1 Samuel 7:3-4 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the handRead More…
I must ask everyone’s forgiveness. I just realized that my last blog posting took place near the final weekend in November. At that time, I was just putting together my latest book: 30 Days of Advent Colouring Journal, and diving into a busy choir season with Kelowna Community Gospel Choir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEGdI13dZmg Add to that playingRead More…
Ruth 3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. I had been in prayer this morning, bringing needs before the Lord and thanking Him, showing appreciation for all that He hasRead More…
My notes for the book of Judges were sparse to say the least. If there is a book showing the incredible yo-yo effect of followers rather than those who make solid choices, this book was it! The book of Judges also shows the dangers of not following God’s commands fully, as nations they had notRead More…
My blogging has been quiet through the Book of Judges so far. Israel was doing what it did best at that time, serving God and then whoring after other gods. God was keeping His promises, the positive ones as well as the negative ones, and ensuring that in His way of doing things, the beneficialRead More…
There are people today who still believe that what they bring into their homes will have no effect on them. They can have novels, music, DVD’s and magazines about witchcraft, sex outside of marriage, first-person shooters, and more and still think that because it is in the form of entertainment, that it’s fine. They don’tRead More…
My blogging lately has not followed my personal devotions. The first chapter of Joshua had already been written about at length earlier in June long before I’d even finished the book of Deuteronomy. I confess that today, my thoughts are not in the book of Joshua either. Instead, my thoughts are straying toward the conceptRead More…
Yes, it IS that time of year again! For some, classes are already in session. For others, classes are due to resume following Labour Day in September. Regardless of when children and teachers are returning to the classroom, its hard not to observe all the sales going on in the stores right now! Paper, pencils,Read More…
The last time I blogged about anything in the book of Deuteronomy, it was back in chapter 15. This is largely due to the fact that most of this book was a rehash of the Law as it had been given in other areas of the Torah. But today, I have come to the endRead More…
(So I actually read this chapter several days ago, but Deuteronomy 15 came back to “haunt” me in a big way today!) Every now and then, I hear a sermon that tweaks something in my heart and mind, and I have no choice but to ponder, think about and generally process it. Most times, thisRead More…
