God’s Glory Is on Tour in the Skies -Psalm 19

God’s Glory Is on Tour in the Skies -Psalm 19

Psalm 19 (The Message, emphasis mine) 1-2 God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. 3-4 Their words aren’t heard, their voices aren’t recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. 4-5 God makes a huge dome for the sun—a superdome! The morning sun’s a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to…

Listen to This Prayer of Mine, God! -Psalm 143

Listen to This Prayer of Mine, God! -Psalm 143

Psalm 143 (the Message, emphasis mine) 1-2 Listen to this prayer of mine, God; pay attention to what I’m asking. Answer me—you’re famous for your answers! Do what’s right for me. But don’t, please don’t, haul me into court; not a person alive would be acquitted there. 3-6 The enemy hunted me down; he kicked me and stomped me within an inch of my life. He put me in a black hole, buried me like a corpse in that dungeon….

Me – A Temple of The Holy Spirit?

Me – A Temple of The Holy Spirit?

Do you have some difficult faith topics that you push away from your mind as much as you can? I bet you do. I think we all do. One of my challenging faith concepts has long time been ‘our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit’. Not because I would not agree with the statement. But because it is humbling to think that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! Or didn’t you realize that your body is a…

You know me inside and out – Psalm 139

 Psalm 139 (The Message)1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.    I’m an open book to you;       even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.    You know when I leave and when I get back;       I’m never out of your sight.    You know everything I’m going to say       before I start the first sentence.    I look behind me and you’re there,       then up ahead and you’re there, too—       your reassuring presence, coming and going.    This is too much,…

Live Humbly – Detect Divinity (Quest for God’s Will, part 4/4)

Live Humbly – Detect Divinity (Quest for God’s Will, part 4/4)

Jesus said, “Don’t bicker among yourselves over me. You’re not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me—that’s the only way you’ll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End. This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, ‘And then they will all be personally taught by God.’ Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to…

Live Well – From the Shadows to the Substance (Quest for God’s Will, part 2/4)

Live Well – From the Shadows to the Substance (Quest for God’s Will, part 2/4)

In essence, following God, being a disciple of Jesus Christ & living in the Holy Spirit is what leads us to find God’s will. It’s not more complicated than that and at the same time it is very confusing. It takes time to learn to live in God’s grace. It takes trust to wait on God’s timing. But there is not some mystical formula we need to figure out. You don’t need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to…

Looking For God’s Will?- Steep Yourself in God-Reality (Quest for God’s Will, part 1/4)

Looking For God’s Will?- Steep Yourself in God-Reality (Quest for God’s Will, part 1/4)

Jesus is calling you and me to be his followers:“Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? (Luke 9:23-26, MSG) Jesus has…
