Hello there! This blog writing is interesting to me, because I have absolutely NO idea who my audience is, or if I even have one. Only twice has anyone commented. This is no complaint from me. I almost like not knowing how busy, or dormant this site is. Its less tempting for me to be [...]

Aloneness

Not feeling too well today. Its interesting that in the midst of suffering physical aliments, do I feel a deep connectedness with the Lord. It is during these times, am I crying out from the depths of my soul and am met there in my tears and anguish by the Lord, in such a way [...]
But His Mercies Are New!

The Lord continues to multiply grace, mercy, peace, blessing and revelation of Himself to me. For truly, He withholds no good thing to those who walk uprightly. The recent days have been marked by joy and great sorrow. My soul has seen the morning (ps 30). My spirit has entered into the rest and comfort [...]
When There Is No Joy

Thomas Watson, “God has no design upon us, but to make us happy” and “Who should be cheerful if not the people of God?” William Gurnall wrote, “To see a wicked man merry, or a Christian sad, is alike uncomely.” Richard Sibbes, “Those that look to be happy, must first look to be holy.” Its [...]
The Humility of Moses

Deuteronomy 4 is CRAZY. Well, let me start at ch 3:23-29. I was struck by the Lord’s authoritative demand for Moses. To think, how seriously the Lord takes man’s sin. He is holy. So holy, that Israel’s sin provoked Moses to sin, and consequently not enter into the Promised Land. In my own sinfulness, I [...]
A Modern Day Habakkuk

This is a blog from September 9 of this year. I hope you find it encouraging. My circumstances seem contrary to the moral and character of God. I am experiencing the inevitable fellowship of suffering with Christ. As I live, I suffer, now confronted with tragedy. The challenge is to form a theology of suffering [...]
I Need Belief

I have come to the faith, am living and will enter glory by the Reality of who God is, what He has done through Christ in securing and sustaining my faith, and what He has promised in His Holy Word concerning Himself. These objective truths are all that I have. Yet when you look at [...]
Then Let It Be So

So, I am new to this blogging thing, and have no idea where to start. The last blog, was an entry from my journal that I wanted to share, so that you could get a small glimpse into this season of my life. I know I was not explicit, and you may still be left [...]
Worse Than Leprosy?

(older blog) I found myself thumbing through past journal entries, and could not help but to marvel at the faithfulness of the Lord, and the fickle, neediness of myself. However, I am refreshed in recounting the works of our Lord. Oftentimes do I have the tendency to pour out my heart before the Lord is [...]
Press on

Philippians 3:12-15 In this pericope, Paul uses the analogy of a runner to describe the Christian’s spiritual growth. The believer has not reached his goal of Christ-likeness (vss 20,21), but must, like the runner in a race, continue to pursue it. That this is the goal of every believer is also clear from Romans 8:29, [...]
