Your Word Is A Lamp To My Feet

This Thing is from ME

2011-02-03T09:34:00.002-05:00

"This thing is from ME" (1 Kings 12:24)"Life's disappointments are veiled love's appointments." My child, I have a message for you today; let me whisper it in your ear, that it may gild with glory any storm clouds which may arise, and smooth the rough places upon which you may have to tread. It is short, only five words, but let them sink into your inmost soul; use them as a pillow upon which

Me - A Preacher?

2011-01-29T16:29:00.002-05:00

YES. Me. AND you too should be a preacher if you are not already one. The psalmist David exemplified that when he had a lengthy conversation with his soul. In verse 5, he firmly reminded his soul where his hope was to be. Read on: “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his

Journey Thru The Psalms ....Ps. 2

2010-04-22T17:18:00.001-04:00

THE first Psalm that is ascribed to King David and it is what is called a Messianic Psalm. While the people of Psalm 1 treasures God’s law it is quite a contrast in Psalm 2, the people has complete disregard for the law. Not much has changed from the days of David until now. Psalm 2 is referenced at least 15 times in the New Testament. Interestingly, the Jews wanted a king to rule over them

Two Men - Two Paths - Two Destinies

2010-04-19T11:01:00.003-04:00

DOESN'T it feel like oftentimes we are presented with 2 choices or 2 options and the path chosen usually leads us to a very specific destination? Recently, I read a book called “The Principle of the Path” and in it the author talks about how that principle works in our life whether we are aware of it or not. The aforementioned author makes the convincing argument there is a principle that

There’s something about the beginning of a new year. In reality, anything ‘new’ carries within it some excitement – something to discover. It’s about a: · Clean slate · Starting over · New page · New beginning · New resolution · Recommitment to broken resolutions Sadly, not long thereafter, it becomes business as usual. Personally, I tend to

How To Draw Away From God

2009-12-13T08:47:00.002-05:00

I started listening to LifeChurch.TV podcasts a few days ago. I must say since then I’ve listened to a number of sermons by Craig Groeschel and one of them was part of a series called Five Steps to wreck your life. In one of the messages, he outlines the necessary steps to draw away from God and if follows closely – mission will be accomplished. And they are: 1. You must neglect your time with

I Am Back!

It has been a long time since I wrote anything here on this blog. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and start writing again.Hopefully. With the coming new year, I hope to be more engaged in doing more of the things I love to do. I cannot quite believe that 2009 has only 21 days left and it will be go down in history. So much has happened and I am praying a whole lot more.

Perfect Love

2009-04-09T20:29:00.003-04:00

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 5:6-7 NIV Words cannot convey the meaning of these verses. I certainly don't deserve such

Destination – Bethany

"Mary brought in a pint of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She poured the perfume on Jesus' feet, and then she wipted his feet with her hair. And the sweet smell from the perfume filled the whole house" John 12:3 6 days before Jesus’ crucifixion, before he could cry out “It is finished” , he stopped by Simon the leper’s house along with his disciples and other invitees to eat. Many

Our Father

2009-03-18T07:14:00.001-04:00

Prayer begins with communicating with a God who, although you have never seen Him, is there - a God who “a rewarder of those who seek Him.” And what kind of a God is He? What is He called in Matthew 6:9? “Our Father.”Oh, Beloved, do you see it? You are not coming to some remote, untouchable, indifferent Sovereign. You are coming to a Father, a Father with children, a Father who loves, who cares,
