When fear of the coronavirus first appeared on the scene, I began to hear these words piecing my heart. As our world began its journey with social distancing and sheltering in place, I heard it again. Then while tempers flared into riots and chaos, Apostle John’s simple words pounded in my soul a third time: “As He is, so also …
Troubled, the artist stepped back from the canvas and critically scanned his masterpiece. From the look on his face, something was not quite right and I craned my neck to see what it might be. Catching my first glimpse of the landscape, I stared wide-eyed as the vibrant colors pulsed with an inner glow. This was truly a …
I guess you’d call it a vision. What I saw took place beyond the dimension of physical eyes. Amidst the clouds of heaven, One “like a Son of Man” riveted my attention. I could not see Him in His entirety, only His Head, which peered out from the heavenlies with a perspective cutting across time and space. …
An ordinary package — taped, addressed, and covered with postal stickers. An ordinary journey — traveling by railcar the 229 miles from New York City to Washington D.C. An ordinary postal worker — delivering the package from his satchel, from which he had delivered so many others. Yes, almost everything about this package was conventional for the USPS — …
There are two states of mind. One that needs more. One that has enough. The first are “like greedy dogs, they are never satisfied” (Isaiah 56:11 NLT).

Once every hour, Philip Johnson’s house disappears. But, it wasn’t originally built that way. Philip completed his Connecticut home in 1949 to overlook the nearby pond. As an architect, Mr. Johnson designed this unique house specifically to live amidst the landscape. Constructed almost entirely of glass, the house brings the amazing woodland views into every room. Just imagine drinking …
My precious child, Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me (John 14:1). Faith is a spiritual action, not a physical one. I asked you to faithe Me because honestly, that’s the only way that you and I can connect. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in …
We don’t only use spiritual vision to look at Him, we use a supernatural viewpoint when we are looking at one another. “From now on we recognize no man according to the flesh” (2 Corinthians 5:16). Yeah, we are now to see others with spiritual “x-ray” vision. Picture for a moment that person that gives you great …
“Faith is sight” (19th Century Rev. W. Jones). What a simple, yet profound way to express what we have been grappling with.
