Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Don't settle, Amigos! The last sentence of Acts Chapter 1 reads, “They drew names to choose an apostle. Matthias was chosen and joined the eleven apostles.

Within just a few more verses, the same guys who … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Sunday Blessing: Stay Hungry

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness. (1 Peter 2:2-3 NLT)

Sing With the Spirit

For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don't understand what I am saying. Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit, and I will also pray in words I understand.

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Church is an "us" Thing. For years, I have heard folks say variations on this theme, “I have a relationship with God. It is private and personal. I don’t need to go to church.” Assuming these individuals are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they have been born of the Spirit (John 3:6), then … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Sunday Morning Blessing

These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (1 Timothy 3:14-15 … Continue reading Sunday Morning Blessing

Pressing Through Pride

These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o'clock in the morning is much too early for that. No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: (Acts 2:15-16 NLT) Sunday we had several visitors. That's a big deal for a small church in Arizona in June. As … Continue reading Pressing Through Pride
