  • Walking with the Word – Creator

    “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) The Scripture has but one subject. That subject is God. When everything started, God was there before and started it all.

    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) We live in a world struggling for peace. This struggle is pictured by the Psalmist, “Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.” (Psalm 120:6-7) This restlessness…

  • Walking with the Word – A Spiritual House

    “As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4-5) Too many times we tend to see the church…

  • Walking with the Word – A Great Light

    “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” (Isaiah 9:2) It is a modern phenomenon which brings about a deep or total darkness. When at night the moon is new, clouds cover the sky, it is raining and all fires…

Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1) It was John’s announcement when he first saw Jesus, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) Paul’s understanding of…

  • Walking with the Word – United with Christ

    “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” (Philippians 2:1-2) In a world where…

  • Walking with the Word – Establish Peace

    “LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.” (Isaiah 26:12) In this world filled with conflict, where do we find peace? With growing violence in our town and cities, where do we find peace? As people struggle with anxiety and despair, where does one find peace? These…

  • Walking with the Word – Rod and Staff

    “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4) As a boy David had learned his responsibilities in the tasks assigned by His father, who had him tending sheep as a shepherd. When he took a…

  • Walking with the Word – Time with God

    “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” (Psalm 42:1-2) In Jesus’ encounter with the woman of Samaria, they would have a discussion about water, thirst, and eternity. Jesus asks…
