“The Light at the End of the Tunnel” The seven-year Tribulation, during which the church and Holy Spirit are absent from the earth, is so described. Tragically, it also accurately describes this present age. Those running the show, those in charge of today’s predominate culture seem to be always angry, always condemning others, constantly dredging …
December Reflections
“The Beginning of Forever” There is an almost cinematic feeling to this episode in which three strangers travel from a distant land to kneel before a new and foreign king. It is as if Jesus, while still in His mother’s womb, exerted some powerful force that drew the wise men to where He would be. …
November Reflections
“Dressing for the Guest of Honor” Today, instead of worshiping honestly and faithfully by means of the Holy Spirit, we demand honor and respect for ourselves, but fail to extend that same courtesy to our God. By our dress and our behavior we are to approach the Sunday worship service with one thought and purpose …
October Reflections
“In Season and Out” In the magnificent untidiness of the Christian walk, it is necessary to pause as the leaves of autumn transition to the cold of winter, to examine the grace just spent. God leads us through our days expecting us to pay attention: to listen, to observe, to learn. He expects us to …
September Reflections
“Thoughts from the Apocalypse” Then one terrible day you awake to skies filled with bizarre creatures released from the bowels of hell itself—horses that fly, or are they locusts with the faces of men? or scorpions with long, flowing hair? They cannot be defined, but fill the air like living pollution, darting here and there, …
August Reflections
There is no better illustration of fallen man’s condition and fate than the humble cicada. For those who do not know Christ, what is living, after all, except years of dwelling in the muck and mire of the earth—then you die. Except that in this, even the lowly cicada enjoys an advantage over the lost. …
July Reflections
More than just a reassuring comfort, His presence actually describes God to us. He has left His fingerprint on everything about us—not just so that we would know that He is there, but that we might come to understand who is there. It is God’s nature, His personality, His very essence that is there for …
June Reflections
An Excerpt: By the mysteries of the mind, the nearer I draw to Father God, the more everything else surrounding Him fades away, until at last, in the heady intimacy of His presence, it is just my God and me. My purpose is not to examine Him or to converse with Him. I am there …
May Reflections
An Excerpt: When the Godhead created man in its own image, it went far beyond a similarity of appearance. God experienced His life through His senses, and so He crafted man to experience life by the same means. More than that, He designed man to commune with his Maker through those same senses. PDF suitable …
April Reflections
An Excerpt: I couldn’t resolve the two. Here before me was the sublime home of my faith, the root of my heritage. Here Israel met with her God. Here—and only here—we sacrificed and paid homage to Him. All of this was conducted according to His precise instruction; it was He who created the method and …
