Living in the Context of God
Each day you live, you live in the context of the world Jesus created. From the first man Adam, He created each person to live on the earth. He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek Him and reach out for Him and...
New Day, New Year
Welcome to the first day of a New Year. Jesus loves you. This is the day, (in the long line of all the days) that Jesus has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! His mercies are new today and will be new tomorrow! Jesus will carry you thru each day: the day of good...
The Light of the World
"In Him (Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome." John 1:4-5 His life brings light, clarity, freedom, purpose, hope joy, peace and LIFE into our lives.
Singing to Me
I recently discovered a new artist: Parker Millsap. At a recent GloryLit Worship Night, we did a song he wrote called "Your Water." (You can watch him sing it here at the one minute mark) But another song he wrote called "Singing to Me" keeps running through my heart...
Unlikely Glory
Where would you expect to find, the glory of the Lord? Where nothing tarnished ever touched, or feet have 'ere explored? How about upon the highest hill where air is thin but pure, And the hind's back feet can surely step among where eagles soar? Where would...
Walking and Free
Imagine with me that it’s about 2000 years ago and we are at someone's home. Of course it looks different, but nonetheless, just a regular house. We have all gathered here because we heard that a guy named Jesus was going to be here teaching. At this point, people in...
Freedom in Creating
Ever feel discouraged because of your lack of talent in one area or another? You see that God has given you a desire to do something creatively, but "it will never be good enough" or "as good as" someone else. Does it stop you from trying to do "that thing" that you...
Light & Life (Part 2)
“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days...
Light & Life (Part 1)
“The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening [giving light to] the eyes.” Psalm 19:8 How often do you think about light? By the grace of God, we have been given the sun with earth’s very predictable pattern of rotation around it. Because of this, our daily...
The Mess God Uses
I’m a mess. I don’t always look it on the outside because I take care to be (what I consider anyway) presentable, and as God has gifted me with joy (with some fear of man mixed in) I’m usually smiling. But just like everyone else, I’m a bundle of sin,...
Christ in you, the hope of glory…
I've always been of 2 minds about mysteries. I love the anticipation and the puzzle involved in figuring them out, but sometimes the path to and even the ending itself leave much to be desired! There is a glorious and priceless mystery that God has now begun to...
The Glory of God in the face of Christ
Have you ever experienced the glory of God? Ezekiel did, and in response, he fell on his face (Ez 1:28). Job did and it motivated him to repentance in dust and ashes (Job 41:6). Isaiah saw glory of God filling the temple and, the contrast of...
