Gen. 8:22 – While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease. I had to learn quickly about provision when the Lord called me to pioneer a church in New Orleans in 1979. I had spent my previous six years as a …
Psa. 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! One of my big challenges throughout my Christian experience has been waiting on the Lord. I have a natural tendency, like many of us, to take matters into my own hands. How many times do I have …
MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS Luke 7:11-15 – “Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from …

Matt. 14:28,29 ¶ And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. Walk on the water?! Really?! That’s what I felt the Lord was asking me to …
Psa. 40:1 ¶ I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. From time to time I pull out classic Christian books that effected me in my earliest days as a Christian. One of those books is Waiting on God by Andrew Murray. Murray had a profound understanding of prayer …
Psa. 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” This verse has been special to me for many years. It was actually the one the Lord used to speak to me in 1977 that ultimately landed me back home in …
