Lord, Move Me
10/16/11: I have been reading in Ephesians for my quiet times with the Lord the past few days. The main thing that is standing out to me from this reading is how Paul made such a point to remind the church of how they used to live when they followed the ways of this world … Continue reading Lord, Move Me
Servant of The Lord
We, as followers of Christ, have all been called to be his servants and witnesses in taking the gospel to the ends of the earth, in making disciples (of Christ) of all nations, and in teaching them to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ.

Seek the Lord
This passage from Isaiah 55 is an urgent call to come to or to return to the Lord and to be restored to a right relationship with God.

Search Me, O God
The Lord knows us because he made us. He knit us together in the wombs of our mothers. That means we were born into the families into which we were born, not by mistake, and not by coincidence, nor by an act of nature, but by divine appointment and the will of God. He purposed … Continue reading Search Me, O God
Your Heart
When I was inquiring of the Lord as to the lyrics to go with the tune he had given me, I was praying to the Lord, “Show me your heart, Lord. This is not about me. Show me your heart.” And, he did. Yet, he also showed me our hearts, too. Many people in this … Continue reading Your Heart
Hear My Voice
A Psalm of David: “The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?” When we receive Jesus Christ into our hearts and lives to be Savior and Lord of our lives, we should understand that he … Continue reading Hear My Voice
