In response to what I'd have to describe as a person locked in on prospering materially as a Christian (although to be fair, spiritually as well), I pointed out 1 Timothy 6:8 (bolded here):
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is...
Some have speculated that communication in Heaven might well be via thought. However, there are enough biblical references to give credence to the expectation that verbal communications do now exist there and will in the future. Perhaps also some "thought-talk" will be there for the saints as...
Blessed Divine Love,
Greatest gift, bestowed in staggering simplicity:
For there was
A sentence over us, a Cross;
A Sacrifice, then doubt sealed by man;
A stone rolled, where, aside, Jesus posed;
A woman scurrying back
To utter the timeless “Risen!”;
Christ seen, listened to, observed in...
Lord, how deep your deep waters,
yet You started me shallow,
so I could burst upward
to confess and to follow!
And whether I look
up, at sides or down,
a cloud of witnesses
follows me now.
Spirit within!
Brethren about!
Angels that minister,
God’s creation surrounds!
No time to be lonely...
Father, truly You have loved us first!
How could Heaven’s love be understood or eruditely unearthed?
All that remains is for the heart to hear
Of Christ’s death for all, of Resurrection to assure.
This is favor-come, unsolicited,
“Election” by response elicited!
Yes, enticed if we treasure...
Acts 4:24,31 (NKJV)
24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all...
1 Kings 19:11-13 (NKJV-bold text mine)
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an...
Apart from sadness on this earth,
its misery and toil,
comes to us Jesus, Adonai,
with mystery mirth: Spirit seven-fold.
In eagerness our hearts frame songs,
lips intercede to say
in melody the truths of HaShem
Who gives Gentiles an Age to praise.
Come, sing you grafted-in ones
from every...
Iron sharpens iron.*
Brother, sister,
you can discount the effect of distances,
of misunderstanding’s grind against the mind.
Your walk, your talk,
the slightest glint in your countenance,
even the hurried expressions on paper, page—of internetted voices and faces
before you retire:
these add...
Matthew 18:20 (NKJV)
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them
Why the emphasis on “I am there”? Isn’t the Spirit of Jesus already resident in the individual believer? Yes, but two is the beginning of the vision of the Body of Christ on earth, its...
Divide asunder,^
so to my cares, Your Spirit-wonders
speak as the signposts I need for faith
to coax me to obedience,
by choice and conviction.
How You loved us first!^^
Continue Your work,
Jesus, Living Word!^^^

1 John 3:1-2 (KJV)
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath given unto us, that we should called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when he shall...
If we ask the children
about Bethlehem,
and signal them to tell us why
Christmas comes again.
If they’ve heard the Gospel
of Jesus’ love for them,
they will say “It’s running
to see what angels said!”^
They will see the Christchild
among travelled men,
be all the wiser for it,
about mercy come...
To ponder the Nativity is to enter into The Longing, in which a felicitation in our hearts of Jesus’ Incarnation turns to questions like “When , Oh Lord, will you come for your Bride?”—“Then, when will You and your Banqueting Table retinue of Heaven come to earth to commence the Millennial Reign...
Luke 2:13-15 (NLT)
13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other...
Titus 1:1-3 (NKJV--bold is mine)
Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect
and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life
which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, 3 but has in due...
Church, the Lord has given us a Spirit of certainty. We must avoid the fad of “hyper ragamuffinism”, this tendency that stresses lamentation above rejoicing (unsatisfied even in rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep), the overuse of self-examination and critique more...
Every moment of my being
is now pegged into Your eternity:
meaningful, enduring, grafted into Your legacy.
Mine is Yours, Yours is mine,
this life continual in the Vine.
Our years add up, the sum
dwarfed by Salvation history
rushing toward the Throne,
where the heavenly clock chimes
with the...
One often comes across the question, “Is Christianity true?”, which for some who ask is a loaded question, as if to say “Christianity is a product of Christians”.
Really though, it is Christ himself who taught Christ followers. Christians simply pass the truths along. Therefore, yes...
(I wrote this a week ago for some future use. Learning of the shootings in PA, I see it, unfortunately, as all too pertinent—but in Christ, there is a great consolation)
Men will just go on killing each other, with bullets, words, and negligent ways. History has taught us, we can’t get...
