It’s cooler today. I open the bedroom blinds. A leaden wall spreads thick across the west, looming with the promise of rain. When I go to the kitchen and turn to the east, the rising sun illumines gossamer pink whisps skirting north across blue skies. Lumbering behind them and slowly overtaking them is a bulbous … Continue reading The Artistry and Power of God

On the Way to Spring
We had a quiet Shabbat. Clouds paraded from south to north all morning. Just before noon, I looked up to see rain splattering and dripping, sliding down dusty windows. For weeks now storm clouds drifted past our Missouri home. In faraway places, they dumped mountains of snow and rivers of water. But here, dry has … Continue reading On the Way to Spring
Know God – Defeat the Enemy
I am jumping on to share my excitement. My latest book went on Amazon today. God told me it was time to put my Psalm 91 studies in book form. It is available for purchase in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. And here is a short blurb about it: The words David chose, and the … Continue reading Know God – Defeat the Enemy
Wine, Milk, and Humility – A Lesson in Hebrew
I’ve been digging into the Word lately to see what Jesus taught and how He lived humility. I came to Matthew 5 and discovered that humility is woven through these familiar scriptures from the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 I looked at this … Continue reading Wine, Milk, and Humility – A Lesson in Hebrew
The Saga of Sand Builders and Closing Remarks
Before we jump into the story of the sand builders, I want us to consider what Jesus was saying before He started talking about building. Looking back at verses 21-23 in Matthew 7, He declares who is in His Kingdom and who is not. First He says, Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall … Continue reading The Saga of Sand Builders and Closing Remarks
Build on the Rock
Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25 I love … Continue reading Build on the Rock
Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
I am taking the liberty to repost this blog from a few years ago. Even if you read it then, it is always good to take another look at Yeshua. We easily forget who He is and why He came. Yeshua wasn’t born on December 25th, but it is the day that the world traditionally … Continue reading Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
The Golden Rule
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 Jesus just got through telling those gathered on the mount to ask, seek, and knock until they received from God the things they needed to do His will. But He adds this instruction. He tells … Continue reading The Golden Rule
ASK – SEEK – KNOCK
After Jesus laid out the basics of how the Kingdom works and how to expect Holy Spirit to lead us, He offers keys to kingdom blessings that require our initiation. Let’s see what He has to say. Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be … Continue reading ASK – SEEK – KNOCK
Pigs and Pearls
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Matthew 7:6 Now here, Jesus gives some wonderful wisdom that we need to be applying today. Dogs and pigs are both considered unclean, unholy animals. The term … Continue reading Pigs and Pearls
