1Th. 5:5-7 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at …
1Th. 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Today’s verse is quite powerful in light of the times we live in. Our world is deteriorating before our eyes. No surprises, everything is progressing just as the Lord has said it would. …
CLOTHED IN LIGHT Now it is high time to awake out of sleep; . . . let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light—Romans 13:11-12 David said that God Himself wore light like a garment. Psa. 104:2 covering yourself with light as with a garment, …
Gal. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and himself for me. We are all a strange mixture of beliefs, feelings, …

Psa. 51:11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Pastoring a Holy Ghost church I sometimes forget what a privilege it is to have God’s presence among us. I guess the old saying is true, “you don’t know what you’ve got until it is gone”. …
Acts 17:25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. Somehow we always get it backwards. It has been said the kingdom of God is that upside down kingdom, I tend to agree. The natural, unrenewed mind wants to …
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. I wonder what would happen if Christians began to live as if they really believed in another world beyond this one. We all say we believe in life after death and say that we …
Psa. 51:8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. This verse reminds me of a car ride to some revival services in St. Louis, Missouri in the fall of 1994. Parris and I were riding in the car to the evening meeting listening to Christian music. Suddenly it …
