Come Sit Awhile With Me
We live in a very fast-paced world with many urgent and non-urgent voices pulling on our time and energy. It becomes more and more clear that we need to be intentional about hearing the one voice that can answer all other voices - the voice of Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 14:10 There are so many kinds of voices in the world, and all have there own distinct power of expression and meaning There is the voice of challenging circumstances, the voice of financial lack, the voice of
Rest Pt. 2
The atmosphere on the flight from Amsterdam to Nigeria was very tense after the local police came on board at the last minute escorting a handcuffed prisoner through the back door. The prisoner was a Nigerian man who had overstayed his visa and they were deporting him back to his country. Suddenly the prisoner began to yell, “I am not a criminal, I am not a criminal!” The passengers in the back of the plane where we were seated were immediately upset and chaos was the res
FRIEND COME UP HIGHER
It is so wonderful to sometimes just stop the business of life and its demands and deadlines and focus on the reality of where we are seated in Christ!

There is a place where we can live by faith, knowing that God
From The Inside Out
When a person understands that they are made righteous by the blood of Jesus, our view of how we approach God changes from a sense of unworthiness to a sense of confidence; even as a child approaches a loving father. Romans 4:24 But for us also it shall be counted (Like Abraham who because he believed it was counted unto him as righteousness) if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; (vs25) who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for o
As Jesus Is…So Are We
Our life as believers is not about our efforts to imitate Jesus. He lived His life with a unique set of circumstances. That being said, we could never hope to live His life any more than we could live any other person’s life for them. The life of a believer is about allowing Christ to express His life through us! He does all the work and we rest in His finished work! The Bible reveals to us in Hebrews 4:1 that “God has offered us the promise that we may receive the rest H
