There are so many different kinds of foods listed in the Bible, but the one that Jesus chose to describe Himself is the “Bread of Life.” I have to admit, I thought He would say grapes or any type of fruit for that matter.

“Let Us Be Called By Your Name”
During my daily reading, something jumped out at me. I was reading Isaiah on Thursday, which so happens to be the day that I read the prophets in my reading plan.

Saved Past, Present, and Future
The first time I can remember reading the entire Bible was when I was 8 years old. I had one of those “Precious Moments” Bibles in the New King James Version.

The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom
Where to begin? Isn’t that the question most of us have when we are looking to increase wisdom and knowledge?

If we are honest, most ofContinue reading “The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom”
Getting to Know God
What is one to do when we are stuck? Where do we go when we study so much and do so many “good” things that it seems like you are missing something? In my search for meaning and acceptance and accomplishment, I am drawn to the point of everything I say and do. Everything culminatesContinue reading “Getting to Know God”
What is Your Purpose?
There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”
The Glory of God
The Glory of God. What does that mean? That is something that I seek to explore in this post. While reading John 17, I began wondering about Jesus’ prayer to the Father. Specifically, I wanted to dive into what He was asking the Father for. So beginning the prayer, He states, “glorify the Son thatContinue reading “The Glory of God”
