I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said…

Sea Change
The Lord has been speaking to me about resting. Just before Thanksgiving, I noticed my motivation for writing, working on music, and for other pursuits evaporated. Since my energies were diverted to holiday plans and family I didn’t think much of it. But as it became February, March, and then April, I began to wonder…
What the Cross Means to Me–Katie McKamey
Above are my daughter’s beautiful thoughts about the cross. She wrote it as part of an assignment for the Christian school she attends around Easter last year. I posted it previously but I think of her words often. They never fail to touch my heart. May the reality of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice touch…
Childish Things
Years and years ago, I wanted to be a prophet. God began giving me prophetic words in church. As time went on, I decided I should trust God in new ways so that my prophetic gift would grow. More than once, I gave prophetic words to people I barely knew. One time, as I prayed…
The Prayer of St. Francis
St. Francis is a hero of mine. Below is a prayer attributed to him. Whether or not he wrote it, the prayer perfectly describes the way we are meant to function by the life of Love Himself. *** Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring your love. Where there…

I’ve got some family visiting so I’m going to take a 10-ish day break from blogging. Please read past posts, booklets I’ve posted, or check out some of the awesome blogs I follow. A word before I go: Yesterday, I was meditating on verses that talk about the blood of Jesus cleansing us from sin….
To Judge or Not to Judge (Part 3)
In part one we found that judging is appropriate when the source of a judgment is God and not self. Part two suggested ways we might know whether a judgment is from God. Knowing whether a judgment is from God or not is a good start but it isn’t the whole picture. We can know…
To Judge or Not to Judge. That Is the Question…
For many Christians, judging is a confusing subject. “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged” is an ever-ready verse in discussions about judging (Matt. 7:1). Yet being a Christian automatically involves a person in judgments. Christianity claims Christ is the only way to God and calls a number of socially acceptable behaviors sinful…
Busy, Busy Bee
This week and weekend are shaping up to be very busy. So I’m taking a little time off from blogging. Please read past posts, look through the pages of booklets, or read from any of the fabulous blogs I follow. And pray for me as I navigate the next few days. In the midst of…
The Key of David
The book of Revelation has fascinated and bewildered readers since it was written. Among the scriptures, it is perhaps unrivaled in its use of images, symbols, and prophetic theater. Yet nearly all the images, symbols, and dramatic events in Revelation can be found elsewhere in scripture. Revelation isn’t unique as far as its content goes….
