The wisdom of silence

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-j4g6x-15b0b0c You can measure a man by his words.  After all, the bible tell us that the one who can bridle his tongue will be perfect.  Sometimes, the wisest words we can say are no words at all.  This is restraint that only the Holy Spirit can teach us.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-sk8b8-15a680d Each of us is in a race, and it should be our desire to finish and finish well. God sets the course, but we must do the running. Let us seek not only the ability to run but the discernment to see the course ahead because each has his own race.

Everything we really have

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-erszz-15911d4 Where do we hang our hope?  Who do we seek in our need?  What fuels us to face our days with purpose and honor?  What gives us our sustenance and support?  Is there not one place, one person to fulfill all these?  Do we not already have all we need in him and his…

An encouraging word

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-f8i5b-1585b02 Worldly encouragement is not the same as the encouragement we are to have for one another in the truth.  A kind word and a pat on the back is so much less than we should be able to offer the brethren.  We need a lot more from one another than that as we wage…

Hope for then is hope for now

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-k3un5-157ab6a We hope now for the promises which are to come, visions of his word which will become reality.  But we are not left merely to hope.  One day, we will have all we await.  Hope will be fulfilled, and we will hope no more.

Loaves, fish, and souls

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-nfhhc-156e896 This Christian life is about surrender, which will require that we give everything to God.  This expectation of generosity and willingness to let go should not make us nervous or bring thoughts of scarcity and need.  God’s abundance is revealed when we abundantly surrender all to him.

A calling unto death

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ut932-156370d Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews of their time certainly had their flaws.  Yet, God used them in a mighty way, and we are still talking about it today.  For them, the question was simple.  Would they be willing to face death individually and corporately in order to save their people from annihilation?  History shows…

A sad but beautiful refinement

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wfbtw-1558430 Before the return of Christ, a great apostasy will occur.  Unpleasant but necessary, this is a stage of the Church’s purification that we cannot ignore or dispel as some future event too removed in time from us.  The warning is there for all that great deception is ahead and that all are vulnerable.

More on the great delusion(s)

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-unpzm-154bed7 We have covered this general idea recently, but there is a specific delusion among us resulting from people’s desire to identify with anything other than God.  As the Church, I believe our job is to pray against the deception and wickedness which leads to God releasing this delusion.  He ultimately gives them what they…
