Religion
Discussions about RELIGION and THEOLOGY – as in the study, pursuit, and understanding of God. This category is everything that interests me about RELIGION and THEOLOGY.
What Is Truth?
In John 18:38 Pilate asked the question of Jesus “What is truth?” Dr. Del Tackett has referred to this as one of the most important questions of all time in The Truth Project. Ravi Zacharias has called it the most tragic question of all time in that it was asked of the purveyor of Truth […]
Are You In the Midst of Despair?
Here we sit on the eve of a New Year. 2017 is about to pass into the annuals of time and 2018 is about to arrive with all of its mystery, and fear, and excitement. I don’t know what the New Year may hold for you, I don’t even know what the New Year holds […]
Do You Know The Name Above All Names?
On January 6th, 2017 Hillsong Worship brought us the song What A Beautiful Name it Is. In my estimation, this song is the full embodiment of Philippians 2:8-11 which says: “8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath […]
My Reminder…
Richard C. Halverson, though I never knew him, is a hero of mine. His work and words have impacted my life. As I remember him in this month of Thanksgiving, I thank God for him. I recently posted one of his devotionals from his bi-weekly devotional letter “Perspective”. I’d like to post another today. I […]
The Way
Psalm 84:5-12 New American Standard Bible 5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion! …They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; …The Lord gives grace and glory; No […]
He Must Increase…
John 3:30 (NASB) He must increase, but I must decrease. Reading this verse in its context, John the Baptist, nearing the end of his ministry, tells his disciples that Jesus Christ is the Bridegroom, but he, John, is just His friend. He is one who partnered with God in “preparing the way” for the Coming One, […]
He Is Near
“We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near….” Psalm 75:1 Such great encouragement and hope to know this! The psalmist, speaking to God, says: But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of […]
First Things First
Matthew 6:33 (NASB) 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. The scriptures tell us to seek His Kingdom first. So, what is this “kingdom” we should seek? I believe kingdoms are about kings and their domain. That being so, seeking His Kingdom is seeking Him […]
The Bible!
Through the years, there are those who have impacted my life greatly. One of those is Richard C. Halverson, former Chaplain of the United States Senate. His writings speak powerfully to many issues. I share today this devotional taken from his bi-weekly devotional letters, May 20, 1996, published by Concern Ministries, Inc. I might add, […]
HE Satisfies!
Psalm 145:15-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 The eyes of all look to You, And You give them their food in due time. 16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 38:9 (NASB) 9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. Psalm 103:5 […]
