Salvation Belongs to Our God-Lent 5, 2022

Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal […]

Sabbath 1 (2022)

“Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to Him who […]

The Four Horsemen-Lent 4, 2022

On TV, one political figure was outlining all the terrible consequences that were about to befall the world.  My son sent me the video and quipped, “All that’s missing are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.”  Indeed, they are legendary. And scary as all get out.  They’re scary because together, they form the catalyst for […]

A Glimpse into the Throne Room-Lent 3, 2022

No forewarning.  No getting ready to look one’s best.  No preparation for what was ahead.  Just a door standing open and a command to come on up.  Perhaps nothing could have prepared John for what he would see. Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. […]

Reading the Lines of Revelation (Lent 1, 2022)

Scripture says, “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Revelation 1:3). God says the time is near.  He doesn’t say to decipher everything or look for secrets to impress […]

Revelation in 40–Lent Devotionals 2022

A little presumptuous, wouldn’t you say?  Trying to cover Revelation in 40 days?  Even Calvin didn’t do a commentary on Revelation.  Who are you?  Are you out of your mind? Well, I’m not doing a commentary, but what I plan to do over the 40 days of Lent is to give 40 vignettes, scenes, concepts, […]

Run with Perseverance

I’ve never been much of a runner.  I admire people whose bodies cooperate with that activity, and yes, I guess I envy them a bit too.  I envy them especially when see a resolution for the New Year from the Book of Hebrews: Run with Perseverance. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such […]

Live By Faith

It’s the cry of the ages: Why is nothing happening?  Nothing to vindicate the righteous ones?  Nothing to punish those doing evil?  Why is nothing happening to change my situation even though I think I’m doing everything right that I know how to do?  We’ve all been there at some point, I’m sure. Scripture talks […]

Draw Near with a Sincere Heart

The next resolution in our New Year resolutions from the Book of Hebrews would be to Draw Near with a Sincere Heart.  Have you ever heard people say that since others are so sincere in their beliefs that they–and their beliefs–deserve our full acceptance? Nonsense. Sincerity is good, but it’s not “an end in itself.” […]
