A Steady Stream
“Next Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it. Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger, which the Devil took advantage of in the first test: “Since you…

Watermelon Seeds
One year, about 25 years ago, I decided I would grow some watermelons. I bought a packet of seeds, prepared part of our back yard, mixing some sand into the Iowa dirt. I planted the seeds according to the packet instructions and checked on my “crop” every day. I was excited to see the plants…

The Gardens
Arrogance, insolence, audacity, pride, smugness, haughtiness… You’ll find these, back long ago, in the Garden. They set the stage for the Downfall, the Rebellion.

An Open Letter To Worship Teams (part 2)
“Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?” And the Lord said, “Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.” So Judah said…

“Drop Kick Me Jesus…”
“Drop kick me Jesus…” A cute little song by Bobby Bare. God NEVER intended for His people to barely make it through this life and into the next, without a testimony of His power and victory evident in their life. “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His…
