Compassion on Parade
From Scripture, we discover that God is love. It is the essence of who God is. We also learn that His love is bigger than the Universe. Bigger than two septillion stars. It would stand to reason then, that His compassion, the expression of His love, would also be deeper, wider, and fuller than any tongue could tell. In fact, the writers of the New Testament had to coin a new word, just to try and express God’s compassion as seen in…

He Makes Me Lie Down…
In the 23rd Psalm, we read that the Good Shepherd makes us lie down in green pastures. Sheep will only lie down if they are not fearful, have no strife in the flock, are not bothered by pests, and are not hungry. The reality is that in order for this to happen the Shepherd must be in their midst, providing what is needed. As with sheep, so it is with us. If we are distracted, discontent, disturbed, and starving we need…

Worship and the Little Horn
Daniel declares in the midst of the prophecy that the essential reality is Worship. Daniel, his three friends, Nebuchadnezzar and all the kings and their wisemen, were confronted with worship. Will I be faithful or will I be wanting? In Chapters 7 and 8 a new entity arises, a “Little Horn” that opposes God and faithful worship, but instead wants to be worshiped. This entity shows up at the end of time (Revelation 13) and once again God’s faithful are…
Salvation in No Other Name!
Many times we humans forget that Salvation is a “GIFT”. We forget that Salvation began in a manger and ended on a cross. Reality however, shows the miserable state of man without Christ. Humanity is vile, deformed, and leprous with sin. Jesus, and only Jesus can rescue us from the penalty of our sinful state. We must recognize this and surrender our deformed selves to His grace, love and mercy. Then and only then, can we share this miracle of…

Daniel 4: Testimony of a Monarch
Nebuchadnezzar was the monarch of the Golden World Power Babylon and the builder of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. He had a problem with pride and self-worship. Today we all strive to be the king or queen of our own little kingdoms. We all struggle with pride and self-worship. Just like King Nebuchadnezzar we need to humble ourselves before the King of Kings and ask Him to give humility and love for all people. Scripture: Daniel 4, Revelation…
