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
Kingdom of God
The Golden Rule
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

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.

Have you ever asked Abba about His plans? A couple of years ago things looked rocky in every arena of life, so, I asked Him what He was planning.

Monday Manna – Ask Me
In January 2012, I asked the Lord, "What do I need to know right now Lord?" Moments later these words came: “Your God is too small. You have Me in a box of your making. You say, “With God nothing is impossible,” but, when you factor yourself into the equation, you limit me to your … Continue reading Monday Manna – Ask Me
