Mediating the past two weeks on God knowing me, I was given a fresh revelation of the depth that He knows me. The question was posed "How do you see yourself knowing that God created and shaped you as you are?" While I know that God made me, I rarely think about it as a... Continue Reading →
A second thought to me came about the Charity of Grace. Another argument I often give, when faced with the opportunity to share God's grace with others is that I don't know what they are going to use it for. If I give someone cash, they could use it to buy alcohol or drugs. Or... Continue Reading →

So when they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideally suited for their flocks and herds, they came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the other leaders of the community.

It is easy to have a sense of righteous indignation when you can't possibly be in that situation. ... Continue Reading →
My pastor has said “truth either offends or transforms you.” It is my experience that sometimes it is in the delivery of the truth that offense comes. When you go to people where they are, it is the living Word ablaze in your life that ministers to them. The Word must be planted deep inside... Continue Reading →
