Meanwhile..be blessed...enjoy the day and Memorial weekend...and know...that He is Good and Faithful and continues to look for hearts that He can show Himself strong to. :-) 2 Chron. 16:9

  I can’t walk on water.  I have not yet....tried changing water in to wine. ;-)  And if you ask my wife, I still leave clothes on the bed instead of hanging them up regularly, which she would prefer; and I don’t shave every day, another thing she wishes I would do.   I’ve not swung a golf club in a while but doubt I could shoot a perfect par game if I went out and played this weekend; and I doubt I would beat anyone in a game of H.O.R.S.E. on the basketball court.   But I can tell you that I am walking in more freedom than I ever have walked before. And I only have one person to thank for that and it is Jesus.   I would in no way suggest that He has ‘completed’ His work in me but the more I study, the more I experience, and the more I write and share with you here, the easier it gets for me to declare with no hesitation or apologies...”He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed”. (John 8:36)   We were called to be free. (Gal. 5:13...

  10.24.21- Every story of redemption has a genesis, a beginning. As does your story. Perhaps it has yet to take place, let alone, be told. All our stories are different yet they share one remarkable trait: They are defining. How can they not be when God is the author?  Not long ago I pictured this scenario in my head of a group of notable figures I had read about in the bible sitting around a table. They were sharing their defining stories as to how their lives were forever changed by an encounter with Jesus, the Messiah. I could hear Paul talking of his journey  to Damascus. Fresh off the heels of overseeing the stoning of Stephen the martyr, he was knocked to the ground and the voice of God spoke to him from a light shining from heaven. (Acts 9) It is a remarkable story of conversion.  Then I could hear, sitting next to Paul, this other man who had been blind from birth begin to share his incredible encounter that began with someone (Jesus) opening his ey...

  “What do you mean by saying, ‘You will be made free’?” I would think that’s a fair question asked by some Jews who actually believed what Jesus was telling them. (John 8:31-33) We don’t really know if these where Pharisees or religious leaders since all we are told there was that Jesus was talking to “those Jews who believed Him”. I guess they were tracking pretty well until Jesus got to this part about them ‘knowing truth and the truth would set them free’. (32). That was when they ‘blinked’. “We are descendants of Abraham...we’ve never been in bondage to anyone.” Do you think they might have been dealing with some memory loss here? I mean, really...it is rather well documented how the Jews were in bondage for a long time living as slaves in Egypt and under the control of Pharaoh. Remember the story of Moses whom God sent to deliver them and lead them out of slavery? Exodus 12:40 suggest they were in Egypt for some 430 years. But I’m not judging them for making that claim g...
