Daily Walk
Meeting God
Great God, in public and private, in sanctuary and home, may my life be steeped in prayer, filled with the spirit of grace and supplication, each prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood. Help me, defend me, until from praying ground I pass to the realm of unceasing praise. Urged by my need, invited […]
The Joy of a Husband
The world today whispers and yells to us that our pleasure, security and contentment are the cornerstones of a happy, healthy marriage. In fact, the grounds for divorce in most instances are labeled as “incompatibility” and “unable to get along”. If one carefully lifts up the labels will find that the true reason is simple […]
All or Nothing…
Paul Washer is probably one of my favorite preachers right along with Piper, Noblit and MacArthur. In this short clip from a missions conference Paul Washer speaks the truth with such passion. This is a message that must be heard….
The Dark Trials
“Reader, if God has given you His only begotten Son, beware of doubting His kindness and love, in any painful providence of your daily life! Never allow yourself to think hard thoughts of God. Never suppose that He can give you anything which is not really for your good. Remember the words of Paul: “He who spared not His […]
Receiving Jesus…
Lest They Should be Puffed Up
Temptations serve to abase the servant of God, and to bring him down in his own conceit, that he be not proud of those things that are in him, or puffed up with conceit that there is more in him than indeed there is. This we saw in Paul’s example: he was buffeted of Satan, […]
Blessings

In Him All Things Hold Together
Confession & Petition
From “The Valley of Vision” - a collection of Puritan prayers. (If you don’t own this little book I encourage you to get it… it is amazing!)
Holy LORD,
I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, of failure to find thy mind in Thy Word, of neglect to seek Thee in […]
Distractions
True Discernment has an excellent post on the importance of overcoming distractions in the life of the Christian. As they put it, “Among the enemies to devotion none is so harmful as distractions.” I could not agree more. Our lives are plagued with cellphones, meetings, the internet, emails, errands - all of which are a […]
American Idol “Shouts to the Lord”
Ok, I admit - the wife and I love to watch American Idol. I was in my home office tonight studying for class tomorrow and as tonight’s American Idol episode was ending I heard the contestants singing “Shout to the Lord”. I had to get up and go in the den to watch this one! […]
Some Recommended Reading…
Thought I would take a moment to share a few books I am reading right now that I find excellent and a recommended read. I’m the type that has to be reading 5-6 books at one time - which for me works well to pull elements from the different books. So here are the ones […]
