I’ve been studying the book of Ezekiel for my daily reading. There are some profound truths and beautiful discoveries if we take a moment to listen to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to teach us more about the Word. Ezekiel 37 is especially full of Godly wisdom and truth. The prophet Ezekiel stood in a valley carpeted with bones—sun-bleached, disconnected, utterly lifeless. God asked him a haunting question: “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel’s answer was both honest and hopeful: “Sovereign LORD, you alone know” (Ezekiel 37:3). This wasn’t just a vision about Israel’s restoration from exile. It’s a picture Read More

From Grass to Grace: Lessons from Your Lawn
I was awakened early this morning by someone mowing their lawn. As I lay there listening to the roar of that engine, I thought about how mowing the lawn relates to our walk of faith.

Things could be so much worst. One of my favorite scriptures on thankfulness is Psalm 136. The Word of God challenges us to always giving thanks because God is always so faithful and His mercy (loving-kindness) endures forever. This Read More
Remember the Blood
Today, April 8, 2020, is the first day of Passover. In Exodus 12:13, God gave us a promise. He said, When I see the Blood, I will Passover you. That horrible plague of death will not harm you. Remember the Blood. During this season, when we are obeying government authorities and staying at home because of a deadly plague (COVID-19), we can still obey what God said about the Blood. This is what the Word tells us about the Blood: Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you Read More
