    Revelation 21:21-23

    Revelation 21:21-23 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun...

    When Christ Receives

    When Christ receives us to himself, above green pastures and mountain elm, where snowbound peaks are specks, starlights, the Bride, prepared, bejeweled, shall shine. Her fervent hope, by Abba arranged, shall be fulfilled when trumpets blaze, and she is taken quicker than sight makes comprehend...

    Because Jesus is Risen

    Matthew 26:31-34 31 Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: " 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' 32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." 33 Peter replied, "Even if all...

    Ageless Generation

    I've always thought (and wondered about it, of course) that infants and toddlers will be given the glorified bodies of youths a little further on in years, say, at least of preteens, perhaps. Then those preteen and older when they die will "remain as they are", but again, in glorified bodies...

    Ageless Generation

    You know, the older I get, the more I think there's a sort of "ageless" generation that cuts across age groups. There are young folk with wisdom of the aged and childish older folk that just want to think in a kiddy-like fashion. Sure, the different groupings have good purposes, but I just...

    Therefore, Pure Heart

    From 1 Timothy 1:6-7 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. Sometimes, in tomes of seeking minds we find how far the erudite can stray from love, that life...

    Light Dispelling

    What is dark to us is not even dark to You, O Lord. That which is brightened by your Light ushers You in. Dark is dispelled from us. Your Presence--Light occupying the seized. Basking, here is the new creation you’ve made of your shining saints. Change undeniable! This knowledge...

    Things that are getting harder to do

    ...and "Hang Ten!" sure has more dramatic flair that "Give me five!"

    Things that are getting harder to do

    ...harder not to whistle when I'm in public. Whether I'm hiking around the neighborhood or in the mall, the sound of birds or a tune from a loudspeaker can put me in the mood. I attend an "expressive" church. Thankfully the music was loud and everyone was into worship. I started to...

    Things that are getting harder to do

    With you on that one! With all the prompts, I feel like I'm being taken through all those entryways we'd see at the beginning of the TV comedy, "Get Smart".

    Spirit-bail

    The Lord paid the Spirit-bail over my destiny,* to walk on, my soul set free! The old master, sin, wields no whip to make cower. Scars of the past are just that: a past hour. “Done left the plantation”, I have for some time. Each step within Jesus’ will recalls the sublime that New Jerusalem...

    Things that are getting harder to do

    It’s harder not to laugh at the pharmaceutical commercials that make it look chic and ecstatic to take their meds. Oh, then there’s the weird med names. Do they even use focus groups to select names? I wouldn’t name a pet after them. Oh brother, they’ll read this and start naming...

    Things that are getting harder to do

    There’s a big, state-of-the-art “Y” near me that feels like an old folks mall. I prefer the mixing of ages to (1) make me feel younger and (2) so I can give youngsters a hint that I can do more push-ups than they can—that they should do
