Find Joy in the Toil of Life
“Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life […]
You Don’t Feel Love
I don’t feel like I feel love like love ought to feel. It bothers me and nags at me, but mostly it makes me sad. I think about it and why I feel the way […]
Heart of Peace
“Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.” (Psalm 25:17) A troubled heart is not from the Lord, but from the world and our fallen human nature. We should guard our hearts […]
Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment
It often seems that justice is denied, in crime, murder, tyranny, oppression in all corners of this fallen world. In America we boast of a hope where there is “Liberty and Justice for all”. Evil […]
A Term For God’s Work
I want to describe the work of God’s Holy Spirit upon His people who follow Him devoutly over a lifetime. There seem to be no words that accurately describe this state as those available are […]
Your Marked Seal
Every product has a trademark, brand, or seal certifying the nature of its contents. So too are people, first by God with respect to His Children. “And you also were included in Christ when you […]
Your Prayer Ministry
Any Believer can serve God and his fellow man through prayer ministry. This ministry is fully in the service of God and provided for in scripture. Moreover, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is provided […]
Stand Firm Against the Wicked
“Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one […]
The Spirit Led Congregation
I believe a change is coming to the body of Messiah. It’s a move toward God away from man; Spirit initiated rather than temporal. This enhanced Spiritual relationship will come with change from a physical […]
Death to Self
There are many means of death. Most of us experience a slow process that takes seventy or so years, where we gradually lose our skills, facilities, abilities, and eventually life functions. Others are cutoff in […]
Alone With Yeshua
The Lord is our shepherd, David knew this as a shepherd himself. He had times in quietness, solitude, where he had communion with God in praise and worship. It was these unrecorded private times that […]
A View of Death
I experienced a dream of dying which was filled with emotion and questioning. Each of us will face, whether consciously or not, a point where we breath our last breath. Breathing is an involuntary action, […]
Conversations on the Trail
My Son, his two daughters and I, went on a backpacking hike over the weekend. My ten year old granddaughter and I were discussing our salvation experiences and I mentioned that after I was baptized […]
The Perfect Judgment of God
“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain. From new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all […]
Reason Supporting Faith
I have observed often that mental reasoning and a reliance thereon can thwart our response in faith. The entire Humanist religion is founded in reason over faith. Even flimsy ideas like evolution must be continually […]
The Only Refuge
“Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea….” Yeshua was not afraid of death and was willing to be tortured and abused for […]
The Firm Unknown
Think of it this way, the sea is vast and filled with unseen currents that move like mighty rivers across the oceans depths. The winds swirl and move about raising the waves and driving across […]
One Promise to Hold
The Almighty God of all is loving, so much so that we are told He is love. In His unfathomable love He chooses to impart blessings and make promises to assure us of the good […]
Times of Refreshing
You can call on the Lord Yeshua now, nothing can stop you or separate you from God’s love in Yeshua Messiah. (Rom. 8:38-39). Exalt Him above all; in surrender cast yourself into His hands. Accept […]
Applicable History
Things seems really bad in America, but we should keep things in perspective. “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, but in the […]
Carrying Our Rocks
“In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. […]
Which One Are You
In the Bible we see many people who rejected Yeshua (Jesus’ Hebrew name). They usually had a reason, for example, some read the prophetic scriptures and concluded Yeshua was not the promised Messiah. They assumed […]
Efforts and Grace
I was reminded of several interrelated things today. First, I was sad that an irresistible swarm of cabbage leave worms attacked and consumed every leaf of Kale and Turnip greens in my garden. I have bees, […]
