God-incidence
Have you ever felt like someone was out to get you? Like there were clandestine meetings of people plotting your demise?

God’s plumb line…
King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But whenContinue reading “God’s plumb line…”
prepare to meet your God…
The Hebrew Scriptures reading for today is from Amos.

And he spread it before me.Continue reading “eat what I give you”

“As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathersContinue reading “backward rather than forward…”
Fools for Christ…
Have you ever done something really foolish? The kind of thing where people stop and stare because they are amazed any one could have done the thing that you just did? We makes fools of ourselves all the time and sometimes we don’t even have to try to make fools of our selves. In today’sContinue reading “Fools for Christ…”
I believe; Help my unbelief…
How many of us believe we are entitled to something? Let’s look at it from a different vantage point… How many of you have running water? How many of you have indoor plumbing? A toilet that flushes? A refrigerator/freezer to keep foods fresh? How many of us can worship how we want without worrying about whoContinue reading “I believe; Help my unbelief…”
