What More Do You Want?
I was mildly stunned by what she said. In my hands was a letter from a lady with whom I had been corresponding about spiritual things. To paraphrase, she said something like, “What more can you offer people other than Jesus and His wonderful sacrifice?” I can’t remember what I wrote back word for word…
Revelation of the Lamb
Musings from my notes on the book of Revelation: “When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb” (Rev. 5:8). At the center of all things—worshiped by countless angels, the elders, the living creatures, by all the great dignitaries of heaven—is a slaughtered lamb. ALL fall…
What Do You See?
Why this image? Scripture contains many genres: history, law, poetry, letters, prophecy, just to name a few. Understanding scripture in these ways is important. The historic, poetic, and other senses of scripture can teach us much about God. Still the full meaning of every scripture is only found in the person of Christ. This is…
The Storm of Martin Luther
Martin Luther 1483-1546 A few years ago I decided to read writings by major reformers. I started with Martin Luther’s Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians. Luther dedicated his life to God while out in a thunderstorm. He was afraid for his life. History suggests that storm transferred into Luther’s soul. As the lightning rod…

Recently, two different people asked me to read The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn. What follows is a digest of my review. Reading the digest will give you the gist of what I think but I recommend reading the full review. *** Will America suffer devastation in the not too distant future? Was 9/11 merely a warning…
It Is Finished
Image courtesy of Darrell Creswell http://darrellcreswell.wordpress.com/ This morning at church, it seemed like worship had a hard time getting off the ground. I don’t know if any of you can relate to what I’m saying. It just seemed like people weren’t engaging the Lord or His Spirit wasn’t manifesting much or something. I started praying, asking…
Visions of Glory
When Ezekiel first sees the glory of the Lord, it is not associated with any temple. This is unique, for the other two visions of God’s glory involve temples: the earthly temple, the temple judged for Israel’s sins, and the new temple, wherein all things are restored and brought to fullness. But in chapter one,…
