Amazing love, how can it be, that you my King would die for me? I am remembering today the sacrifice of Jesus that makes is possible for ALL people to experience salvation and restoration to right relationship with God. Though we are all born in sin, there is a way out … there is one [...]

“Enlightened” and missing “the path” (Jeremiah 6:16)
Posted in Daily Devotions Comments on August 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The word of the Lord from Jeremiah was a call to turn back to the “Ancient Paths”. What do we know about “ancient”? Especially those of us with a distinctly western/modern mindset, our minds are not often drawn to the ancient places. We think 200 years is “ancient” and we base our lifestyle, our choices, [...]
Advising Jesus … (John 11:39)

Looking back through time, it is sort of comical to watch as Martha takes to advising Jesus on the “realities” of the situation. I realize that in the moment, it was simply the first thought that came to her mind, and I realize that her statement was factually true. Yet, it is an amazing picture [...]
Speaking of Walls … (John 9:34)

At New Life, we are calling this weekend, our “Weekend Without Walls”. The church is spending time outside of the physical walls of the Lucy Simms building (where we normally meet for Sunday Worship), and we are asking God to lead us into His places of ministry which He has prepared for us. While physical [...]
Oh man! Don’t mess with my Dad!! (Isaiah 49:25)

In a prophetic word concerning the restoration of Israel, Isaiah declares a truth that ought to make any child of God stand up and walk with boldness! Even when we are suffering “trials of many kinds”, even when we are experiencing the suffering that produces righteousness … whatever the difficulties we face, there is this [...]
Knowing our Faith is Genuine (1 Peter 1:6-9)

“Do I REALLY believe what I say I believe?” That question may tend to linger and remain unresolved for many Christians for many years. In 1 Peter, we’re told that there is a “proving ground” for our faith, and the proof is in the trials … How do we respond in times of trial? Are [...]
You want me to bless him??!! (James 3:9)

So I leave home a few days ago with much less “margin” than I needed. Actually, I was in the “negative margin” I needed to be at my appointment on time. Quickly to the end of the road … ready to turn onto a 55mph road … and there he came … meandering at about [...]
Through Faith … they were tortured, flogged, stoned, sawn in two … WHAT?

Generally, when we highlight the “Faith” chapter – Hebrews 11, we focus on all the great “heros of the faith” and how they accomplished so much for God. It’s not nearly as common to see Christians today acknowledge and embrace verses 35-38 as models of people living in faith. However, there they are … right [...]
Where is our hope based? (Hebrews 10:23)

Walk into a Christian book store and you will be inundated with options for improving our “Christian Faith”. At any given time, I tend to have three or four books in process of being read. Many, if not all of them have very good information about the Christian life. I wonder, however, if we sometimes [...]

Paying Attention when God Speaks

In Jeremiah this morning two verses struck me as I read of the account of Jehoiakim (King of Judah) burning the scroll which contained the prophetic Word of God for Judah and for Jerusalem. The first verse referring to the act of burning the scroll says this: Yet neither the king nor any of his [...]
