Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is far away. Perhaps He has forgotten of us, perhaps He doesn't care, perhaps He's too busy. Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is a God far off, and not near. But in fact, Jesus is just the opposite: God is just the opposite, for it is …

The King Will Be Exalted
In this world of confusion, of war, of evil, of whatsoever dismal thing it may be, one thing is certain: Jesus Christ reigns over all and He has promised to return one day. That should bring us much hope in these times. That is our blessed hope, as Paul says, that we will see Jesus …
Three Things to Avoid
In the book of Jeremiah, The LORD mentions three things which are "horrible." From these we find warnings which are even applicable to us and our culture today. The people had itching ears. False prophets which proclaimed "peace, peace" abounded, and though it was false, the people loved it. "A wonderful and horrible thing is …
Beautiful and Unmovable
New Jerusalem is the heavenly city that will descend from God out of heaven at the beginning of the millennial period; the city is large and exceedingly beautiful. It is what The Bible calls "The City of God." Jesus tells us this Himself, saying, "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple …
Flourishing As The Palmtree
Cleaning up a tree-lawn for an elderly man for outreach purposes. While cleaning up the tree-lawn, there was a particular tree that was bent over. Much like a palm tree bends in the storm, except it never stood back upright so it had to be tied up. It reminded me of what the Bible says …

The Careful Love of Our Father
Weeding and trimming bushes for an elderly couple. As I was trimming bushes, I had to be precise/careful, as to not cut off any flowers. Because of this, I did not use hedge trimmers and was able to find a small bird in the bush. The bird was kept safe by God, for in The …
The Desire of The Bridegroom
When we finally enter glory with our Beloved God, Jesus, He will be excited to see us! Jesus will not look upon us with disdain or discouragement, nor with any negativity. When we, as God promises, "shall see His face," there will be great joy in heaven. Zephaniah tells us, "The LORD thy God in …
A Prayer to God
I cry out to God,for the blazing radiance of God's eternal Sonto burn within my bones,to burn within my heart,to burn within my bowels, within my mind,to create a tongue of eternal fire;a pillar of God's consuming heat resting on my head andI ache for the bliss of His presence,the bliss of His words, i …
