For All People

In 1 Kings 8 Solomon is dedicating the just completed temple to God. A great assembly is gathered “from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God (1 Kings 8:65).” The priests have “brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary […]

Prayer Journey — Rejection

I pray this morning that those who reject you dear God would get a glimpse of you today. May your light break through the darkness and illumine their soul if even for a moment. I pray the evidence of your existence would compel them to seek you. May your presence become more evident when they […]

Prayer Journey — Silent Roar

In the noise of the day Among the clamor of humanity As the people rush to and fro I hear you dear God You are always there I hear your gentle voice call It whispers among the noise I stop my furious pace and listen “Be still” I hear God say The words sink into […]

#WednesdayWalk —Sober Truth

I felt fortunate to finally hear this man speak. So many talked about Paul and his devotion to a dead man named Jesus. I stood with the others in the auditorium as Paul was brought in. He looked nothing like the radical I envisioned. The room fell silent as Festus explained to King Agrippa that […]
