Philippians 3:16 - "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Paul spoke about the desire to attain. There is no standing still. We are renewed by the Spirit. We never get into a new place until we come out of the old one (Genesis 12:1-4).
We must see...
Isaiah 40:31 - "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
We let the Lord take our heart through a process.
Just as Peter had to go through a series of events to be ready to...
James 3:17 - "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy."
As we speak the tender mercies of the Word over a problem, our faith begins to rise up within us. We then release words of faith and plant...
Chapter 12 of Genesis wastes no time!
It has no time for things like "origin stories" or "background" or "context". The Bible reader receives no real introduction to Abraham - who he is, what his relationship with God is. Nevertheless, God, out of the blue it would seem, picks Abraham for one...

Overreach?
Keller says the Elder Brother was trying to use his obedience to the father to control him. He says:
One reason I included the full text of the “Prodigal Son” parable in Part 1 is so you could reference it. Feel free to scan it again and see if you...
I wasn’t sure what I felt about “The "Prodigal God" until the very end of the book. Until then, I alternated between being in vehement denial of the author Tim Keller's assertions (thinking he made arguments which were a "stretch") to feeling completely enlightened & "fully sold" on the very...
Comparative liturgics, whose principles and method were developed so brilliantly by Baumstark, has delivered an even more serious blow to the hypothesis of the monastic origin of the daily cycle. This study has shown that the epoch of the development of the daily cycle after Constantine was...
In the Church this first-eighth day (the Lord’s Day: κυριακὴ ἡμέρα) is the day of the Eucharist. The early Christian tradition bears uniform witness to this fact. The Eucharist has its day, Christians gather together on a statu die— on an established day. We know that the ‘Day of the Sun’ was...
The appearance of this new day is rooted in the expectation of salvation, in that striving toward the future and in those messianic hopes which were just as characteristic of the theology of the Old Covenant as the cult of the Law. If in the sabbath the Hebrew honours the Creator of the universe...
We must first see how well grounded is the idea of the liturgy of time on which we have based our notion of the structure of the early Christian ‘rule of prayer.’ We find support in the obvious link between the Eucharist and time expressed from the very first days of the Church in the Christian...
I was reading an article about expository preaching, one of my favourite subjects. I am just not into tickling ears preaching. The article talked about being a teaching pastor and my mind began to wander through the use of the word and I thought how ridiculous so let me begin.
If you are the...

MEDITATION ON FASTING
One morning I read of the time Jesus spent in the desert after his baptism. The bible tells us that when he came out of the water he was filled with the Holy Spirit, So after he had been filled with the Holy Spirit he was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert where he was...
Jesus Is Lord. His Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Ask, believing, you shall have. Put a guard on the mouth for the tongue has the power of life and death. Out of the heart flows the issues of life, so fill your heart with God's Good Word
laughing at me
People laugh at people. Laughing at others of course can cause pain, but laughing at ourselves is often one of the best things we can do for the benefit of others and for ourselves.
The scripture says, "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes..." [Prov 21:2], but it also...
