At work, we have a lost and found box. It is usually brimming with “stuff” that people have left behind, some small but some of value. But most items languish, either the person doesn’t realize the thing is missing or more likely, where it went missing. They don’t even ask. Luke 19:10 For the Son [...]

No Room

When people are grieving or anxious, they will often say, “I just keep busy to keep my mind off of it.” And, in those situations, being busy sounds reasonable. But I’m thinking this filling up of the mind with stuff may be interfering with the healing work of God. Psalm 10:4 In his pride the [...]
5 Steps to Healing

Thirty two years ago, I responded to a nation-wide call to Christians around the country to fast and pray in Washington, D.C. II Chronicles 7:14 was the keystone verse to that call and that day became known as Washington for Jesus. I arrived with national hope for healing but left with disappointment. II Chronicles 7:14 [...]
Suffering: Go Ahead?
Posted in Ordinary Time, tagged Christ, faith healing, faithfulness, Genesis 18:33, healing, heaven, holiness, holiness is wholeness, hope, I Kings 18;45, II Kings 1:10, pain, Peter, suffering, wholeness on September 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If there’s anyone out there who seeks suffering, raise your hand. That’s what I thought. The view of suffering put forth so strongly by Peter is one of the reasons “suffering” has been elevated, in some circles, to holiness. I can’t line up with this completely. I Peter 4:1 SO, SINCE Christ suffered in the [...]
To Know Christ

To know . . . to know . . . to know. What does it mean to know Christ? What does it mean to know the power of his resurrection? And what does it mean to know the fellowship of his sufferings? I mean, really! Philippians 3:10a I want to know Christ and the power [...]
Humility in the Miracles

People who are regularly used of God in miraculous ways do not need to talk about it. It’s the one-shot Sally’s who go on and on about the marvel. I’ve been guilty of this myself–not good. II Corinthians 12:5-6 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except [...]
Captive Thoughts

Who wants to be held captive? Just the idea of it makes me want to run the other way. Like most people of our culture, this sounds like the opposite of freedom. Ah, it’s another paradox of the faith: captivity is freedom in the realm of Christ. II Corinthians 10:5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments [...]
