We look and yearn and feel after eternity,if we might chance upon a taste of that which is so glorious;if that blessed confidence might be struck to us as flesh upon the bone,and our hearts be found true and pure,meekly waiting beneath our master's table for one crumb of His word. So let us be …

Others Beside
One of the errors of Nineveh was that they were very proud. The LORD says in Zephaniah that they "dwelt carelessly" and "said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me." They rejoiced in this pride, thinking only of themselves, dwelling carelessly. The full verse says, "This is the rejoicing city that …
Our Humble God
The title "Our Humble God" probably sounds odd. I don't think many of us tend toward thinking God is humble. After all, He is above all things. He is God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, the sea and all that therein is! Look at what God says of Himself in these passages, "Thus saith …
Seek The LORD and Avoid Death
Spiritual death comes from a lack of seeking God. Those who dare to not seek out The LORD's face and His glory will not live. God issues a stern warning in Amos that we should take heed to. It is of upmost importance that we seek God and live! In these last days (and we …
Abiding in Christ Jesus
In my experience, the phrase "abide in Christ" has turned into a catchphrase of sorts. It has lost its meaning through overuse combined with a lack of depth of understanding. Too often, phrases like this in Christianity lose their meaning. We say them, but when probed with how to actually apply them or with what …
Grabbing the Hem of Christ
Think about your pursuit of Jesus Christ. How intense is it? If one were to peer into your heart, would they see a raging flame or a smoldering wick; would they see a zealous pot of boiling water or a lukewarm one? The Lord has been telling me more and more lately to be more …
Jesus, Jonah, and a Sea of Wrath
Jonah is a type of Christ in very many ways, but perhaps the most interesting has to do with Jesus' payment for our sins. Jesus alludes to this, saying, "But [Jesus] answered and said unto them, an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but …
Written in Heaven
We have a glorious promise from Jesus, who tells us, "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels." [Rev 3:5] Those who are overcoming will …
Not Despising the Little Things
Don't look at the seeming meaninglessness or mundane things of each day and despise them; they may be more useful than you think! We need to strive so that we aren't discounting every small and seemingly innocent occurrence; we mustn't look at things as if they are just routine, just another thing to do before …
Transforming the Valley
In the midst of affliction, we as Christians can thrive. We can transform the valleys of our lives into beautiful and lush places. This is only possible through The Holy Spirit, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Notice what Psalms says, "Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south." [Psa …
