Walking in intimacy with God is something that many do not give a second thought to. Yet, the Bible tells us that God is quite aware of those who take the time and make the effort to do so–with great spiritual rewards. It is worth noting that God is not looking for people who live flawless lives, but rather, he […]
“How To Walk in Intimacy With GOD,” Part 9
In going deeper in the study of walking in intimacy with God, I would like to spend a little time looking into the need for “meditation.” I am not referring to an eastern version of mysticism, nor “transcendental meditation” that became quite popular in the west starting in the 1960’s. For those that are living the life of a Christ-follower, […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 8
In the first seven parts of this series, we have looked at a number of things that should be part of our individual walk with God–if our hope and desire is to have intimacy with Him. Praise, worship, thanksgiving, and prayer are often integrated with each other. Music is one of the pathways God has designed for each one of […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 3
The Old Testament Scriptures bring up something else that is foreign to many, but is definitely a factor in God’s relationship with mankind. The Old Testament speaks quite often of the “adultery” of Israel. He not only speaks of the adultery, but also says that, He, God, is “married” to Israel! Let’s look at a few Scriptures to show this. […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 2
Even though the traditional Jewish wedding has been discussed in other articles, and we explained the basic steps up above, it is important to dig a bit deeper and include some of the traditions of the Jewish wedding which have been practiced for thousands of years. There is some variance in traditions at Jesus’ time in history but basic facts […]
WHO Is The BRIDE OF CHRIST? Part 1
The identity of the Bride of Christ has been the subject of much debate. My purpose in this article is to bring up some Scriptures and leave it to you to come to your own conclusions. I believe the answer is not as difficult as many make it, but then you, the reader, may find some of the thoughts I […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 7
Prayer is a delicacy in our relationship with our Creator that most of us, myself included, do not take full advantage of. But, it is the realization of the lack that is the first step to the cure. How many of us say that we don’t have enough time to really spend in prayer, certainly not like so many of […]

SPECIAL MIDEAST UPDATE, the rest of the story…! 2/28/2014
More and more true stories are coming out of different places in the world where God moves in unusual ways in response to the trust and obedience of His committed remnant. The Middle East is not being left out. This is a story that would be hard to believe and harder to verify if so many people had not seen it happen. The mainstream news however would never carry a story such as this one.
Walking In Intimacy With God, Part 4
In a world that is moving as fast as today’s world, it takes making a conscious effort to make time to commune with God. The best of the relationship between a human and his Creator does not come with a quick prayer over a meal or our “now I lay me down to sleep” prayer. A close walk with God must be pursued, but God will be there for anyone that makes an honest effort! It is essential in our imploding world.
