“He will wipe away
every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be
mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed
away.” (Revelation 21:4, ESV)”
I’ve been working on several posts the last couple of
days, but tonight as I sit at my desk working on several different projects I can’t
help but think of that coming day when death will be extinguished forever,
never to be seen again. In that day sorrow will never be felt again. The
scriptures say that death no longer has power over us,...

“And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come
proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I
decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I
was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my
message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the
Spirit and...

This morning my Pastor spoke about finding your place and used puzzle pieces as an analogy to explain the Body of
Christ. It reminded me of a similar analogy I used in something I wrote five
years ago this week. I found it amazing that the Lord would use it again as he
spoke to my Pastor about it this last week. So on that subject I hope this
blesses you.

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the
garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called
to the man and said to him, “Where are
you?” And he said, “I heard the sound
of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
He said, “Who told you that you were
naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The
man said, “The woman whom you gave to be
with me, she gave me...

Ok let’s admit it. It happens to us all; we all get stale in
our faith, bored, worn out, stagnant. In today’s modern evangelical world it is
easy to get lost in so many well-meaning things and totally lose sight of what
we are really doing.
It happens to me from time to time. I can tell when it is
happening because I lose the satisfaction of serving, giving, studying, and
even praying. ...

I think a horrible fantasy to live in is where Love
is thought of as this eternal bubbly feeling that never leaves. I find that
sometimes people are under this impression that love hits you and it never
leaves. I think love is something that
must be maintained. I found this out several weeks after I got married.
Now many of you reading may disagree with me and
that’s because you are not married or you have some abnormally great marriage
where...

“If we are faithless, he remains faithful…” 2 Timothy 2:13
After my last post, I laid my head on my pillow and this
scripture came to my mind. It has been the only thing I’ve been able to think
about since we last spoke. I don’t think we can give a great picture of
faithfulness without looking at the faithfulness of Christ towards us as His
bride.
At my wedding, and most any other wedding, I’ve heard these
words;
“I, (Bride/Groom),...

Today I want to continue sharing what I have learned
in my marriage. I’m not saying I’m a marriage expert, because I still have lots
to learn, but maybe my insights can encourage or help others in their journey
with their spouse or show young people who are looking to get married what this
life looks like.
One word that has struck me in the last couple of months
is the word “faithful”. The depth to which I am to be faithful to my wife is...

For
the next couple of posts I want to talk about what I've learned from my
marriage. I have been thinking about writing this since the week after my
marriage. See just in the first week I learned how different marriage is and how
it clarifies what my relationship with Christ should look like. It has been
amazing to see with clarity what it means to be united with Christ and to see
what Christ is doing for me.
Paul
