How Will You Spend the Last Days?
God is bringing the church to an appointment with change. Some of us are still in “take your ease, easy living Christianity” mode. Others already know Jesus as their very breath, their shield and buckler. Knowing Him less is as nothing and all of Christianity is going to get rid of the foolishness as we come under pressure. In 2 Timothy 3, Paul was writing to Timothy…
Numbering Our Days
The events that are going on around us and the demands on our time press us to choose between the material world we live in and the realities of eternal choices. God is bringing all of our hearts into a place of decision about what we want to do with Him. When we assign a number to our days we maintain a sense of where we are on the timeline and a motivation to hold to…
Shut in with God
God shut Noah in and provided all the protection he needed through the judgment that He brought on the land. God wants to shut us in to teach us that He’ll fight our battles for us, direct our lives, bring us peace in the midst of turmoil, safety in any storm. As we allow Him to teach us and transform us, we become His tabernacle and we can take Him wherever we go to…
The Prince of This World, Part 2
Continuing to look at the final discourse Jesus had with His disciples before His crucifixion, we learn about the power of the Comforter and the power of true spiritual morality in the life of a believer.

The Bible tells us in John 14:30 that the prince of this world had nothing in Jesus. As His people, we want the same to be true in our lives. We want to understand what spiritual morality really is and we want our lives to reflect it.
God’s Amnesty Plan
If we base our understanding of God’s promise to have a spotless bride on the knowledge of good and evil, we will end up forsaking His way of keeping that promise and set about to accomplish it in our own strength because it takes faith to believe that God can really conform us to His image on the earth. God’s salvation is about amnesty for the world, an indwelling Lord…
Frustrating Grace
No other religion is about a Creator God who comes to live within you to change the way you think. As Christians, we must be vigilant to keep our eyes in the right place – on God. If we gauge our walk with God by our ‘good’ works instead of by faith in Jesus, we make the same mistake the Galatian church made.
Jacob
In the final study of the three patriarchs, we come to a central concept of Christianity: “Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:3). God shows us, through Jacob’s life, that part of our walk when God most fully reveals Himself to us as the Lord and the Potter.
