In fact we are the ones who delay responding to His calls on our behalf. The truth of the matter is that God has already answered our prayers and set things in motion to have His will and way done.   The problem is that we are often not aware of what He has done and is doing. Our prayers are many times answered in ways that we have not expected and so we fail to recognize what He is

She asked to see me and we arranged a time to meet at a local café where I often met with people for counsel.   Since I had never met this woman I was in the dark about what she wanted to discuss. She began our conversation by stating that she was "the other woman." I was still a

(I usually chose the walk!)   I am always amazed at how simple the things of God are … and yet they are so difficult that it seems impossible to ever attain them. Paul expresses his own frustration with trying to fulfill

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall  observe  it with my whole heart.”   Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible.  Each section is introduced by a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. I am told that Jewish youth had to memorize the entire chapter -- with 176 verses, that was no easy task. The Psalmist pens this Psalm in the form of a prayer beseeching the Lord to be our teacher.   It is interesting to dig a little deeper into

Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. ”   Years ago I heard a minister tell of an incident in a hospital elevator where he had just come from visiting a very ill patient. A young man overheard him speak about eternity and, perhaps wanting to mock his view, asked the minister where eternity was. The minister told the boy to place his hand on his chest to feel the beat of

It is not. It was part of a poem by missionary C.T. Studd who served the Lord in China, India, and Africa. He not only left us this poem, but his work for Christ will last throughout eternity.   The reality is that our life flies past at such a pace that we always need to be alert to the opportunities the Lo

I have many fond memories of spending time in and around that place. Sometimes I would help the dish washer, but in reality was more hindrance than help.   Years after we had moved away from Camas I always wanted to drive by and see if Kelly’s was still open. I had told my wife Joyce about it enough times that she was no doubt tired of hearing my stories. A day came when I took a
