As you may be able to tell, I’m reading through the book of Revelation. I’ve never read it all the way through before, so I thought I would. I’ve read the letters to the seven churches before, even taught some lessons on them in early in my teaching “career.” This morning it was the letter [...]

Part of the process of becoming a man God designed and desires us to me is the willingness to fight for the heart of your King – Almighty God. That calls for standing for God when no one else stands with you. It means that we fight for the standards of God. [...]

I finished up Tony Dungy’s book, Quiet Strength. I thought it appropriate that he finished the book – right up to the last page – with the main thing.
Dungy said that coaching or winning a Super Bowl was not his main purpose in life. He stated that glorifying the Father was his main purpose. How [...]

What are you going to give God in 2008?
I was lead to this question by God during consecutive quiet times just before the new year. Allow me to explain. After Christmas I asked God what He wanted from me this year. Yeah, I know the easy answer – “Your heart!” or “Your [...]

So I sat down with [...]

His CD Continuum is incredible. It was the first John Mayer CD I downloaded. It begins with a great song, Waiting [...]

Last night I was lying on the couch watching a re-play of the 2007 Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame show. I don’t know that what I was watching or listening to is important. It’s just happen to be what I was doing. As a matter of fact I was watching U2 perform I [...]

My previous post commented on Obadiah and his boldness and the guts it took to risk everything for GOD. I want to focus on Elijah now. It’s all in the same passage – 1 Kings 18.
Elijah, what a man of GOD. 1 Kings 18 records his showdown with the prophets of Baal – [...]

Yesterday morning I was led to read 1 Kings 18. It’s the story of Elijah and his showdown with the prophets of Baal. Then again, there’s another story here I have overlooked until yesterday. It’s the story of Obadiah, a servant of King Ahab.
A little background on Ahab.
He had become king of [...]
