Another concept name to feast upon today…In speaking of the Kingdom of Heaven–the dwelling place of our Savior and the Father, He (Jesus) said, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MatthewContinue reading “Seeking God as a Treasure”

Refuge of Rock
Paul spoke of his limits–his humble human-ness–with great eloquence in Romans 7. Our desires, our hopes, our knowledge are limited–but Jesus Christ is not. When He is our focus, our desired destination, we live in His refuge. Enjoy the courage to live that comes with knowing Jesus by the Name of REFUGE! The LORD isContinue reading “Refuge of Rock”
Glory Glimpse: LIFE
Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me.” John 14:6 As LIFE, Jesus is the way we find God. From conception to the death bed, there is LIFE. Jesus Christ is life. Faith sees HIM in every detail of life. Oswald Chambers saysContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: LIFE”
Glory Glimpse: God as ALL
I share with you this AM not a specific name but a concept throughout Scripture and supported by many verses. The One true, triune God, is ALL–and all we need for a full, abundant life. Colossians 1:17 is a great place to begin thinking on this. “He existed before anything else, and he holds allContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: God as ALL”
Glory Glimpse: Banner leading to victory
Sometimes stating the obvious really does help. We see what we look at. If we spend our time looking at the things we stress over or hate–that is all we see! That does not lead to victorious living. Look to Jesus! After the Israelites defeated the Amalekites, Moses built an altar to Jehovah Nissi. The Lord,Continue reading “Glory Glimpse: Banner leading to victory”
Glory Glimpse: Hope
Hope is a life necessity. It is an anchor that holds us in storms–and a power that propels us forward. Paul, writing to Timothy, call Jesus our Hope (1 Timothy 1:1) and in Colossians, he reminds that our Hope of Glory is Christ dwelling within us.
Tools for Growth – Divine Reading of the Word
Faith in Jesus Christ is both simple and complex. Romans 10:9 is absolute truth: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Jesus Christ completed the work of salvation. Living a believing life is not always quiteContinue reading “Tools for Growth – Divine Reading of the Word”
My Song – full of joy
Christ was complex but not confused.
Glory Glimpse: Beginning and End. First and Last.
The eternality of God leaps forth from those names. Sometimes – far more often than we know, I suspect – we are confused about Truth and reality. We see something, assign a meaning or an interpretation, and try to struggle through what we have defined. These names encourage me to press through in confidence thatContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: Beginning and End. First and Last.”
Glory Glimpse: Our Inheritance
Now here is a convicting name…because the truth is everyone has things that don’t feel like ‘enough.’ That is an insult to God. Sometimes it is ourself we are dissatisfied with. We judge ourself not smart enough, not ambitious enough, not pretty enough. Other times we look at the world: our friends are not enough–eitherContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: Our Inheritance”
