How To Meditate — Understanding This Lost Biblical Artform

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but...

God’s Jealous Love — Understanding His Judgments

Have you ever wondered about the apparent contradiction between the “vengeful” God of the Old Testament and the gracious, loving Lord of the New Testament? Have you struggled to reconcile God’s holy anger with His boundless love? These are issues that many have wrestled with for ages. God’s...

What Are You Saying?

I’ve decided to go in a certain direction with my entries on this site for a little while. This will be the first of around 6-8 posts, based on a series of personal blog entries I posted in the Spring of 2007 while living in Holland.  I had been putting something into practice in my personal life, and...

Searching For Treasure

The mystery of God is a treasure, waiting to be revealed. It is the discovery that changes people’s lives. The treasure is the gold, the silver, and the precious stones that are hidden beneath the surface; it is the taste of the fruit spawn from the tree of life.

Father To The Fatherless

One day, an Australian seminary student met a teenager living on the streets of Melbourne and struck up a conversation. As he tried to share the Gospel, the boy asked pointedly, “What is God like?” What a loaded question! The seminary student had one chance to share the Good News and felt pressured to...

The Pots & Pans of Zion

“In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, ‘HOLY TO THE LORD.’ And the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and...
