Miracles

While salvation is the greatest gift and most important miracle, other miracles are not any less remarkable. And God is not limited in his miracles! In this verse from Micah 7:15, he even promises he will work miracles like when he rescued his people from Egypt or us at our point of salvation.

A Case for Mission Trips

We need the perspective of the global church and our brothers and sisters in Christ worldwide. When we get outside our own culture, our eyes are opened in new ways. And Jesus often works in our hearts and lives in unusual or even unconventional ways. Miracles even begin to unfold as we open ourselves to what God might have for us.

Solutions not just Problems

Sometimes, this message is why God leads us the way he leads us. I believe there is always a message in the miracle. Solutions exist to teach us something or learn a new lesson not just solve the present problem. They stretch our faith and deepen our trust in God.

The Mystery of God in Deep Darkness

But may I also propose that light can be blinding and that there is more to God than what His “light” might reveal? What if I told you that God, who is light, also dwells in deep darkness and has an air of mystery and unpredictability about him that should excite us and encourage us to want to know him in a deeper way?

“Do Whatever He Tells You”

Today, because of a family connection to the Graham family (Billy Graham/Franklin Graham), I was able to have a personal tour and meet some people at the headquarters of Samaritans Purse.

Whatever “very large” stone has trapped you or is crushing you, may it be removed in Jesus’ name! May you experience His resurrection and victorious power.

How Stones are Rolled Away

Many of us do nothing for God because of “stones” that exist in our mind. There are obstacles that hold us back from even moving towards those situations. We feel called to serve but we see no way that we can do it, so we don’t even attempt. And because we don’t attempt, we never witness the resurrection power and reality of our Living Savior!

God is not in a Hurry

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. -Hebrews 6:12 This is not an easy article for me to write. I hate waiting. I live in a culture that is also very fast-paced, expects immediate gratification and is results oriented. IContinue reading “God is not in a Hurry”

Abide

There is such a big difference between us setting out to “work for God”, versus God doing his work in us and through us! God is not looking for us to work for him. However, he is looking for worshippers through whom he can do his work! (John 4:23).
