The Law of Love with Grace December 27, 2008

 
Recently, I enjoyed a rich discussion with a spiritual son of mine about matters that I care deeply about.   His two questions challenged me and required some thought.  It is my hope that as a result of sharing this with you, you will be challenged as well. 
 
Although The Bible hasn’t changed, time and the [...]

Part One “Aroma of Christ Series” December 14, 2008

“What is it about this young man that allows the extract of God’s Holy Oil be released with such power and grace?”

The Aroma of Christ Series December 14, 2008

Have you ever noticed that some people just seem to carry a “heavenly scent” about them?  What does it look like to “permeate the atmosphere of our heart” in order to carry the Aroma of Christ?
Over the next few weeks, I will be doing a series called “The Aroma Of Christ” and I pray that [...]

The Fruit and Rhythm of Kingdom Living October 12, 2008

I’ve been pondering this in prayer for the past few days and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. I love the Fall season, the time for reaping and harvesting, gathering the remnants left over from the summer.  Perhaps this is a good time for us to sit and examine the fruit of our harvest: [...]

Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Living! October 11, 2008

It really struck me as Mark Twain’s words often do.  Remember the story?  A man went to heaven and asked St. Peter who the greatest general was of all time.  He pointed to the common laborer who aparently let his fears keep him back from this great potential he never reached.  He was God’s chosen [...]

Chaos on Wall Street, Order on Main Street October 5, 2008

I was up several times in the middle of the night this week, along with hundreds of others who live on “Main Street”, America.  Worrying over assets, future income, praying for wisdom to know the course I am to take, I turned to the one true source I know I can rely upon.  As I [...]

That I May Know Him! September 19, 2008

To walk in healing is more than a physical manifestation of being cured, it is the empowerment of joy and peace, the miracle of his love at work within our hearts, enabling and empowering us to WALK THROUGH THE FIRES AND NOT BE BURNED.

Singing Over You and Me August 26, 2008

Zephaniah 3:17
17The Lord your God in your midst,The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

While I was making the bed this morning, I suddenly felt that good, joyful bubble rising up inside my heart so I started singing a song to my Lord.  As [...]

Tequilla and the New Wine August 20, 2008

 Tequila and the New Wine
 
This morning, I was drawn to a small little book I recently purchased, called JOURNEY OF THE PRODIGAL, by Brennan Manning.  I want to share one line from the book that went through my heart like an arrow of revelation.

“Instead of drowning your pain in tequila, blow it out through this [...]

Carry Each Other’s Burdens August 15, 2008

Carry each other’s burdens
FEBRUARY 21ST, 2005

Galatians 6:2 says: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” One day I was at a woman’s conference and at one point we were invited to write out our prayer request and bring them to the front, to lay it on the [...]
