The Creator’s Life

"In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it" (Jn.1:4-5) I am not sure that the apostle Paul could be much clearer in Romans 1 about the relationship between the Creator and His...

What Do You Believe About Creation?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word" (John 1:1) When I approach Scripture, it is usually with the three W's in place: who is speaking, what is being said and why is it being said in this way. My framework is that all...

Upside Down

"They turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6) When you read such a statement, what goes through your mind? How does it make you feel? Does it create in you a longing to see this happen in your day? Maybe you would echo the words of the prophet, "O Lord, revive your...

The Grace Of Giving

We tend to like our acronyms because they are an easy way for us to remember truths laid out in a systematic way. For example, take ACTS as it relates to prayer. A - Adoration; C - Confession; T -Thanksgiving; S - Supplication. Another that many of us are familiar...

The Order Is Important

I remember attending a service in Toronto, by a noted teacher on signs and wonders. I am not of the persuasion that these ceased with the early church. I accept the statement of Jesus, in John 14:12, 'Whoever believes in Me, will also do the works that I do, and...

The Rich In Faith

 "How often is the poor man's cottage the palace of God" Have you ever been dirt poor, wondering where your next meal was going to come from? The words from the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," were your words because you couldn't see beyond the...

Plant Your Feet

"Most assuredly, I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do that one will do also; and greater works than these that one will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the...

The Beanbag Chair

"I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection" (Phil.3:10) Do you remember settling into your beanbag chair? These days it might be easier to get down, rather than back up but do you remember flopping yourself down and the beanbag seemed to almost wrap itself...

I Want To Know Him

"I want to know Him" (Phi.3:10) Do you remember being asked as a child, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The standard answers were usually a doctor/nurse, teacher, policeman, lawyer, or some role model from either a family member or TV personality. Yet as...

One Thing I Ask

"The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ear unto their requests." (I Peter 3:12) Have you ever had the experience, while worshipping God, of hearing another voice joining in as you praise? You recognize that voice. You look for that familiar face and then...
