Prayer Points (WE-110312)

Usually the PP that appear concern national concerns and the like, but this week more than any showed that it’s good to make some of the issues personal. Health I was not well at all this week. I suffered from flu like symptoms that affected my breathing, my sinuses, the heaviness of my chest, my […]

Prayer Points (WE-110305)

MTP02 – Treasure Above All Treasures

Yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

Thank God for February and Introducing March Thru Proverbs

What a month this February was. Historically these months are notorious for how quick they pass, so much so that I hardly count them as a month in themselves but just a pit-stop between winter and spring.

Jesus @ Gethsemane

Jesus Christ, Superstar. Typing those words, let alone saying them, immediately conjures up the song of the musical on which it’s based. Some have issues with its portrayal of the Messiah and some of those issues could very well be valid. For the time being, however, I’m asking you to consider this musical rendition of Jesus’ time […]

Insights From Matthew – Prepared, Productive and Passionate People

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. (Matthew 24:45, 46) According to some the end of the world is scheduled to take place […]
