Passionate Christianity-Going Beyond the Average

Passionate Christianity-Going Beyond the Average

Passionate Christianity.  What does that mean? Maybe it is going beyond the average Christian experience and passionately following the Lord Jesus Christ. I looked up the word strive in the dictionary and it said, to vie against difficluties, struggle in opposition, to contend. It is forcefully laying hold of it. The book of Hebrews tells us to be diligent lest we drift away. Strive to enter into that rest. Insisting. Pursuing. Taking. Striving. All action words. Pressing forward. Pursuing with…

Why Does Revival Tarry?

Why Does Revival Tarry?

We talk of “revival” but do we really want it? What do we expect when we pray for revival? Are we only saying that to make ourselves feel better? Maybe speaking about it and publicly agreeing to pray about it is no more than a spiritual pat on the back.  Maybe we see that as a means to live a victorious, fruitful Christian life. Will experiencing a revival in our church enable me to live victoriously?Is always looking for it…

Make Me a Worshiper

Make Me a Worshiper

Make me a true worshiper, O King of the Universe. Bring me to the place of awe.  Astonish me, O God. Overwhelm me with Your majesty and leave me speechless. I worship You for Your immeasurable love. O God, You are so God, so other than, so holy, so incomprehensible that I bow crushed by Your enormity, Your timelessness, Your eminence.  Silenced. For in Your Presence, what have I to say. My heart acknowledges Your sovereignty, Your superiority. I bow…

Elusive Joy

Elusive Joy

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.  John 15:11 NKJV We sing the song “The Joy of the Lord is my Strength”. Yet if asked, many would say they don’t have joy. I’ve been there. Have you?  Joy doesn’t come from experiences, relationships or things. It is very elusive. The more we want it the more it slips away from us until we become very unhappy….

Lonely For God

Lonely For God

O Lord, I  approach Your throne of mercy trusting only in the merit of Jesus.  But You ask me to come,so I come.  We listen to sermons, we read our Bible and try to be holy. We do our best to live right.  And yet… And yet we are lonely.  Lonely for You, our Creator.  We have earthly friends and family.  But there is a deeper need. A deeper emptiness.  Nothing and no one can fill that need except You. …

Are We Missing Something On Our Faith Journey?

Are We Missing Something On Our Faith Journey?

Could we be missing something, maybe a great experience in our walk of faith? We want to walk in His will. School graduates want to know God’s will for their lives. Many believers want to know they are daily walking in His will. But how to know? Dare I say,  do we need to know the big picture? Are we so fixated on discovering God’s will for our lives that we miss life? Are we so concerned about becoming all…

Sunday prayer

Dear subscriber, I seem to be having difficulty sending this Sunday prayer through as an email by itself. So I will post it here. I will try again Monday. Maybe the forms have changed and I need to learn something new. Have a blessed week.

Revival – The Life Span

Revival – The Life Span

Why does revival barely last one generation? Why don’t we reproduce sincere believers who carry this on? Who do we blame? What does it take to be a sincere believer, to remain that and to grow into maturity enough to reproduce like kind? Why does it die with the current generation? Have you thought about that? Could it be that “revival” isn’t real, transforming? Rather it is something to be enjoyed, but kept away from wounding our heart. Nothing is…

Are Circumstances in Control or Is God in Control?

Are Circumstances in Control or Is God in Control?

Our circumstances can be very troubling at times. I was chatting with a friend about this recently who is going through a difficult time. We try to control our circumstances to ensure a good outcome. We want the best for our family members or friends. That can put a lot of stress on us as well as those around us. Do we recognize God being in charge of our circumstances? Is He? If He is, then do we need to…

He Is Lord

He Is Lord

“He is Lord.” Do you know that chorus? I just want to share a quote with you from Myer Pearlman on page 150 in his book Knowing The Doctrines of the Bible published by Gospel Publishing House in 1937. In defining the word Lord he says, “the One who by His death has earned the place of sovereign in my heart, and whom I feel constrained to worship and serve with all my powers.” Something to ponder this week and…
