The word I heard this past weekend was hard, heartbreaking, but it was exactly what I needed. Thank You, Lord, for Your perfect care for us. The conference this weekend in Leiden was on Being Saved in Life by Reigning in Life for the Body Life. The last messages was on Joseph’s reigning in life […]
forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to what is before
“I do not account of myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do: Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, I pursue toward the goal” (Philippians 3:12-14a).

Consecrating Ourselves – the meaning, basis, and purpose of our consecration

Actually, right after man was created, God blessed them and said “be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth…” So […]

One of my favorite songs begins with “There are times in my life when my heart is embittered, there are questions unanswered, yet You are drawing me to enter into Your blessed sanctuary…”, and ends with “let each experience constitute me, so Your life I’ll display in every way”. We, as Christians (and especially as […]
