But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all -- love]. (1 Corinthians 12:31, Amplified) I think about this scripture often. [...]

In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart]. (Psalm 5:3, Amplified) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and [...]

I want to share something I read in a partner letter I recently received from Billy Brim Ministries. This passage is in reference to theologian Jonathan Edwards who stirred a revival in Northampton that was followed by the Great Awakening in the 1700′s. The power that accompanied Edward’s preaching was not the result of his [...]
Waiting

The Bible is full of some very deep concepts. Sometimes so deep that we miss them for years. We read them and think “I know that’s saying something important, but I’m not sure what”. So we kind of just read over them and wait for a time when the Holy Spirit begins to explain them [...]

The world is not a play-ground; it is a schoolroom. Life is not a holiday, but an education. (Henry Drummond, The Greatest Thing in the World, 1891) A friend recently reminded me of this quote from Henry Drummond’s sermon on First Corinthians chapter thirteen. I was thinking about this and it reminded me of an [...]
Walking with God

There is a man mentioned in the Bible that very little is said about in the scriptures. We get a glimpse here and there about him, but never a full picture of the man. I have found him most intriguing. It is Enoch. Second Timothy 3:16 tells us that “all scripture is given by inspiration of [...]

In my post from two days ago I shared on making time to spend with God. I do encourage people to set a time aside for God each day, a time to read His Word and pray, a time to sit on the Potter’s wheel and be changed. Especially if you find yourself doing this [...]

There’s a very special evangelist that comes to our church every so often. He has many signs, wonders and miracles, especially healings that accompany his services. (I’ve been an eyewitness to many of these services, including the healings). Throughout the service he merely speaks about the goodness of God from the scriptures and through testimonies [...]

I don’t have much time to blog today as I have to prepare for a class I’m teaching tonight, but I just wanted to quickly share some things beginning with John 7:38 (Amplified). He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost [...]
Praying in Love

Yesterday I wrote about the need to pray for the leaders of this nation regardless of who they were and whether we agree with them or not. The purpose for this praying was on behalf of all men, “so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy [...]
