I received a call this morning from Pastor R. He called, asking for special prayer and he would appreciate the prayers of all that have a heart for House of Blessing, their missionaries, and of course, himself. About two hours after he and I spoke on the phone this last Friday, he and two missionary men that were with him were […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/23/2014

As I was contemplating the different things to include in today’s update, I reread Revelation 6, paying special attention to the fifth seal which is found in verses 9-11.

How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 13 (Final)

There is a vast difference between knowing about God, and “knowing” God. Our churches, Bible colleges and seminaries, are full of people who have accumulated a great deal of knowledge “about” God.

“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.

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.

Intimacy With God, Part 3

As is typical for our time, it is too easy to go through all the motions of going to church, drop some dollars into the offering, be pious for the songs, worship, and even the sermon.
