    First Love Forever! Part 7

    I’m still here… awestruck… my heart being continually filled and flooded, day-after-day, week-after-week, with the unending flow of the Father’s amazing love. I pray that you’ll join me and invite others to come along as we all go higher, further, and deeper into His unending love. Romans 5:5 from The Passion Translation says: “We can

    First Love Forever! Part 6

    For the last several weeks, Holy Spirit has been teaching us about our first love. The phrase “first love” doesn’t refer to our love for God. It refers to God’s love for us. Our love for God is only a response to His love.(1 John 4:19) We will continue to experience the endless dimensions of

    I can’t, and I won’t! Holy Spirit brought me to these lush green pastures. I’ve eaten my fill. I’ve drunk deeply from the cool, crystal-clear spring waters flowing through this oasis. And I have enjoyed refreshing, soul-restoring rest. Why should I leave? I can’t and I won’t! Holy Spirit led me here and He’s not

    A tsunami of blueberries! That would describe the extraordinarily abundant harvest of blueberries from our small backyard garden this year. Not only were our berries plentiful, but they were deliciously flavorful… succulently sweet! That’s because Grace let them stay on the bushes until they reached their peak state of ripeness before she picked them. So

  • First Love Forever! Part 2

    In last week’s post, we heard Jesus expressing His heart’s longing for the church to return to Him, its “first love”. He told the Ephesian church (and this certainly can and does apply to believers in our day as well) of His concern for their downward trajectory. He pinpointed the problem as their being caught

    First Love Forever!

    Recently, Holy Spirit began directing my attention to the phrase “first love”. Who do you think of when you think of your “first love”? Do you think of that cute little girl or that handsome boy that sat next to you in the elementary school? You probably thought they were not only your first love,

    Prayer for Our Nation

    As we joyfully celebrate the 249th birthday of America this weekend with family and friends, let’s thank God for the freedom He has so graciously given to us. But as intercessors, those whom God has called to be watchmen upon the wall, we must always remember that there are dark, evil, and violent forces seeking

    Happy Birthday to Us!

    Time really does fly when you’re having fun! It was one year today that we created our web-site, and published our first post, appropriately entitled “First”. Although we don’t have a large number of subscribers yet, many people have told us that they have been blessed by the content on the site. And we have

    Held By My Hero!

    I was just a little guy, not quite 3 years old. There had been several days of heavy spring rains in my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana, and I had gone with my Dad and Grandpa to the Lakeshore Drive area to see the flash-flood waters that had overflowed our favorite fishing spot on Cross Lake.

  • Conquering Condemnation

    On Resurrection Day, we published a post entitled “The Rock That Rolled”. Since then, we have “been on a roll”. Our last three posts, and also today’s teaching, deal with the massive stone of guilt, shame, and condemnation the enemy uses as he seeks to imprison us in the tomb of our past sins and
