God always has a plan. Philippians 1.12-14
Christianity was in trouble . . . or so it seemed. The spreading of the Gospel had come to a screeching halt . . . or so it seemed. The teacher, the pastor, the main man had not just been arrested, but he had been transported to…

A treasured letter.
Twenty-one hundred miles from home … and upon my arrival, not knowing a single soul. It was quite an experience—mostly a good one. See, I had chosen to go to a Christian liberal arts college in…

Most people do not pray with authority. Most people do not even know they have authority and power to access when they pray. So here’s the scoop, Christian—at the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry, he told the people to pray for things ‘in his name’. In his name there is authority, to be sure; but in his name, there is also…

I had been looking ahead, anticipating talking about love in today’s Morning Briefing … Paul’s love for the Philippians, and because of his heart full of good will for them, how it was his earnest desire that their love would continue to grow and deepen and … well as he said himself, “I pray that your love may abound more and more…” So yesterday, I sat there on the stationary bike…

Good Morning!

Peace is a sought-after thing—often elusive in this day and age. Now I am not talking about the absence of war, or the absence of violence, but rather the state of inner tranquility, of serenity. Actually, peace is peddled in many ways, and people are willing to do just about anything to get it! Aromatherapy, self-help books, yoga, relaxation, stress-relief techniques,…

Back on August 30th, in a Morning Briefing entitled “The Deeper Life”, I wrote that I believe God is calling you and me to live just that—the deeper life. To let our roots go down deeply into the rich foundations of the living Word of God, like the Psalm One man. “He delights in the teachings of the Lord and reflects on his teachings day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams—a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he…

Are you ready….ready to sink your teeth into Scripture? ‘Ready to open your heart to the Holy Spirit and let him grow you? ‘Ready to have some set-apart time to spend with your Lord?

Not so quick! It would be easy to glance at the last chapter of Romans and think, ‘oh, Paul is just greeting a number of folks…we can pass on that.’ There are some great things to note; take a look:

It seems that Paul has always been a man with a plan. And as we draw to the close of his letter to the Romans, he makes his plans known. His calling has been to preach the Gospel where it had not been taught and leave the rest to someone else. He has a plan for the current space in time, and what comes next. Paul also values the support of fellow believers, enlisting…
