"For Such A Time As This" (Esther 4:14)
TRUSTING GOD IN TIMES OF PERIL
I suspect that every mother desires great things for her children, that they will grow up and become successful, dignified, someone who others respect and look up to, someone a mother can be proud of. No mother had greater aspirations for this than Mrs. Zebedee, the mother of Jesus’ disciples, James and John, also known […]
When I think of peace or Shalom from a Biblical perspective, I cannot imagine a more precious commodity to be in possession of. A tranquil mind, an unburdened conscience, rest in our soul and uninterrupted, ever-increasing joy and gladness in our hearts and lives were what we were created for. Yet, because of sin, we

This was originally posted in December 2022. I have made some minor revisions. Grace is one of the most glorious, pervasive and essential truths in the Bible. It is why I am a Christian. And, according to scripture, it is the only reason anyone is a Christian (Ephesians 2:4-5). I previously wrote on the glory

We are told in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 that in the last days, the days between Jesus’ resurrection and second coming, men/mankind will become increasingly depraved and degenerate. We are provided with a list of how that depravity will be manifested and it includes being unthankful. I personally see this very clearly in our society today,

The promise of eternal life, escape from perishing forever in the second death, and restoration to the glorious life and relationship with God for which man was created and lost because of sin, is a great and precious promise made by the eternal, triune God who created us for His glory; to know and behold

Human life is inherently precious. Man was created by God in the image and likeness of God, crowned with glory and honor such that we would know and be known by God, love and be loved by God, enjoy and be enjoyed by God, not as divine equals but as beloved children, trusting in the

In my previous post I began to look at Jesus’ imperative statement in John 4:24 regarding our worship of God, our acknowledgement and pursuit of Him as the object of our deepest love and source of our greatest joy. In this passage Jesus states that “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship
The worship of our infinitely glorious God comes to life for us in the book of Revelation wherein we are given a portal into the spiritual world to see, through apocalyptic symbolism, that Heaven is a place of unending worship of God by both the Holy angels and most importantly by those men and women

One of the more interesting and enlightening interactions Jesus has with a person during His three plus year ministry on earth is found in John 4:1-42. Here we have Jesus initiating a public interaction with a woman, and not any woman but a Samaritan woman. His doing so would have made this a highly scandalous

The above title is not an invitation to behold – to gaze intently upon – to give full attention to the object of our worship, although this would be most appropriate if the object of our worship is Jesus Christ (John 1:14) (Hebrews 12:2) (Colossians 3:1-2). In fact, it is only in beholding Him that
