Another Victory

Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 17 th Chapter My mind can picture the scene between one young man and one giant. These two stand in a valley between their armies, in cultural, physical, and theological opposition. The young man, David, servant of King Saul, is a minstrel, and sheep herder. The champion from the warring people, Goliath, nine feet tall with a bad disposition, foul mouthed, foul breathed, with an arrogant strut. The armies of Israel are cowering in their boots trembling at the sound of the giants’ threats. Centuries before the imagined character ‘Jack’ met the also imagined ‘fe fi fo fum…’ singing villain at sky high tree tops, young David of Bethlehem Judah heard the outlandish insults of Goliath of Gath. David is the least regarded son in his father’s eyes, by his own admission, and his father’s blatant favoritism (as seen in 1 Samuel 16 th chapter). David’s days are spent on the hillside with his sheep. David is content to sing a melody of praise to GOD as he wat...

As the Father has Loved Me

By
Scriptural Reference: John 15:9 ‘As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.’ In this scripture JESUS speaks of HIS intimate, bonded, and deep familial relationship to GOD as HIS parent. JESUS is the expressed personage and fullness of GOD manifested in skin, blood, and bones. The Father, who is GOD, becomes the SON housed in a mortal body in time and simultaneously remains in eternity without diminishing one state of being for the other. The SON is the Father mediating, redeeming, restoring and bridging the gap between sinful man and the holiness of GOD. JESUS in HIS sacrificial offering at Calvary stood pressed between the chasms of eternity and time so that whosoever would come could come and be reconciled to SON-ship, heir-ship, joint heir-ship with CHRIST JESUS in GOD. This Father who anoints the SON JESUS with wisdom, dominion, honor and all power loves HIS only SON. The Father endows the SON with all authority to delegate the kingdom within me...

Scriptural Reference: Ephesians 4:17-24 17  Therefore I say this — indeed, in union with the Lord I insist on it: do not live any longer as the pagans live, with their sterile ways of thinking.  18  Their intelligence has been shrouded in darkness, and they are estranged from the life of God, because of the ignorance in them, which in turn comes from resisting God’s will.  19  They have lost all feeling, so they have abandoned themselves to sensuality, practicing any kind of impurity and always greedy for more.  20  But this is not the lesson you learned from the Messiah!  21  If you really listened to him and were instructed about him, then you learned that since what is in Yeshua is truth,  22  then, so far as your former way of life is concerned, you must strip off your old nature, because your old nature is thoroughly rotted by its deceptive desires;  23  and you must let your spirits and minds keep being renewed,...

No Free Lunch

By
Scriptural Reference: 1 Peter 5:8 'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.' I had an object lesson recently. I lived through a hard lesson to learn about trust, gullibility, openness, and true respect. It cost me a lot to be ignorant. It cost me a lot to be easily trusting. I learned that a recommendation is not license to blindly believe anyone on the strength of the integrity of the person making the recommendation. You've been there, too! Someone who loves barbecue will adamantly guarantee that the barbecue from "ABC" spot is worth the drive and the cost. You order your meal and expect to be amazed. However, on the day that you arrive for a meal the regular chef is not available. The recipe has changed and so has ownership of the business operation. This is an over-simplified scenario to say, one single hard earned truth. Vet every person. The lesson about the lion who comes to devour ...
