A Life of Prayer

“You can’t patch up your prayer life when you get to the judgment seat” ~Leonard Ravenhill “You can delegate many things, but prayer is not one of them.” ~A.W. Tozer “Yesterdays praying will not suffice for today.” ~E. M. Bounds “This period we are in now is a dressing room for eternity, that...

Can Christians do Yoga?

I love running. Over the past year I have really enjoyed learning how to run, running and all the benefits that come with it. One thing that I noticed is that it’s a great way to get rid of anxious thoughts and other emotions of turmoil. When you run for an hour you get a lot of time to think through...

Another Gospel

“Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” I Corinthians 9:16 The above scripture reflects the heart of a man consumed or owned by the call of God that stems from the message and the reality of the gospel. The Apostle Paul’s...

Judge Rightly

(Is not some guy’s name) Jesus commanded men to judge rightly and He told them to “judge not.” Did the Lord contradict Himself? Or does the Bible say more about judging than the general public realizes? Jesus repeatedly taught men to judge rightly, insisting they “judge with righteous...

Joyful Trembling in the Presence of God’s Greatness

All things to all men?

What does that statement really mean? I hear it used a lot. Maybe you don’t. But I sure do. I don’t know if I will post this in two parts or just one post, depending on if I can be concise enough or if it merits exploring further in a few days. Have you ever noticed the glaring difference...

All It Takes Is One Fly…

At my last temp assignment, in a plastic mold injection factory, I noticed that there’s this material that gets used frequently, consisting of a type of plastic resin that is totally white, with only a few black pellets scattered throughout it. Yet, despite the high volume of white in this material,...

Jesus is our Example

Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so...
