READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Intellect wants to receive glory, to be the God it denies. So intellect is a spiritual battle between unregenerate humanity and God, leaving God out of the equation. Whisper, wonder, and wind – perhaps akin. Wisdom is both knowledge and discernment – the exercise of judgment – as opposed to folly, yet there is wisdom in…
At dawn’s early light, the Lord awakens me. He whispers, I write… “I heard your prayer and I saw your tears,” said the Lord. “Your voice has entered my Throne Room, even into my ears.” The Lord has given me His ears that I might hear the Songs of Eternity, the Chorus of Creation, the Music of Heavenly Hosts, the…
As I drove the final miles toward home, the breeze through the car window was pleasant and warm. “There’s no place like home,” I thought, nothing like opening the front door after time away, like sitting around the kitchen table and a cool drink or a hot meal with family or friends. There is nothing like a loving smile and…
Communion with God is creation in all its forms The dawning of light from darkness fills the morn The warming sun awakens the little flowers Rivers rise, time stills, in rainbow showers The sea like silver bares its bosom to the moon The desert floors are busy until high noon The wild bees buzzing on their daily chases Trees sing…
I concur with Chuck Colson and his panel of experts regarding biotechnology. Here are my thoughts in my own words… To take a life created in God’s image is a sin against God and man. To make a life created in man’s image is a sin against man and God. Taking human life or making human life – where is…
Bible doctrine enters the mind as knowledge. By faith, it is transferred to the believer’s human spirit and becomes wisdom. Wisdom then gives us God’s own divine viewpoint, feeding our spirit and nourishing and refreshing our soul. God’s perspective gives us power and vision to make Godly decisions. Through His Holy Word, God’s perfection enters us in this life. In…
Believe for salvation – confess for restoration and communion: The salvation of the unbeliever results in initial union with God. The confession of the strayed believer results in restored communion with God. Believing for salvation and confession of sin are two completely different concepts and should never be interchanged. The unbeliever is never saved by confessing sin, and the believer…
Our Lord said, “The son of man must be lifted up.” So, what did He mean by that? He meant that true life could only come out of death. He meant that for a new creation to begin, the old creation must be destroyed. The principle again is that the cross must come before the crown. The people of the…
Once upon a time, waters of a great river raged and the mountains shook at its roaring. The mighty river forged its way through the canyons and carried with it the mountains to the sea. Where the mountains once stood, valleys, forests, and beautiful meadows flourished. The sea was displaced by the mountains and its waters now flow peacefully through…
“I just wrote, and these thoughts kept coming…” – C. S. Craig Open your heart, and I will speak to you, for my will is everlasting life, found in your salvation. Be filled with my Word, and my Spirit. Receive my Spirit in salvation through my Word. Be redeemed by my grace through Christ, for you. I shall give…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Jesus Christ became incarnate to save us… so that truth can become incarnate through us to a lost and dying world. We are the living truths of God. The best apologists of Christ are those who demonstrate His life outwardly to the world. Regardless of what happens to you or to me, history is written before…
A dancing figure, light and free, moves with virgin liberty. Eyes like moon crystals in the sea, my escort has come for me. An apparition God has sent to calm this fleeting moment. A traveler between life and death, a comforter at one’s last breath. I’m ready for my heavenly flight, pass away, pass away into the light. Breathe no…
VICTORIOUS PROCLAMATION #1 Prior to Christ’s resurrection, all the way back to the days of Adam, believers had waited in Paradise for the promised Savior. Finally, Christ made His Victorious Entrance and His Victorious Proclamation that He went to the cross, paid the penalty for sin, and that their salvation was completed, once and for all, just as God promised…
