I’ve been stirred a lot lately about the notion of what genuine salvation is… True salvation is a spiritual transaction that results in the process of transformation. When we are saved, we become different. To many, salvation only means that we agree with a set of historical facts... and restructure our schedule to include church … Continue reading Salvation is a Spiritual Transaction…

Lord Jesus... Thank you for this new season and mantle. Thank you that you go with me and you go before me. Thank you that you have already seen where I am going, and know what I will encounter. Thank you for preparing a provision and a blessing for me there. As a result, I … Continue reading A Prayer for a New Season…

It seems that people in the visible church are grossly over informed while being noticeably under transformed. ____________ “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” So do we... ____________ Repetition in worship...

Are you a worshiper, or is it likely you have chosen to stand with contempt for those who do? “Then King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s household and everything he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went there and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom … Continue reading Worshiper or Contemptuous Observer?

Things I want to make priorities.... On my own, I can’t say that I have kept these things as high on the … Continue reading iPhone and Spiritual Encouragement

Is it possible that God may be up to more than is currently included in my spiritual paradigm? Am I willing to expand my focus to fully get in on what He is doing? __________ What if “the way we’ve always done it” represents an old wine skin that can’t contain new wine... We need … Continue reading If I Tweeted…

Over the past few years it seems to be more common for me to hear professing Christians use profane language. “Grace”, I suppose. Matthew 12:34 makes it clear...

There seems to be a big difference between believing that God “can” do something; and, “expecting” that He will. If I believe God “can” do a particular thing... but, in reality I don’t “expect” that He will, does that qualify as a sound position of faith? Likely not. In Matthew 9:29 the Passion Translation has … Continue reading Expectations

Today I’m purposing not to worship my preferred religious form, but rather... pressing in to worship the person of Jesus... Seeking to connect with what God is doing. Purposing to abide in Him.
