Restoration: Where New Life Begins

In the Bible, the phrase “Right Hand” is used over 160 times, in four different ways. Here, let me explain. · Literal • · Direction • · Honor • · Strength • Sometimes, when “Right hand” is used, it is referring simply to the right hand of the individual—the literal right hand. This is seen in Genesis 48:18 —”Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his...

Here are seven things to think about as you consider your fast. ·      Everything is an experiment. If you have never fasted before, consider using this 21-day period as your first experiment. ·      Jesus assumes you will fast. Jesus promoted fasting to His disciples when He said in Matthew 6:16 "when you fast . . . the Lord will reward you in secret." Interestingly, He didn't say...

Focus is absolutely essential.  If you are taking a picture, in order to see the beauty of the people or objects you are photographing, the camera must be in focus.  In order for us to grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord, we must focus.  We must focus on loving God and loving people, for by our Love, the world will know that we belong to Christ.  This episode discussing the impacting of...

What does Intimidation mean? Literally, it means “ the act of making someone timid or fearful”. The devil loves to use this tactic in our lives. He loves to manipulate our thoughts and emotions as a way to intimidate us, because he knows that intimidation can lead to isolation and fear. Chuck Swindoll defined our actions perfectly when he discussed what happens to us when we are intimidated by the...

I was recently reading through the book of Habakkuk. If you have never had the chance to read through that book, I would encourage you to do so. It’s a short book, just a few chapters, but it has tremendous insight into the power and glory of God. Habakkuk is considered to be a minor prophet and is believed to have lived in Jerusalem where he was prophesying around 612 BC. We really don’t have a l...

When we examine the word FIX, what do we see? The word itself means, “fasten (something) securely in a particular place or position.” The idea is that something is out of place, and must be locked down, so that everything will function properly. If I fix the picture fastener on the wall, I am making sure that it doesn’t move so that the picture will hang securely at the appropriate height. If I FI...

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” JOHN 13:34 The word pretend means, “speak and act so as to make it appear that something is the case when in fact it is not.” As children, I can re- member pretending to be a superhero or champion. I can remember the amaz...

Every generation since the time of Christ has believed that their generation would be the one that would see the return of Christ.  Many today believe the same thing, yet I believe that there is very specific biblical evidence that indicates that the time is close at hand.  Are we going to make predictions about times? Of course not--that's not biblical either, but we are going to pay attenti...

This word panic seems to dominate our culture right now. Panic is defined as “sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthink- ing behavior.” There are two key parts to this word that make it so dangerous: First is the nature of the word—it is sudden and uncontrolla- ble. No matter what is happening, this event happens quickly and without the ability of anyone to do anything ab...

We always so hesitant to address this idea of judgement because we don't want to offend anyway.  We will often times point out that the Bible says that we are to judge not let ye be judged.  Paul gives us some clarity into what this judgement looks like in Romans 2. He reminds us that we serve a righteous, and holy, and just God--who gives compassion and grace--we should always remember that...

Our culture doesn't seem to recognize the seriousness of sin.  In fact, it seems to negate its existence by redefining what truth really is.  the Bible is very clear about the  origin and impact of sin.  We are all created as sinful people.  Temptation manifests itself in our mind and then grows into deeds, which establish habits, that define character, and eventually point to our eternity.  ...

Do you know what it means to stir? The dictionary defines stirring as, “moving briskly; active.” We use it to describe the wind, the water, a song, our emotions, even choco- late milk (that’s my favorite one, because honestly is there any other kind?). Sometimes, when we see that word, it creates a little appre- hension. We know that a stirring is forcing everything into action, and allows change...
