Dear Friends, “…..we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things [...]

One Day at a Time

Dear Friends, There is a passage in one of Jesus’ discourses with which most of us are very familiar. It is found in Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 6: “…Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on…..Which of you by [...]

“The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens. By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.” (Prov. 3:19,20) “My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain, My words arrive like morning dew, like a sprinkling rain on new grass, [...]
The Planting of the Lord

Dear Friends, Our Lord Jesus identified Himself with the prophecy of Isaiah (61): “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the [...]
Rooted and Grounded

Dear Friends, There is an interesting reference in Hosea where the Lord says, “I will be as the dew unto Israel. He shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.” (Hosea 14:5) Though said primarily of Israel, these words also describe the beginning of everything in the experience of God’s children. [...]
Some Better Thing

Dear Friends, In my last Letter, I recalled a number of examples of troubles and trials working together for good, the Valley of A’chor representing not only ‘trouble’ but also a ‘door of Hope.’ “And what shall I more say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of [...]
Door of Hope
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Achan, hope, trouble, Valley of A’chor on January 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Dear Friends, My attention has been drawn inexplicably to some references in the Scriptures to the Valley of A’chor. From what I can determine, it was a valley, or deep ravine, south of Jericho on the northern boundary of Judah. That would be just near the North-West coast of the Dead Sea. It was there [...]
Press Toward the Goal!

Dear Friends, New beginnings often inspire us to set new goals, make resolutions for a new year. We might resolve to spend more time in the Scriptures and in prayer; determine to lose some weight; do what is necessary to improve our health; spend more quality time with family and friends; take more steps to [...]
Emmanuel – God With Us
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Ascendancy, Christ Jesus, Emmanual, His purposes, human perspective, Incarnation on January 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Throughout this season when the birth of the Son of God has been celebrated around the world, by saints and sinners alike, I have been impressed more than ever by how profound an event was the Incarnation. It is beyond human comprehension that Almighty God, the Creator of the Universe, the Source and Cause of [...]

Dear Friends, Commit your way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” (Psa. 37:5) This very meaningful portion of Scripture is very familiar to most of us, probably having been memorized at one time or another. But a poem in one of our recent devotional readings made a [...]
