Being Intentional at Being One
Posted on August 26, 2017 Leave a Comment
One thing I know for sure: there is an enemy who hates the unity of the body of Christ. This reality would become a struggle in the Church Age and Jesus knew it, so in His final hours of ministry in the earth, He actually knelt in prayer and asked the Father that we would […]
When Faith is Tested
Posted on April 20, 2017 Leave a Comment
Faith apart from the Holy Spirit’s empowerment is wishful thinking. How often do we profess belief in God, but we rely more on the judgment of man? Think on it this way: when the disciples faced the fear of dying at sea and awakened Jesus, did they all consult a meteorologist to determine if they […]

Reading Nehemiah 6 I discover the enemy’s tactics fully exposed. When he sees you in the will of God, he brings on an assault of relentless attempts to distract and intimidate you.

When you were a kid, did you build forts? Maybe you had a treehouse or a playhouse that you enjoyed with friends. My friends and I played in the woods and positioned broken tree limbs to form “walls” for our house. What is it about a home-like structure that infatuates us as children? While in […]

My assignment in Scripture interpretation and application brought me to an Old Testament passage that I can’t seem to shake off. I want to go on to the next lesson, but I know it is best to stay and meditate a while. These words written thousands of years ago resonate in my heart today. The […]
