April 18, 2019 Beyond Imagination Can you imagine the Son of God washing your feet of the dust you trod? Can you imagine Him breaking the bread a sign of His body to be broken instead? Can you imagine the cup that He poured filled to the brim with the... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Poetry Comments: 2
May 3, 2014 Finding Jesus in the Old Testament Any serious study of the Bible includes some basics of Bible prophecy. There are, of course, the prophecies that Jesus: would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), would be an heir to King David’s throne (2 Samuel...

November 11, 2012 That the Blind Might See My church is putting together an Advent devotional for this coming Advent season. I was asked to write two of the devotions for the booklet. I am really looking forward to seeing what the other contributors wrote. I always like reading through a devotional for... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...

April 1, 2012 Palm Sunday Thoughts Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. It is the day on which the people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus into the city riding on a donkey. They waved palm branches and laid their coats on the ground beneath His feet. “Blessed is the King... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...

September 24, 2011 What Are We Without God? I’m still working my way through Ezekiel. It’s a tough book to get through, even though I know that after all the dire prophecies against Israel and the surrounding nations, Ezekiel eventually tells of the future restoration of Israel. But there certainly are a lot... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Christian Living Comments: 7
September 7, 2011 To Be Despised by All but God I’m working my way through Ezekiel in the Old Testament, and before that I read Jeremiah. These are challenging books to read and to apply to our daily lives. Here and there is a nugget with direct – and easy – application, but I think...

April 24, 2011 Psalm 22 – The Rest of the Story For Easter, I thought it would be appropriate to post the rest of Psalm 22, the rest of the story. After the crucifixion, God did not turn His back on Jesus but listened to His cries for help. He was raised from the dead. As...

April 10, 2011 Psalm 22 – Prophecy of the Savior Psalm 22 holds so much prophecy regarding the crucifixion. Verse one is one of the things that Jesus said as He hung on the cross, as the Father looked away from our sin piled upon Him. Verses six through eight speak of the mocking that Jesus...

March 27, 2011 Psalm 41 – Blessing and Betrayal This is another Psalm that covers a lot of ground. It starts by noting the blessing of those who care for the poor and how God cares for those He loves. It moves on to a prayer for mercy. Then hidden in the middle is...
