In the daily reading plan I have been going through the Gospel of Luke. One of Luke’s phrases, in the NLT, that he repeats over and over again is this: experts in religious law. He couples that with the term Pharisees, so we know that he’s not just referring to the group of Pharisees, but [...]

As the Lord commanded
In Exodus 40, the phrase “just as the Lord commanded” occurs 7 times. The end of the chapter proceeds to describe how, after Moses had done everything as the Lord commanded that, the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. In truth, the glory was so thick that Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle. [...]
The Distinguishing Factor
Your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the Earth. Exodus 33:16 That’s the best way to put that. I don’t think there is a better way to describe “us.” Ussus (southern colloquialism) is Christians. We are supposed to be defined and set apart as people who have [...]
Instant Replay
I love soccer (from the English abbreviation “association football”). I love the pace and flow of the game. I love how there are no timeouts. I love the build-up to each and every goal. I, also, love how there is no use of instant replay. In this World Cup there have been tons of bad [...]
The “trouble” with revelation.
In the title (right above) I am not talking about the book of revelation, so much as I am referring to revelation that helps us mature in our faith. Paul says in Philippians 3:16: “Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same [...]
World Cup Analogies
With the World Cup just around the corner…I thought I would share some spiritual analogies in regards to the world cup. (Note: for those of you who do not know what the World Cup is, shame. It’s the largest sporting event in the world for the world’s largest sport – football aka soccer aka calcio [...]
The Basic Law
If you follow me on twitter (if you’re a fan of witty, biblical, awesome observations I highly recommend it) you might have seen my last tweet. It was Ezek. 43:12, which says: “and this is the basic law of the Temple: absolute holiness!” So, the basic law or the most essential foundation/ starting point or [...]
Updated by God
Well, we just got back from Brasil last week. What an amazing time that was! We saw hundreds get saved, healed and touched by the power of God. Paige and I (plus interns from 220) left on Sunday and were in the Brasilian state of Paraibo. We were preparing the city for a crusade that [...]
Outlawed!
I have had these scriptures rumbling about in my spirit for the last month or so. I figured I would share them. They are good ones (as different from “non-good scriptures” Is. 59:14, 15 – Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and HONESTY has [...]
TMI!
(*Note this post is intended for humor. Do not get offended.) I still have this love/hate relationship with twitter. I just can’t seem to break out one way or t’other (t’other = hymnal for “the other”, kind of like o’er = hymnal for “over”). Some days I really enjoy reading nuggets of truth or anecdotal [...]
