Dealing With Defiling

God is interesting. Here He is, the Holy One, for whom the angels can only declare that aspect of His character. As such He is the truest and greatest expression of purity in the universe. He abhors anything that is unlike Him in His holiness. What does He do?  Sends the Lamb without blemish and […]

At Work For Him

The majority of my time awake in a week is not spent with my family. The majority of my time awake in a week is not spent in church. The majority of my time awake in a week is spent at work. I make a profession of faith to follow Jesus and follow His lead […]

We Are On Holy Ground

Holy Ground: The Narrow View It is amazing how some of us read our Bibles and come to interesting conclusions that effectively miss the point. Take the church building. I understand some people see this physical structure as something of great importance.  Indeed some refer to the space used for the main services as the […]

For Our Freedom

It’s an interesting time of year. Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]

You Have A Pair Of Ears

This post acts as a complimentary piece to one I wrote earlier stating that You Have A Voice. One of the things I enjoy about the gathering I frequent is that because there is no ‘official’ leader our times together are marked by as many members contributing as possible. This is not the norm for […]

You Have A Voice

Not long ago I had the pleasure of exploring the book of Acts with some good folks. It’s one thing to read something on your own, it’s a lot of fun to open things up for others to share. Now the clue is in the name of the book. Acts suggests it’s about things people […]
