A Quick Muse on Ephesians 1.19
I have been studying Ephesians for some time now. As I have been saturating in 1.19-23 I have been amazed that the power of God which is working/flowing in our lives (v.19) is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! This is not some minuscule power that can be tapped – it is an unlimited and incomprehensible power which cannot be contained or stood against. Read more
As Sweet as Honey
Have you ever filled a spoon with honey and let it dance on your taste buds? I love honey – in my tea, on bread, mixed in with peanut butter for lunch – however it might come I take great delight in it. Isn’t it interesting that several times throughout Scripture, the Word is compared to honey? Read more
The Man (and Woman) God Uses

Six Must Read Biographies
I tend to read a lot. And of all that I read, Christian biographies are probably one of my favorite genres. So I asked myself if I got lost or thrown in prison, what three biographies would I choose to keep me company? Tough, real tough.

These six have influenced and changed my life more than most. Though they are in no particular order, if you haven’t read Christian biographies, I would suggest reading them in the order given.

Delight of Holiness
I have been incredibly, absolutely, and perfectly overwhelmed by the writings of Samuel Brengle as of late. This preacher of Truth and holiness from yesteryear has grabbed my heart and mind and thrown me at the foot of the Cross. Recently I picked up his book “Helps to Holiness” and was awestruck and convicted at what he wrote … in the introduction. May we each have a grander and more glorious view of Jesus, His life, and the holiness He wants to produce in and through us! May these words of my dear friend Brengle ignite, challenge, and uplift your soul. Read more
Owls and First Graders
A couple days ago I was subbing for an art class. I have a passion and heart for teenagers and thus have only substituted for middle and high school teachers. But this art class happened to contain, smack-dab in the middle of the day, a room full of a dozen delighted-inquisitive first graders. Read more
