Our Eyes on Jesus
4/23/12: The other day I was praying through some present situations in my life. I was feeling weary and I was losing heart over the situation, so I prayed for renewed strength.

He is Worthy

Praise the “I AM”
2/24/12: I have been reading in Revelation about the power and majesty of God, and of Jesus Christ, God the Son.

He made … Continue reading Praise the “I AM”

Believe Him
Sometimes in life we have questions for which we don’t have answers. Sometimes we pray and we can’t hear God speaking, i.e. he seems silent concerning our requests. And, so we cry out for him to hear us, even though we know he does, and for him to answer. Yet, he doesn’t always give us … Continue reading Believe Him
Return to Me
Even though we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are underneath the New Covenant relationship between God and his people – his church – it is still possible for us to sin, and for us to wander away from our pure devotion to Jesus Christ as our only Lord and Savior, and for us to have … Continue reading Return to Me
