On occasion believers and all the time non-believers question if God is ever present. Do people see the Spirit of the Lord or a liken image of Him? Just as Jesus visited the men on the road to Emmaus, (Luke 24:13-35) I boldly say yes He still makes Himself visible at the right time and…

It seems the subject of Giving is often accompanied by suggested guidelines, recommended percentages, and veiled apologies for bringing

it up, (along with the assumption that the associated organization’s

Giving must be down). As a ministry leader and director of a 501-C3, I

know that even mentioning Giving makes me uncomfortable! I have a

little different perspective as I write today. In 2 Corinthians…

I received this devotion in my email from proverbs 31. It is an important reminder to us that people are watching us.. All Glory to God in all that we say and do...

Lumping and Loving…

Saturday, September 4,…

I was just telling my brother David the other day that often - when I am searching for answers - I will open the Bible to a random page and start reading. I told David that sometimes I think this is the Lords way of speaking to me because I always seem to open the page to "exactly" what I need to hear right at that moment. Coincidence? That's what I suspected at first, but it has happened too often now. I no longer wonder - I am now sure that…

Sorrow and Joy. (drawn from 2 Corinthians 7.2-16)

An auburn-haired lad set out to make his way down the street to his grandmother’s house. He carried a little plastic boat in his hand, ready to set it afloat on the stream that flows along the back of her property.…

Music is a powerful form of expression. Not only does it communicate thoughts and ideas, but it also conveys emotions and feelings.

God made us to worship Him. Worship derives from the word worthship ... worthiness. Worship is attributing ultimate worth to something whether it's an object or a person or even an idea. It's not just making an objective judgement that one thing excels all others, it's actively desiring and seeking. Remember that anything we do…

In this book Gumbel tells the story of a woman that promised herself to read 1 Corinthians 13 everyday, in which Paul explains so beautifully what love and what the importance of love is.

Love

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I…

It may be me but spring seems to liven me up. Realizing that all day you have not used the log burner (which is, with the current price of wood a joy in itself), playing outside under the stars on my good old “stekkie” which is the Dutch word for a favorite little

spot, reading the Bible in the…

Those that know me a little better know that I am not particularly a fan of snow. When people talk about snow fun I usually start to glare as snow fun used is like a “contradictio in terminus” for me. But, we

ended up taking the boys to the snow. All the excuses could not rescue

me and in all fairness, I do not know a child that does not love snow.I

tried hard to escape the inevitable, tried every excuse in the book yet

to no avail. In hindsight I am glad, since I have to…
