Cucumbers Under the Vine

I want to encourage you to pray and not faint if the Lord has you in a season of waiting (Luke 18:1). I have cucumber plants in my little front garden, and I couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to produce cukes because I couldn't see them under the vines, primarily because I can't bend over to look. But them my sister came and looked under there and found a whole bag full of very large cucumbers under those vines!

Oh, my friends! God is always growing fruit on His vines because we are rooted in Jesus Christ His Precious Son, the Vine's lifesource; and He says He will bring to fruition and completion what He has started when He chose to give us life in His Son (Eph. 1:1-6; Phil. 1:6; Rom. 8:27-29). We often cannot see even the tiniest fruit but that's when faith in God's Word and promises must kick in and grow roots downward even as it's God's job to grow fruit upward, ever flowing in the powerful Ocean of His grace which ends in the very throne room of the King of the Ages, who is eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, to whom belongs all the honor and power and glory, forever and ever! Amen!

Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth

Jonathan’s sermon Sunday was jam-packed with Scripture truth about life as exiles and strangers as we are traveling toward our eternal Homeland—the New Earth where Righteousness will dwell. I would like to drill down into the aspect of “laying aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely”. For context, please read Hebrews 12:1-15. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [men and women throughout all of redemptive history, who have walked by faith in God’s unfolding promises and revelation of Himself, despite having not yet received God’s promise of the Genesis 3:15 Deliverer], let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. “Consider him who endured from sinners such hostili...

Broken Jars and God's Grace

I'm thanking the Lord today for his amazing grace. Last night, I had a sinful tantrum over some jars of stuff that got broken accidentally on the way in from the car to the house. I knew immediately that it was very stupid (actually the correct word is sinful) to be fuming over something so insignificant in the whole scheme of things. I'm thankful for God's always bringing just the hot water (trials) that bring out the tea in the bag of my heart so I can repent and change. I don't know about you all, but my very first reaction when money is involved in an accident, is to seize up with a fearful, "What if God doesn't provide THIS time?". I am always struck immediately then with the knowledge that, "Yes! He will provide and He's bringing this to show me my lack of trust in Him". That I'll not give into sinful first emotions and act on them is my prayer today. Perfect love definitely casts out fear. When I truly believe that God is t...

Where Would I Be Without God's Grace?

Gospel Transformation As I think over the past 5 years, I am swept off my feet with amazement for my Savior, Jesus Christ! He is changing me from a person who was completely living life for myself and my dreams and goals, to a person who is, by God's grace, learning to live every day to please my Lord and Loving Master, Jesus Christ! I don't say this proudly - because I had nothing to do with my spiritual heart transplant that occurred five years ago. And there is no perfection in my daily life – I still need the gospel of Jesus Christ every day in battling my sinful self – but there is definitely a changed purpose, and a passion for loving God that I never had prior to that time. Is Our Suffering Wasted? Five years ago, I was literally at the end of my physical and emotional endurance. I had battled a neurological disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or as it used to be called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) for 10 years. It had developed into a...
