The Mind Room
Wherewithal is a gift. This morning, such pertains to prayer. Vocalization today- a violation; hence the importance of mental sanctification. Compelled by a developed mandate for connection to The One, I recognize the summons for outer silence, in order that inner dialog would predominate my “dome”. Ps 62:5 My soul, wait silently for God alone,For

All, but GOD
Shifting… ceasing.. letting go. Such is the appropriate expectation followed by action of existence. All is seasonal and subject to change—to develop, devise, direct, determine and decay… All, but GOD. He is constant. Always has been. Forever will be. Rev 1:8“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and

The Few
There is something unlike any other thing that occurs within the soul when the benefits of friendship are mutually experienced. A peculiar strength of heart is obtained in fighting the good fight of faith alongside of another. Sharing life in devotion to Christ with likeminded people seems to open a realm consisting of a mysteriously

The Beauty and Terror of the Gospel
12.8.22 As the Truth of Christ strikes my psyche I begin to unravel. Lyrics flow through my heart: “How many kings stepped down from their thrones? …How many fathers gave up their sons for me?” The reality of Jesus Christ is entirely too much to take in. Even as I stare at the Scriptures, I

Divine Force
12.7.22 What drives me? When I wake, why do I get out of bed? GOD. The moment I awaken, His Spirit drops into the forefront of my conscious with immediacy, and I know without doubt that I am alive because He has permitted my existence with the gift of another day. He gives me

Inspired of the Persecuted
12.5.22 Comfortable Christian… oxymoron. Christ was not comfortable nor were His disciples. The more I regard the suffering of the persecuted church, the more despised luxury becomes to me. Every creature comfort is like a swinging blade upon the fan that hangs from the ceiling of excessive supply. A portion of my soul longs rather
