Are You Longing for Revival?

“You held back Your fury. You kept back Your blazing anger. Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside Your anger against us once more. Will You be angry with us always? Will You prolong Your wrath to all generations? Won’t You revive us again, so Your people can rejoice in You?”Continue reading “Are You Longing for Revival?”

The Heart of Prayer

I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!” (Philippians 3:10-11 NLT) While the words above weren’t, in their original context, a prayer, theyContinue reading “The Heart of Prayer”

Heart and Mind

“Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart. For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to Your truth.” (Psalm 26:2-3 NLT) The function of our heart and mind, at least as it relates to Scripture, is very similar. The same word that’sContinue reading “Heart and Mind”

Lingering Beauty

David (above) cried out to God, but sensed no relief, no answer from the Lord. Silence from heaven can be crippling, yet,Continue reading “No Answer or Wrong Answer?”

The Limitless Love of God

“Then Peter came to Him and asked, ‘Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven!’” (Matthew 18:21-22 NLT) Without love there can be no forgiveness. To say we forgive and to forgive can be two very different things. It takesContinue reading “The Limitless Love of God”

Useful or Glorious?

“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord – glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?” (Exodus 15:11 NLT) How do you view God? Do you love Him? Need Him? Don’t understand Him? Couldn’t care less about Him? Have no opinion about Him? Question Him? Doubt Him? Fear Him? The range ofContinue reading “Useful or Glorious?”

Man or Machine?

“So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27 (NLT) You and I are created by God to “fill the earth and govern it.” (Genesis 1:28), yet, there are those today who believe humanity is basically idiotic and shouldContinue reading “Man or Machine?”
