All the Parts in All the Wrong Places


It seems a lot of people focus on their works for God. Many church groups enslave people to a work-based dogma or theology that requires people to submit to biblical teachings that have been “weaponized” by these church groups. The motive of these church groups, that present a work-based relationship for salvation theology, is to establish means and

Are You a Stranger in Church?


“Strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.” Jeremiah 51:51 The prophet Jeremiah was grieved and repulsed by the intrusion of the ungodly into the holy places where the priests of God were only allowed to enter. He was upset because people were not seeking to know God and His love. Jeremiah said:

Impossible!


The prophet, encouraging the children of Israel as they were living in oppression and suppression and exiled in a foreign land, said: “Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children

Rejected by God


 “Oil for the light.” Exodus 25:6 God knows all our needs before the needs arrive.  God instructed Moses not only to build the tabernacle but how to build His dwelling place. The blueprint for the place of worship was divine and given by God. The resources to build it was temporal and would be supplied by

Are You Provoking God?


God, observing the behavior of the people He delivered from the darkness of slavery in Egypt, was not only disturbed but angered at their unwillingness to trust in Him. God, speaking to Moses said: “How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which

Are You “That Guy?”


“Have mercy upon me, O God.” Psalm 51:1 The cry of the sinner is simple, “Have mercy upon me, O God.” David King of Israel had been confronted by God about his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. The word of God, from the mouth of the prophet Nathan, forced David to admit to God his sin. When Nathan said, “Thou

A Life of Duplicity


"“All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.” Numbers 6:4 The vow of the Nazarite was a vow of separation. Separated from the world for the purpose of God. Not many would take this vow. Sad enough, many who did lived a life

The Cords and Bands of Love


“I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love.” Hosea 11:4 The power of redemption is in the hands of God. No one is capable of seeking a relationship with God unless He first reveals Himself to them. Jesus makes this evident when He explains His place in the redemption of humanity: “No man

Chewing on God


  “If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” 1 Peter 2:3 Taste along with sight, sound, smell, and touch are how we experience the creation God has created for us. To taste is to partake. We can hear sounds and never engage the source of the sound, we can see people and

Life in the Rear View Mirror


“He led them forth by the right way.” Psalm 107:7 This declaration by the Psalmist was a testimony of God’s love and power to create a new direction in the lives of His people and lets us better understand how God creates a “new normal” for His people when they experience life-changing events.
