In a discussion about prayer, Jesus tells His disciples to be persistent by asking, seeking, and knocking at the door of heaven. Jesus declares that our heavenly Father is a good Father, and He will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him (Luke 11:13). Sadly, many Christians do not believe that . . .

“Then they will know that I am the Lord” rings out like a musical refrain throughout the book of Ezekiel. Sixty-five times God declares His intention that His people should know Him. He desires for them to love and worship and obey Him. He desires relationship. . .

Living on the mission field necessitated that Laura maintain a tight budget. Their monthly stipend paid for only the basic needs of her family. Three growing boys sure can eat a lot of groceries.

One month the rent check bounced, . . .

If you were to describe God with only one word that encompasses His whole character what would it be? Would you choose “faithful” or “true” or “love?”

By God’s authority, Moses’ staff turned the water of the Nile River into blood (Ex. 20). Moses is famous for performing many signs and wonders with the staff in his hand.

It took me months to be comfortable with trusting my book to an Australian Publishing company. Finally, I took a deep breath and pushed the “send” button. I sent them my manuscript and my money last week. . .

We have the advantage of hindsight when comparing Christ’s first coming to the seals that He opens in Revelation 5-8. However, for His second coming, we must rely on . . .

Today I am in Revelation eight where the Lamb of God broke the seventh seal and there was silence in heaven for half an hour. Then John saw seven angels . . .

At the beginning of 2020, I made some declarations from the Word of God over my life (see underlined portions below). This year definitely did NOT go as planned. So, I wanted to review those declarations . . .

This week we are celebrating Emmanuel – God with us. God came to earth in the form of a tiny baby, to save His people from their sins. And Jesus is coming again. . . .

Today I am considering the four horses and their riders that are released by the first four seals. Could each of these symbolize Christ Jesus at His first coming?
