5/23/11: I was talking with the Lord about how quiet he was, and then the phrase, “a still small voice” came to mind. I remembered that God had spoken to Elijah in a “still small voice” or in a “gentle whisper” when Elijah was discouraged because of his powerful enemy who was coming against him, … Continue reading A Still Small Voice

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
Where is Jesus?
5/22/11: I was praying this afternoon, and I was thinking about the busyness of our lives and how we can get so busy with all of life's activities that Jesus often takes a back seat or is forgotten altogether from our lives. The Lord inspired me to write a song about all the things in … Continue reading Where is Jesus?
Who Believes?

In That Day
5/21/11: I read Isaiah 12 for my quiet time with the Lord this morning. I learned that “That Day” refers to both the Day of our Salvation (deliverance) and to the Day of Judgment when Jesus Christ comes to judge the earth and its inhabitants. Here we see Christ Jesus as the Savior and deliverer, … Continue reading In That Day

True love, thus, speaks the truth in love and does not use false flattery, nor does it willfully deceive. In fact, it hates what is evil, mainly because of how evil destroys lives, homes, families, communities, church congregations … Continue reading Love Must Be Genuine
For The One I Love
5/16/11: I was inspired by the passage I read for my quiet time this morning from Isaiah 5, which begins by Isaiah saying, "I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard..." I sensed the Lord had a song for me based off of that song, only about Jesus Christ and … Continue reading For The One I Love
Unless You Are Born Again
Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. When Nicodemus questioned how this could be done, Jesus answered him that people are born of the flesh when they are born from their mother’s wombs, but they must each also have a spiritual birth if they want … Continue reading Unless You Are Born Again
When You’re Lonely
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." ~ Luke 5:16 Jesus speaking: “If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees … Continue reading When You’re Lonely
Give Me Courage, Lord

As well, he wants us to question God’s sovereignty over our lives, his many promises to us, and his awesome … Continue reading Give Me Courage, Lord
