Today I am considering the four horses and their riders that are released by the first four seals. Could each of these symbolize Christ Jesus at His first coming?
Certainly, the white horse . . .
Read MoreA Fresh Look at Revelation
The last book of the Bible, Revelation, is perhaps the most difficult to understand. The Apostle John’s vision recorded in Revelation is rich in Biblical imagery. Being well-versed in the Old Testament scriptures helps demystify . . .

Shouted Praises are Weapons of War
With the global pandemic ripping through whole communities and the death toll rising, even a cheerful person like myself will have sad days. A couple of weeks ago, my heart felt heavy . . .
Read MoreThankful for Forgetfulness
I am thankful that God forgives and forgets my sins. Once I have confessed and repented, forgiveness is already mine thanks to Jesus’ death on my behalf. Not only am I forgiven, which is miraculous in itself. God also forgets the offence.
That means that . . . .

Read MoreWhat is your calling?
“Calling” is a word we Christians use to talk about the work that God has for us. The implication is that your “calling” is the place where God has “called” you to spend your limited time and energy preaching the gospel. Maybe it is just my perception, but I always feel a sense of drudgery . . .

Yes, I realize there will be editing and rewriting to do. But the rough draft is complete! I was amazed at how quickly it came together after all my false starts. When God calls you to something, He really does provide!

Loyal Friends and Followers,
I am taking a short break from posting . . . to Finish the Book!
God has had a book on my heart, and I have started writing it several time over the last few years. However, the book was still incubating in my heart and mind. Finally, the season to write has arrived! God has lit a fire in my bones; each morning I can’t wait to get in front of the computer to write!! I am delighted to share with you that I am halfway through the writing phase!
When I return to posting in 4 weeks, I hope to report that the writing is finished. Since this is my first book, I don’t know how long the publishing process takes. But I hope to have the book available for Christmas next year.
The book is a devotional on our identity in Christ from the book of Ephesians. It is designed primarily as a personal devotional, but I am including questions so that it can be used in small groups as well. I appreciate any prayer support you are willing to lend.
May He bless you with His favor!

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. . . . 2 Corinthians 5:17
We use this verse to encourage ourselves and others to leave our guilt and shame behind. We encourage each other to see ourselves as God sees us: a new creation in Christ Jesus. But that is not how Paul, . . . .
