“You say, ‘It’s too hard to serve the Lord,’ and you turn up your noses at my commands,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. (‭‭Mal‬ ‭1:13‬) “How?” We say. “I ask you to love and serve each other – to think better of each other than you do of yourselves.” “But..!” We say. “But what?” “But you don’t know how horrible, and angry, and smelly, and downright nasty some of these people can be…!” “Just who – are ‘these people?’” “You know Lord… they’re the ones who have made themselve

But the Lord has paid for the freedom of his servants, and he will freely pardon those who love him. He will declare them free and innocent when they turn to hide themselves in him. (‭‭Psa 34:22‬) The more I think about ‘freedom,’ the more I consider its opposite – bondage. Bondage to fear, toxic relationships, wrong decisions and choices … all these have consequences – mental, physical and spiritual, that will ultimately come back to bite us – hard! And most of us have lived

… I want to live my life so close to him that he takes pleasure in my every prayer. Lord, when you said to me, “Seek my face,” my inner being responded, “I’m seeking your face with all my heart.” (‭‭Psa 27:4) I love my children. I might not agree with all their choices – but I still love them. In fact, when they call to speak with me or my wife, my heart jumps for joy….! Do I (can I ever), love more than GOD – never! Go now and call to your Heavenly Father – no matter what ch

Jesus taught his disciples, saying, “Listen to me. Never let anxiety enter your hearts. Never worry about any of your needs, such as food or clothing. For your life is infinitely more than just food or the clothing you wear. Take the carefree birds as your example. Do you ever see them worry? They don’t grow their own food or put it in a storehouse for later. Yet God takes care of every one of them, feeding each of them from his love and goodness. Isn’t your life more preciou

But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! (‭‭Eph 2:4) Think about it – He has never taken away the ‘Gift’ of Life he offered u

I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die. (‭‭Jer 10:23) We’re all alike, we dream big and in our imaginations our lives are painted with bold brush strokes. But then the things we can’t control – the wind, rain and storms of life come along and the dawning realisation hits us that our lives are not our own to direct and that we’re wholly incapabl

By embracing death Jesus sets free those who live their entire lives in bondage to the tormenting dread of death. For it is clear that he didn’t do this for the angels, but for all the sons and daughters of Abraham. This is why he had to be a Man and take hold of our humanity in every way. He made us his brothers and sisters and became our merciful and faithful King-Priest before God; as the One who removed our sins to make us one with him. He suffered and endured every test

I remember boasting, “I’ve got it made! Nothing can stop me now!… But then suddenly, you hid your face from me. I was panic-stricken and became depressed. O Lord, my healing God, I cried out for a miracle and you healed me! You brought me back from the brink of death, from the depths below. Now here I am, alive and well, fully restored! I’ve learned that his anger lasts for a moment, but his loving favor lasts a lifetime! We may weep through the night, but at daybreak it will
