Laugh On: A Follow-Up

A few people have asked questions regarding what I said about laughing at people who are flaunting and recruiting people to their sinful lifestyles. You can see that post here. One question was, “How should I react when I go into a coffeeshop and see a fellow all dressed up like a woman, sitting reading a […]

Laugh On

When I was a little boy, my brother and I noticed a fellow who was doing something we thought was very funny. We started pointing and laughing but when my mother saw what we were laughing at, she told us to “stop that, you’re being mean. That man has something wrong in his head and […]

Always Butting

The director of the conference based the morning devotions at breakfast on the Twenty-Third Psalm. This morning I awoke a bit blue in my spirits. My dear Sara lies in the hospital again and we are trying to get her into a medical center under an endocrinologist who should know more about her strange malady. […]

Connected to Glory

“You may not have connected your Wanderlust to see Asia with the promises in scripture that you will “depart and be with Christ“ (Philippians 1:23), but the desires are tied. You may never have connected your relentless pursuit of approval from your boss with the promise that in Christ, you’ll hear, “well done, good and […]

Glory Spilling Into Creation

These “snap shots” that God gives us of Himself are much more than God accommodating Himself to human language. God isn’t using our understanding of servants to suggest that He is like a servant.

Our Lord is the leader of this society. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He was tempted in all points as we are. Nobody ever walked through so dark a valley, and he walked it by himself. We can never suffer as he suffered, die as he died. He has been […]

Hints of Glory

“Things that hint at glory…Nostalgia hints at glory…Love hints at glory…Proper praise from a superior hints at glory…Your earning for another land hints at glory…Art hints at glory…The desire to be “inside” hints at glory.” Seeing Green: Don’t Let Envy Color Your Joy, Tilly Dillehay.P 25

Come Boldly

If a man cannot turn to God in the hour of his deepest need and come boldly to the throne of grace for help in such a time, then the gospel means nothing and Christian experience is a delusion. Though I Walk Through The Valley, Vance Havner, p. 21.

Displayed and Reflected

“So God’s glory is the weight, splendor, and majesty that he possessed by his very nature before anything else ever existed. Yet when the Bible speaks of God’s glory, it usually refers to his glory as it shines forth in history—as it is displayed and reflected in his mighty acts of creation of redemption.” Seeing […]
