God has already promised He would dwell among His people. His presence is the best promise and it reassures us.
If we grieve the Holy Spirit and shut the door on the promise of His presence, then we miss out on His presence and the blessing He brings.
How often we seek God’s hand for blessing instead of for God’s face in order to see God Himself? God is to be our main pursuit. The way into the fullness of blessing is not by seeking...
There are so many voices telling us how to live. What’s right. What’s wrong. And much of it opposed what the Bible mandates as right or wrong. They are trying to take gender off of birth certificates.
Isaiah 5:20-21
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!

God has built rest into our biological makeup. We have to sleep. We have to stop and rest our bodies and minds.
God modeled rest for us during creation. God rested after He created the world implying that His creative work is complete and He now rules over it. He didn’t design us to strive all the time. Rest is a divine gift from God.

On the first day of the job, newly-installed priest Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, failed to obey the proper practice God had commanded. What they did is referred to as “strange fire” on the altar. What does this mean for us today?

Many times when people reference Jesus cleansing the temple in
John 2, they reference Jesus’ anger. But there is so much more going on—mainly the reason behind Jesus’ anger. And the story is not just a historical account, but a call for you to want everyone to have access to Jesus.

It's so easy to read the story of the golden calf in the Old Testament and think the Israelites were so ridiculous for worshipping a statue. Given the culture of that time, it made perfect sense to them. Looking at the story in context and in the culture of the Ancient Near East, you'll see how easy it is to erect idols--and how ridiculous your own idols are today.

There's a dangerous theology creeping up in Christianity where people proclaim that they love Jesus without the church.
You can’t love Jesus and hate the church.
According to Scripture, the church is the bride of Christ . When we talk down about the church, we are referring to Jesus’s bride. We cannot think for one moment that Jesus is okay with Christians making disparaging remarks about the bride of Christ...
It can be easy to think that your walk with God is personal. But as a Christian every thing we do affects other people. In this episode, I share five commands related to the phrase "one another" and how we can incorporate this important topic into our lives as Christian.

Living water in jars of clay—that’s essentially what wells are when mentioned in the Bible. Jesus is the living water that flows out of believers who are walking wells in this earth. The stone that Jacob rolled off of the mouth of the well foreshadows the rolling away of the great stone from Jesus’ tomb. But this stone will never have to be put back over the well again. Living water flows into eternity for both Jew and Gentile.Ever...
God promised the children of Israel a land flowing with milk and honey as they wandered in the wilderness for decades. And just as they were on the cusp of crossing over into it, a group rose up and asked to stay in nearby cities east of the Jordan because the land was beneficial for their flocks. Instead of moving into their Promised Land, they opted for ease and peace in the border land. What they saw was enough for them rather t...
Most of us are waiting for something from God. And most of us think waiting sucks.
But it’s in the wait that we learn from God and about God. This microwave society makes waiting seem unnecessary . But waiting provides lessons that we can’t get any other way, strengthens us, makes us realize God makes things happen—not us.

As the people of Jericho were shut in, it describes not only a physical defense, but it also represents a resistance to the plans of God.
Comfort can create a place that you don’t want to leave. A place that closes you off to the new that God wants to do. In America we live in a land of plenty, a land of comfort. If our comfortable circumstances change, our comfort level changes. Don’t depend on your walls of comfort and ease—especi...
The word "unity" conjures up images of a utopian world. In a perfect world, unity would reign among nations, people groups, marriages, and in relationships. Sadly, the world we live in is a broken world full of broken relationships. Since the fall, every human has lived in broken relationships with others and God. But God’s aim for us has always been unity—both with Him and with each other. So how are we to strive for uni...
What an exciting moment in Israel's history the return to Jerusalem after exile must have been. The Israelite nation endured seventy long years in captivity, and then in the blink of an eye, God turned things around. They could hardly believe it. It was too good to be true—except it was. God is in the restoration business and we need to believe this for our lives as well.

As servants of Jesus, we are all on a pilgrimage. The idea of pilgrimage paints the picture of traveling upon a path that is marked out and set before us to make an upward journey. This is not about blazing our own trails to God, but about walking in the well-worn path of faith of Jesus Christ and the saints before us.

We must learn to open God’s book—the Bible. God has spoken so our aim is to try to understand what God has said. The more we study the Word, the more freely the light comes. “The unfolding of your words gives light” means that God’s Word gives light, but also that this light grows increasingly with our understanding of the Word. As you allow God’s Word into your heart through studying and meditating on it, your heart is flooded wit...
God uses humble and simple saints for the purpose of advancing His kingdom through His appointed plans.

The book of Judges tells us everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Right is the same word for judge—to make straight. Every single person determined what “right” was. This led to anarchy.
This is a dangerous, lawless time marked by moral in decline. At the beginning of the period there is no clear leader to follow Joshua, and by the end there is no leader at all.
The book of Judges includes some of the worst stories of the Bib...
