Recently, I’ve been spending a good deal of time contemplating authority and submission to authority. Partly because my pastor has been doing a teaching that’s touched on it a number of times (last week’s message was awesome – it’s available Continue reading A Challenge to Submit (Genesis 16)
I have spent the last week rereading my journals at the Lord’s direction, which start in 1987 when I was 16. I’ve read in order up to within a few years ago (I’m still reading), and it’s been eye opening Continue reading Irrevocable Gifts/Callings (Romans 11:29)
I’ve been chewing on a verse since yesterday that has me pondering what my actions cause. The verse is Matthew 18:7 and I’ve bolded the part that has me thinking: Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it Continue reading Bringer of Temptations (Matthew 18:7)

I’ve been pondering the implications of 1 Kings 13 for several days now. There are portions of it I struggle with, which leave me with many questions, but there are some messages that are so clear I’d be remiss not Continue reading God’s Voice & Prophetic (1 Kings 13)
There have been questions kicking around in my head for several months and I’ve finally decided to blog some of these thoughts. This is still something I’m chewing on so feel free to share scripture and we can banter together Continue reading Is Torah for Today?
Hosea 2:6 is a favorite verse of mine because it demonstrates a principle of how God works: He will hinder our way to keep us from going the wrong way. Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns, and Continue reading Minding the Thorns (Leviticus 26)
I chuckled a bit when I felt the nudge to blog on Isaiah 31 because it, like my last post, is on not trusting in man. I was like, “Yes Lord, I see the theme!” Here is Isaiah 31:1, 3a Continue reading Woe: Trusting in Man (Isaiah 31:1, 3)
