In Isaiah 12:1-6 we find a message of joy. If we compare Isaiah 12, this song of Joy, with Psalm 30 where we find a psalm of trust and then if we compare those songs to John the Baptist's message, we realize that to have JOY, that profound abundant JOY th

Let me ask you: Is what you do remembered with joy by those who don’t know our Lord? Do your acts of kindness lift others up? Friends, perhaps we need to look closely at our communities, at our churches, our circle, maybe help our ministers, maybe help

In the Bible, an apocalypse is a moment when God pulls back the curtain that hides heaven from earth. The Revelation offers glimpses of a holy reality which is normally hid from our eyes. We need to consider that each letter was directed to a church then

It seems that God not only allows adversity but even brings it upon us at times—not because we lack faith or are disobedient, but as a way to increase our faith. Tribulation helps us to mature into the people of faith God wants us to be. Many Christians

God’s grace, God’s mercy is unbelievable. It goes so far beyond what we can imagine. Jesus gave us two commandments calling them “the first” beginning with: The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all yo

In Scripture, there is only one reference to God giving us a white stone with a new name: this white stone is called the acquittal stone. So how do we receive this stone? Well, all Scripture points to only one way: Gods forgiveness of sin which is given w

In Chapter 10 Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their request and Mark wants us to know how Jesus responded. Jesus said: What can I do for you? Have you been asked that question lately? What would it look like if the question turned into

We are always tempted to think that the difficulties of the present overshadow the reality of God’s promise. When we trust our own efforts instead of Christ’s power, we, too, are in danger of turning our backs on God, but our own efforts are never ade

I know that during the summer many of us like to go camping into the middle of the forest, just to get away from it all. Many people do, some almost every week. So, you know the ropes, there’s no great risk in doing that. But at some point, you likely h

We live in an age where we carefully note what is clean and what is not. This became much more noticeable during Covid 19 and it seems we’ve kept that mentality. By the same token, have you noticed that in many cases we have become a people who see “u
