In John's gospel, Pilate asks Jesus during his trial," What is truth?" In the verse, before this Pilate is speaking and Jesus responds: John 18:37 (NKJV)-37 Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause, I was born, and for …
The Riches of God’s Grace
Many years ago I came across the book "Living in the Balance of Grace and Faith" by Andrew Wommack. It was life-changing for me and my wife. I was also inspired by Dr. Paul Ellis who writes extensively on the beauty of God's grace. I had a good foundation on the subject of faith but I didn't fully …
Is it Beginning?
The other evening, I watched The Jesus Revolution for the third time with my wife. It still moves me to tears. I have a great respect for the late Pastor Chuck Smith. He was willing to open his Church to a younger generation needing Jesus. They were unwanted, overlooked, wild, and despised, yet God …
“The Sound of Abundance of Rain”
Do you know you can hear a train before you see it or a plane approaching? You can tell when a storm is brewing and rain is coming. You see lightning before thunder because light travels faster than sound. I guess that goes without saying. My point is, what a wonderful gift of hearing. The Bible …
The Law of Faith
In the Bible, we read a lot about the "Law," such as the Law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic Law, the Lord's Law, the Ten Commandments, the Law of burnt offerings, the Law of sacrifices, all the Old Covenant Laws, and the Law of Truth. There were six hundred and thirteen Laws to be exact. The …

Heart and Mouth
If you follow the news much, you know there are a lot of accusations, negative words, and rhetoric thrown around. Even the president mentioned toning it down across the country. That didn't work well. Hey, it's only words, right? They don't make a difference? We often hear about fact-checking people …
Who Is The Inner Man?
I would say that most people and even some Christians do not realize that they are more than just a soul and a body. We are more than feelings and emotions. It's more than living life out of a flesh and blood body. When we die it's over as some people would think. We just cease to exist. That is so …
Speaks Mysteries
I love to study the scriptures. To learn things I haven't known before and to remind myself of what I've had. The Bible is an unending book of knowledge and revelation. You can learn new things daily as you spend time in God's Word. It is rich and wonderful. To gain more understanding about our walk …
A Brand New Tongue
"When measured in real-life conversations, the average person speaks around 16,000 words daily." That's a lot. They say women talk more than men. That has been my experience in thirty-seven years of marriage. That is just how God created her. I love listening to her. It would be true that every word …
