  • Legalism is great

    I am finding the Spirit calling me to walk a little more intentionally through the Gospel of Mark right now, so I have suspended my Daily Office reading for a season to see what the Lord wants to say to me in this gospel, which happens to be my favorite of the four. Mark 7 is a powerful statement on…

  • Notes from the Temptation of Christ

    Some notes I wrote long ago on the Temptation of Christ in the wilderness:

  • Prayers I am praying today

    These are prayers on my heart today:

  • Are we stopping short of the full work of God in us?

    Working my way through Matthew, I found this note in Matthew 4, when Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness:

  • When the river of God flows

    I have been reading through Ezekiel asking the Lord to restore my sense of wonder and imagination. 

  • Mind-blowing realities of the Kingdom of God

    I have finished my little project in Acts and am now making my way through Ephesians.

    I have mentioned the project I am on currently.

Acts has had such significance in my life in leading me in ministry and life decisions. What I didn’t…

  • Where the Word has taken me

    I am working my way through Acts in a new notebook. As I journey through Acts, I am putting down what I have learned in study and in ministry life over 30 years. At least three major turns in my life and ministry have come in Acts 10, 16, and 20. They are vivid in my mind and I am…

  • Has the Word been pouring through me?

    A few weeks ago in church I had a serious challenge drop into my heart from the Spirit. I was just entering the Book of Acts and the Gospel of John as part of my daily reading. I am using the daily reading from the Book of Common Prayer through this season. When I get to Advent, I hope to…

  • The rise of false Messiahs

    At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time. (Matt. 24:23-25, NIV)
