle Paul had penned. I was trying to determine what God wanted me to do next: Should I stay another six weeks and e... Read More

Money Can’t Buy Happiness
on March 2nd, 2024
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) Years ago, I went to Nicaragua on a mission trip. I had been there several times, but this trip happened to be fun and insightful. My first-born son, Jonathan, and I flew down there. We met up with our guide and our translator who took us through t... Read More

Admitting You Are Wrong
on March 1st, 2024
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6) When they are confronted, why do people have a difficult time admitting they are wrong? They did something wrong, but they refuse to take any responsibility for their actions. They don’t even want to talk about it. They invariably try to justify why they did it. At the core, the human s... Read More

Be Different
on February 29th, 2024
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. (1 Thessalonians 5:6-8) Jesus is coming again, and we need to be on guard. Paul wrote earlier in thi... Read More
