Next week I am starting a new series of posts about God's love. Love is such an elusive word. People love their cars, their favorite sports team, their pets or children. They love the newest Starbucks creation or the latest Apple iPhone—and oh, they love God. But, what does love look like--what is true love? … Continue reading An Invitation to Discover God’s Love

The Red Curtain
photo by Emerson Peters I went to church in a funk. Everything in me was screaming. “Guilty.” I had disappointed people by failing to follow through on promises. My heart was critical of another brother who I judged to be incompetent and I was judging myself a miserable Christian, at best. The worship started but consumed … Continue reading The Red Curtain
God’s Overwhelming Love -Video Teaching
All of us, no matter who we are, need a greater revelation of God's love for us. This is the first message I've ever preached that is 100% about God's love and nearly 99% of the message is taken from my personal journals where God has told me about what His love is. I shared … Continue reading God’s Overwhelming Love -Video Teaching
Remember, You are Loved – Video message
God has such surprises in store for all of us. One of the surprises He gave me was an opportunity to speak at a Women's Retreat here in California. It was called, "A Time to Remember."

A Love Letter from Abba
On this Valentine's Day, it seems appropriate to share one of Abba's love letters. While He spoke it to me, it is for every one of us.

Monday Manna – How He Loves Us
One morning, as I lifted my heart in praise to Him, He said, Come and sit here beside Me. Look out over My creation, the mountains and the sea that you love so much. See the colors of Spring, Summer, and Fall. The crystal snow. There isn’t anything in all of creation that I love more … Continue reading Monday Manna – How He Loves Us
Monday Manna – Where He Dwells
Back in November 2005, I was pondering this phrase, "He who dwells…." Psalm 91:1 Then He asked me, "Do you know where I dwell?" Isaiah 40 says that You sit above the circle of the earth—After seeing the movie Indescribable last night, that circle has shot out into infinity. I dwell in you. Lord, why … Continue reading Monday Manna – Where He Dwells
Monday Manna – Holiness Manifests in Response to His Love
Lord, show me something about Your holiness today. I want to see You as Holy! Holiness is more than dazzling light. Holiness is about separation—complete and utter separation from all sin and darkness. Sin cannot dwell in holiness. It’s impossible, Just as darkness cannot dwell in light. This is why I had to come to … Continue reading Monday Manna – Holiness Manifests in Response to His Love

Monday Manna-God’s Home, Your Heart
Lord, I want to see Your home. My home is in your heart. There is no place I’d rather be. Surely not Lord. Heaven is magnificent, out of this world, dazzling and beautiful. Yes, it is and you shall see it, but My home is in you. Oneness with My Bride, My children, means more … Continue reading Monday Manna-God’s Home, Your Heart
