Feeding on God's Word: The Path to Spiritual Maturity

At the moment of faith in Christ, believers know very little about God, His will, or the many blessings He has provided. Spiritually, they are ignorant babies. This is not a negative, but the reality of the situation. Prior to salvation, the soul is filled with human viewpoint, which is often contrary to God and His Word. This is why Christians are directed to renew their minds (Rom 12:1-2).…

The God Who Is Our Salvation

“The God who is our salvation” appears immediately before and after a Selah. What can we learn from this pause?

Selah means to pause and carefully consider.  “The God who is our salvation” is on each side of this sacred pause. What can we consider from this?  God is my salvation God is for me God is my daily provision God is my light and my life God is my escape from death God is worthy of all my worship Let’s take time to slow down and truly savor the inspired thoughts when the Holy Spirit moved the…

Crisis and Care (1 Kings 19:1-8)

We live in a broken world, full of crises and traumas.

Prophet Elijah by Mykhailo Boychuk, 1913 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he…

Dependence on God: Lessons from My Grandsons

Introduction This past week, I had the incredible joy and blessing of welcoming my second grandson into the world while continuing to spend time with my 2-year-old grandson. Observing the stark contrast between the complete helplessness of a newborn and the growing, yet still limited, independence of a toddler has offered me profound insights into our own relationship with God. The Helplessness…

A Sufficient Source of Sustenance

20 And the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel. 21 “To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting, 22 so that the people of Israel do not come near the…

An Unlikely Start to Advent, but A Necessary Perspective

As we begin the month of December, we turn our focus on Advent and the birth of our Lord and Savior. Each year for the last 10 years I have written each day in December to help bring myself closer to His celebration and truths instead of focusing on the world’s obsession with buying, gift giving and making or saving money. I pray that my blogs will stimulate your thinking and help you to focus on…

Seven Days of Gratitude: Day 4

The Seven Days of Gratitude are an annual tradition and gratitude challenge for us at MW. We have seven days leading up to Thanksgiving (U.S.) where we reflect on different themes that help us reflect on the things we can be grateful for. Some are obvious and some are a bit more random. I hope you join us on this journey of reflecting on gratitude. You can journal it or share with us on social…

Psalms 68:6 - God's Provision, Liberation, and the Consequences of Rebellion

God Is as Just and Holy as He Is Loving

A very important point: Even our secular culture wants to think of God as only loving. While the Word says that God is love because of the eternal loving communion within the Godhead, the Word also says that God is holy. I believe from these two foundations of love and holiness flow all the other attributes of God, including His justice. Another great article from Randy Alcorn and Eternal…

Preaching Without Charge: Balancing Support and Self-Support in Ministry

God sometimes supports His ministers through the agency of others who serve as conduits of His grace. The Gospel of Luke informs us that Jesus and His twelve disciples were financially supported by several women who traveled with them (Luke 8:1-3). Luke tells us these women included “Mary, who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s…

Romans 13:14 No Room For Sin

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14 Stepping out into something new can be scary, not knowing what could be ahead. Having a fallback plan is common for many people. They want an ability to go back to something that they knew previously if what they are trying fails. When one has this plan, it makes it easy to give in and go…

Dealing with Depression (1 Kings 19:9-18)

The prophet Elijah was downright exhausted – so much so, that he became debilitatingly depressed.

There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” The Lord said, “Go out and stand…

Anxiety Destroyed Saul

Introduction In my journey with the Daily Audio Bible through the Bible in one year, we’ve slogged through the miserable period of the Judges of Israel (where we’re reminded repeatedly that everyone did what was right in their own eyes–does that sound familiar?) and reached the strange story of the first two kings of Israel: Saul and then David. One odd thing about this story is that Saul seemed…

Things We See Every Day

And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬ We live in a beautiful area. People travel from miles around to visit sights I see every day. We were camping one time with my in-laws at a campground about 10 miles from our house. They’d been to the park…

W18D4: Connections to come and knowing God is my provider.

God over the years has allowed me to meet a lot of great people and to not only call them colleagues but also friends, brothers, and sisters. Today, I get to connect with a few of them and catch up. This morning in preparation, I am so glad that Provider and Alive were the first two songs to play while I went out on my dog walk too because I know that God is my provider and in the midst of…
