Dealing With Grief, Part 4: Grief! Oh What Pain!
Dealing with grief is perhaps one of the hardest things that we, as humans, must do. Grief may be rooted in a death or illness, or it may be rooted in a loss, such as the loss of support, the loss of a spouse through divorce, the loss of a job, or even the feelings of...
The Wilderness Experience, Part 1: Why a “Wilderness Experience”?
"As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him . . . Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting...
FREEDOM FROM FEAR, Part 7: The Fear of Death
Last week, in FREEDOM FROM FEAR, Part 6, we learned that freedom from fear not only requires faith, but it also that we stop looking at the storm. If we keep our eyes on God, no matter what new thing is thrown our way, we will prevail! But isn't this a bit simplistic...
LESSONS FROM EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE, PART 12: The Sacrifices, Part C: The Preparation of Sacrifice
Last week, in Lessons from Ezekiel's Temple, Part 12a, we discovered that God desires our sacrifices, but in order to present them to a pure and holy God, we must make sure that we, as the givers, are also pure. We do so by allowing Jesus' blood to cleanse us, and by...
LESSONS FROM HANDICAPS, PART 3: Seeing Through Autism’s Eyes
"May you always be doing those good, kind things that show you are a child of God, for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord." (Phil 1:11 TLB) I pulled an old photo album from its shelf yesterday and wiped the dust off of it. It is one that I rarely open,...

MINING SOME TRUTHS, PART 1
August 5th 2010. For a bunch of thirty-three men, it was going to be a routine "day in the office". Only their office was a good 2000 feet below the Earth's surface, their "office cubicle", nothing but layer upon layer of mud mixed with copper and gold, their "office...
THE COMMAND AND the CALL, PART 2
It is indeed surprising that Scriptures bear witness to the fact of godly souls, (who would not as much as harm a fly) having more enemies, than one can remember. In this essay, for better understanding of the following: a) Measured response of devout souls to...
FAITH, Part 10: By Faith, Abraham…Part B
In last week's lesson on faith, looking at Hebrews 11:7, we learned from Abraham that faith in God means we are willing to fulfill our eternal role, even if we have no idea what the big picture might be. Now let's go to Heb. 11:11-12 for the next lesson in faith, this...
GLIMPSES OF GOD, PART 33: A Prayer of Faith
When Jesus departed, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord....
