    Anxious Hope

    Romans 8:18 - 39

    All creation groans and suffers
    longing for the freedom
    of redemption -
    discovering the sons of God
    And the children groan and suffer
    hoping for the glory
    of redemption -
    adopted as the sons of God
    While the Spirit groans in sorrow
    searching as he prays
    for redemption -
    changed into the sons of God

    “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? […]

    Finding Faith

    Reflections from Job 23:10-14; Psalm 22:1-5; and Hebrews 4:12-16
    When I read the words of the scriptures in the above passages, I am reminded of the deep feelings of grief and sorrow that Job and David experienced. Job, the perfect man, as the Bible says, was feeling abandoned by God. David felt as if God had […]

    The Truth About Transformation

    I just read a “classic” article by John Ortberg this morning on spiritual transformation. (I think classic refers to anything written that predates the current fascination with said subject). That article strikes a resounding chord deep within my own spirit. I have been wrestling over the same concepts and just yesterday spent a couple of […]

    LOVE (III)

    by George Herbert
    Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
    Guilty of dust and sin.
    But quick-ey’d Love, observing me grow slack
    From my first entrance in,
    Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
    If I lack’d anything.
    “A guest,” I answer’d, “worthy to be here”;
    Love said, “You shall be he.”
    “I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
    I cannot look on […]

    Affliction

    Broken in pieces all asunder,
    Lord, hunt me not,
    A thing forgot,
    Once a poor creature, now a wonder,
    A wonder tortur’d in the space
    Betwixt this world and that of grace.
    My thoughts are all a case of knives,
    Wounding my heart
    With scatter’d smart,
    As wat’ring pots give flowers their lives.
    Nothing their fury can control,
    While they do wound and prick my soul.
    All […]

    Saturday Song: And Now My Lifesong Sings

    I once was lost, but now I’m found
    I once was lost, but now I’m found
    So far away, but I’m home now
    I once was lost, but now I’m found
    And now my lifesong sings
    I once was blind, but now I see
    I once was blind, but now I see
    I don’t know how, but when He touched me
    I […]
