Muted Trumpet
10/14/11: I was reading in Ephesians 1 for my quiet time with the Lord this morning concerning every spiritual blessing we have in Christ Jesus.

Lord, Move Me
10/16/11: I have been reading in Ephesians for my quiet times with the Lord the past few days.

Your Life
Paul is giving us instructions from the Lord here on how to live holy lives unto God. We are to set our minds on Christ and on heavenly things, not on the things of this earth. We died, and our lives are now hidden in Christ. Christ is now our life, not just part of … Continue reading Your Life
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
