“They don’t know how to cry,” I heard the Spirit whisper. Some of God’s people don’t know how to cry. Maybe that was one of the problems with the Laodicean church. (Revelation 3:14-22) Maybe a preoccupation with material wealth had quenched the Spirit which would have moved them to tears had they recognized their spiritually [...]

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory , glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth . We’ve all been there. Someone asks our opinion and we want to be truthful but we also don’t want to offend. The scenario is cliché on [...]

Okay, I am writing this knowing that I probably don’t have this whole idea completely understood (obviously)! I definitely haven’t perfected it and would love some dialog as to whether or not you think this is right, mainly because I don’t wanting to be teaching truth if it is not complete truth, that’s scary (James 3:1).

I have to admit that often I skim over the salutations of the epistles to get to the “meat”. But what precious nuggets are even in the greetings! What an appetizer we have here! Romans 1:1-4 A major doctrine of authentic* Christianity is that Jesus Christ was both human and divine, both man and God. [...]

Probably my favorite chapter of the entire bible (although there are so many!) is Matthew 7… The whole thing. I like it because it has deep wisdom put in a simple form; that is, the secret to happiness spelled out in an almost tangible form. It also shows that Jesus had a little bit of situational humor in [...]

Galatians 6:1 — Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual shoud restore him gently. Just a quick note on restoring… We should rebuke our brothers and sisters who are caught up in a sin. In our rebuking, though, we should restore. That means we are to strengthen, perfect, complete, and to [...]

Romans 5:12-14 is an interesting, but confusing passage. Paul is talking about sin and the law, and makes some confusing statements about what things were like before the Law of Moses was given. Then, later in Romans 7:7-25, he addresses some of these same issues, and provides more clarity. Sometime, I would like to really [...]

Psalm 19 seems to be written with three main sections. First, verses 1-6, we have a description of the creation of God. David is reminding us how God’s attributes are demonstrated through nature. Although we may not understand Him completely, we know that He is there as His voice “goes out into all the earth” [...]
