A Bit Peckish
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” ~ Romans 7:18 I raise chickens and ducks. I feed them well, give them good shelter, and — if I’m being honest…
Its That Time
Preparing to mow = Preparing to evangelize (2 Timothy 4:5). Before you mow the yard, you must get up the sticks, rocks, toys, debris, etc. (Galations 5:7). You do all these things before the act of mowing begins. Before you evangelize, you must have the correct doctrine and Gospel by walking through the Word and…
Sufficient for the “In-Between”
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 We often pray for “Deliverance” (the removal of the thorn), but in this Dispensation of Grace, God offers us something more profound: “Sufficiency” (strength through the thorn). There is a unique pressure…
The Word is Not Bound
“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.” ~ 2 Timothy 2:9 In our walk of grace, we often encounter seasons that feel like a “shutdown.” Perhaps it’s a health crisis, a relational fracture, or a situation where your hands are tied, and you…
Ukulele Christians
Christianity and the walk thereof, are often acquitted to a music rendition. The Body, yes, must be in harmony. Yes, there should be different instruments (Romans 12:4-5). But does what instrument you embody really matter? I think so. For instance, I play the ukulele. A little bit of guitar, but I prefer the uke. Reason…
One Bad Decision
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” ~ Romans 5:12 On April 25, 1986, engineers at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukrainian SSR made a decision that seemed reasonable at the time. They wanted…
Unexpected Interruptions, Divine Appointments
A message for when a church meeting was interrupted. “And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.” ~ Acts 27:39 Going into the weekend, you probably woke up with…
Joy is Defiant
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will…
An Unexpected Gift
Picture Christmas morning. As a matter of fact. Picture yourself as a child on Christmas morning. This will add a sense of wonder. You spot a beautifully wrapped box under the tree with your name on it. The wrapping is exquisite, and clearly someone spent time making this special. The size and weight suggest something…
The Basket Case
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross” ~ Colossians 2:14 In 1844, a young German scholar named Constantine Tischendorf visited St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai desert. When in the library, he noticed a basket…
