There is a beautiful verse that the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 51, verse 7. It reads:
Ps. 51:7 “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
When we ask God to cleanse us, He does. He washes us and purifies us, even more so then [...]

Telling the Lord You Can’t (Matt. 19:26)
September 29th, 2008With God it is alright to say, “I can’t”. No matter how hard we try, sometimes we just can’t do the impossible without Him. It’s alright to confess our failures and declare His majesty. Even Jesus said,
Matt. 19:26 “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
When we accept [...]
The Love of a Son for a Father (Mark 12:30)

The More Abundant Life (John 10:10)

Clothed in God’s Righteousness
August 22nd, 2008There is an interesting passage in the Old Testament, book of Isaiah, where the prophet Isaiah is standing before God, only to discover that he naked and at fault.

But despite [...]
Enjoying Our Work with God (1 Thess. 5:12)
August 19th, 2008Our labor in the Lord is one of great delight. We need not be burdened and toiled as the world is. In fact, we can see from Genesis, that one of the curses on man was the toil and labor of his physical activity. Because of his disobedience, he was destined to “eat his bread” [...]
