Come, Taste, and See!

Posted on

  One of the things I love about God is that He is always initiating relationship.  He could have just said, you deserve death and zapped us; which would have been totally justifiable, but instead, He went to the absolute extreme and demonstrated His love for me that while I was a sinner Jesus died […]

Rescued For A Reason

Posted on

   Sitting on a wooden fence in the cool Colorado night air, 27 years ago, I surrendered my life to God because I realized that I had sinned against Him and through the power of His son, He would pay for that and I could be made whole again.  I could be a new creation! […]

Let Your Heart Be Written On

Not Ashamed, But In Love

Posted on

Misplaced Affections

    My heart breaks for God’s church this morning. As I read through this list, I was reminded of story after story I’ve heard on the news confirming all these truths of misdirected affections of our times.  My mind attempted to remind me that those who don’t know God  would not be desiring holiness.  Deep […]

Why Paul? Why You?

Posted on

Have you ever wondered why God chose Saul(Paul) to follow Him?  It certainly was no accident.  Paul, himself, teaches that the grace of the Lord was more abundant with faith and love in Christ Jesus (vs. 14) and that Jesus might demonstrate His perfect patience for those who would believe(vs. 16).  Paul believed and trusted […]
