“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Gal. 5:16 KJV)
Walk in the Spirit. The Lord has been putting this on my heart lately, and I have a desire to learn from Him more of what this means, and to see it as a [...]

After God’s own heart

David was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). Even in the midst of his failures, he would repent and turn back to the Lord, for he desired to do the will of God. Let us have this attitude as well, to keep pursuing after God’s heart, to desire to do His [...]
Remembering

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S. This day was originally set aside after the civil war, and now is a day to remember all the men and women who have died in service to America. It is good and right to remember those who gave their lives in the name of freedom.
And [...]
Back to the word

We live in the midst of amazing times. This is true in and out of the church, and “amazing” doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we need to make sure that we are always going “back to the word”, the word of God, the Bible.
When Paul came to [...]

James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (ESV)
I was reminded by the Lord of this the other day. It came after a time where I had a disagreement with someone, and the Lord spoke to my heart about the problem being the fact that we simply don’t [...]
Building a marriage

It is late Sunday where I am at, and we had the blessing of seeing our son married to his sweetheart today. He mentioned to me at one point today how my wife and I had set a good example for him. That was nice to hear, but I am humbled by it. [...]
In the busyness of life

I have a busy weekend coming up, but with that in mind, I need to remember what Jesus had the disciples do in the midst of busyness. He had them get away to rest.
Mark 6:30-32: “The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he [...]
A Praying Mom

As I consider that tomorrow is Mother’s Day, I think of an event from my past.
It has been quite a few years now since the Lord got a hold of my life when I was a young man going the wrong way. I happened to have been reading an inscription on the back of [...]
The beauty of the Lord

It is a lovely day outside at our home this morning. The sun is shining down its warmth and brilliance. It is the kind of day that lifts one up and brings joy to the heart.
It is the kind of day that should turn our attention to the Lord. For every day, [...]
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117:
“1 Praise the LORD, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!
2For great is his steadfast love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD!” (ESV)
This is the shortest psalm, only 2 verses. But what a great encouragement to praise the Lord! He is worthy of all our praise for who [...]
