Why did God call out to Adam, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9) People hide because they do not want to be found. They have something that they do not want exposed. There is a tender spot. They are embarrassed and ashamed. “Where are you?” is a foundational question for our spiritual lives. We cannot go […]
1 Timothy 6: 12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of eternal life. Palm Sunday is the celebration of the Triumphal Entry, when Jesus came riding into Jerusalem with the praises of the people. They laid down their cloaks and cut branches from palms to pave His way. It was a glorious procession

We are coming to Resurrection Sunday. Jesus appeared to many after His resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:6 says He appeared to more than five hundred believers at one time. The experience of seeing someone who you saw die, and now alive would throw your senses into overload. Not a ghost or a phantom, but a person.

Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Take a second and reflect how many times you have said, or you have heard, “I am under attack of the enemy”, and compare those statements to the number of times we have heard, “I

I am going to veer a bit from my normal emphasis regarding believers and unbelievers. For many years I have encouraged relationships with unbelievers. How can we be witnesses if we do not communicate? Yet Paul wrote, 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be bound together [unequally yoked] with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and

Exodus 2 recounts a story of Moses’ mother putting Moses in a basket and placing him in the Nile River. The law at that time required all newborns of the Hebrews be thrown into the Nile. Moses’ mother hid him for as long as she could, then let him go. All parents need to learn

Paul’ life was amazing. Once he saw a light from heaven, was thrown to the ground, and heard the voice of Jesus (Acts 9). He also was caught up to heaven and heard words that are so powerful that man is not allowed to speak them (2 Corinthians 12). He spoke to kings, healed the
