The song is about the Lord drawing us into a relationship with Him “in His chambers.” In His chambers there is only Him, His love, the kisses of His mouth….

Joy to the World!
Joy to the World , the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing. Joy to the World, the Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills…
Inside Out
Photo from http://milkshakemelody.com/figurvore/index.php?topic=1183.0 The other night I read my son a Little Golden Book about Jesus’s birth. Making theology meaningful to a three year old is no easy task. Still, I wanted the incarnation of God to be more concrete. My son likes babies so I started out talking about how Jesus was born a little…
Wonderful Things in Your Law (Part 4)
Photo taken at the Glendive Dinosaur & Fossil Museum Please read parts 1-3 before continuing The Ceremonial/Ritual Law Thus far, we have seen that the law is fulfilled as we live in Christ and He lives in us. To deepen our appreciation of this point, let’s consider some specific laws, starting with those in the…
This Is What Is Written (Part 1)
Interpreting the scriptures is central to Christian belief. After all, the way someone interprets the Bible determines how they understand and live out their faith. These days, many methods of biblical interpretation have been advanced. Some favor a literal interpretation, some a wholly symbolic one. Others believe that no book of the Bible can be…
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…
Our Christian Pantheon
There is a need that is continually on my heart: That Christ be known and magnified as He is in scripture. I fear there isn’t enough of this among Christians. Many godly things and subjects draw bigger crowds than Jesus: the end times, miracles, and growing leaders; social or doctrinal contoversies; evangelism, social justice, and…
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,…
Back in a Flash
Life is busy. I don’t know about you but most days it flashes before my eyes. After working & caring for children, I have about an hour to an hour & a half left for everything else–praying, Bible study, blogging, yard work, reading, hanging out with friends, house work, returning emails…I could go on but…
Petrified
“The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins” (2 Peter 1:9). We have been cleansed from our sins by the cross and resurrection of Christ. Our cleansing is twofold: 1) we are forgiven, absolved of any fault, relieved of any guilt; 2) sin ceases…
