Darkness held us hostage until love broke through. We were shadowed from the radiance of God’s glory. This is Hell’s way. It operates in subtlety. It turns on its fog machine. It surrounds us with haze, a real type of spiritual pollution that hangs in the air around us. Confusion...

“… Walk in manner worthy of the calling to which to you been called …” (Ephesians 4:1). One is the only-iest number according to the Word of God, especially in Chapter 4 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Sorry for the ancient Three Dog Night pop culture reference there at...

Eternity – it’s what we are made for.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us this. Our hearts have something about them that craves mystery and understanding. God did make us to live in time. Actually, this same verse in Ecclesiastes tells that He makes all things beautiful in their time. Our days...

“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6) “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make...

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. …” (Ephesians 5:19). “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God” (Psalm 43:5). Part of being a...
