There is a remarkable thread woven through Scripture that is easy to miss on a casual reading. Certain events are not only connected by theme, but by timing. Across centuries, key moments in God’s redemptive work fall on the same days of the biblical calendar. When these are placed side by side, a pattern emerges…
The more I study God’s Word, the more I understand how much He loves me and seeks to have a relationship with me. Just realizing that, blows me away. The God who created the universe wants to have an intimate relationship with me! Even as I am amazed and astounded, I realize that, on my…
As we enter this holy week, I am filled with joy for the salvation that was bought for those who believe by the sacrifice of the cross. I am also saddened by the way our society has chosen to celebrate it. I used to embrace the fun side of Easter with the Easter bunny and…
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 I have been reflecting on this verse quite a bit lately. It is so practical and it is such a comforting and loving promise. However, I don’t always respond as if I really believe this and…

Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly…
Matthew 14:22-23 22 Immediately He [a]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24…

(Mark 4:19) This verse tells us three things that keep us from victory, from being fruitful. These are things that “choke” the word. The word even warns us…
We have all heard it . . . just follow your heart. What does God say about that? “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and…
