The Know it All
The Know it All, is Part I of a series dealing with introspection. During this series, I want to discuss issues we all deal with due to places of the heart that are not whole, low self-worth, and defensiveness. All of us have issues. When reading this series, you might think of someone in your... Continue Reading →
A Psalm of Bonnie–Tekoa
A contemplative song of Tekoa: Who has been there for me? You, oh King of righteousness. Who has seen and counted my tears? You, oh, compassionate One. Who has held me in the night and strengthened my bones? Who has known my heart of sorrow and sent a newborn fawn--when the morning birds sang louder... Continue Reading →
Who Can Stand Before Jealousy?
Photo by Pro Church Media on Unsplash Anger and offenses can be settled and healed, but the Book of Proverbs states, "who can stand before jealousy?" "Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?" (Proverbs 27:4, TLV). "A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to... Continue Reading →
It’s Been a Long Time Comin
One of the things I enjoy is music. I know some people do not like secular music. Others stick to one genre, but I love many different types of music. The following song is a favorite: I was born by the river, in a little tent Oh, and just like the river I've been... Continue Reading →
It’s Just Emotions Taking Me Over
Our emotions can take over. The Bee Gee's had a hit song called Emotions. One part of the lyrics says, "In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul." The song is about a lover that has left. The psalmist is overcome... Continue Reading →

Death Valley Part II–Angels & Beasts
Part I HERE “And he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.” (Mark 1:13). Angels and beasts. In every trial, there are angels and beasts. Demonic strongholds and divine messengers. The Messiah comes out of the wilderness... Continue Reading →
Gifts and callings, and Identity
"Now Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own censer, put fire in it, laid incense over it, and offered unauthorized fire before Adonai—which He had not commanded them. So fire came out from the presence of Adonai and consumed them. So they died before Adonai" (Leviticus 10:1-2, TLV). This week while meditating on Nadab and Abihu, I... Continue Reading →
The Journey of the Prophet Part III
The prophet has an assignment just as the teacher has an assignment, just as a missionary has an assignment. The assignment isn’t to predict the next President, and although the prophet may be endowed with interpretation ability of dreams, that’s not the prophet's primary assignment. It’s not to give “A prophetic Word of the... Continue Reading →
The Prophet Amos
The world makes me sad at times. Our sins make a noise, and the noise can drown out the beauty of the songbirds. In Genesis 18:21, we learn that the Father says He will see if the sound He is hearing is a bad as it cries. "I will go down and see if... Continue Reading →
