“Ye know not what ye ask:” - Jesus (Mark 10:38) I’ve asked some dumb questions before, none of which I care to recount on this blog, at least not for now. Perhaps you’ve found yourself in the same situation, or even on the other side as you realized that the questions your conversation partner were [...]

What’s to Fear?
Posted in Devotional Thoughts on January 2, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Matthew 8:26 “Are you afraid of meeting a bear?” Like anyone in new surroundings, the couple asking me this question was confused, unsure of themselves, and a little fearful. This was their first time in bona-fide wilderness, far from their city home in Miami, and [...]

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings… John 14:23-24a Christ is not being manipulative here, trying to use [...]

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. John 14:19 The exchanged life is a life of complete dependence, yet special privilege. As part of the world, I lived my own life. I chose my priorities, actions, and attitude. Whatever [...]

Preach Christ

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. II Corinthians 4:5 When you preach, be sure that people remember Christ. The illustrations have no value, except they promote the light of Christ. A dynamic style is meaningless unless it conveys the truth [...]
After Death Is Destroyed
Posted in Devotional Thoughts on September 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. I Corinthians 15:26 Death is always a point of separation, often permanent separation. There is at some point in my future a physical death (unless the Lord returns soon) which will be the permanent separation of my soul and spirit from my [...]
He That Judgeth Me is the Lord

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. I Corinthians 4:3-4 [...]
