Are We Caring for Our Soul

March 9, 2016 by Melanie No Comments

Sitting this morning at the Charlotte airport, I’m reading and considering the study of the “soul” and how it operates in man. I’ve been investigating this subject now for a number of years, ever since reading and meditating on King David’s words in the Psalms.

More recently, I have been stirred by John Ortberg’s book “Soul Nurture”, and Larry Crabb’s book, “Soul Talk”. Both these books reveal how much the average Christian has neglected the subject, and the church has failed by in large to adequately explain.

Jesus made it very clear that all to often man forfeits God’s blessing because he neglects the caring of his own soul.

Trusting God in Our Presidential Election

March 9, 2016 by Melanie No Comments

Waking up this morning, I had desired to see the recent primary election outcome. Just as I turned on the news, the Lord spoke to me.

“I can use anyone I want and if I want to use someone you think is unworthy, will you accept that and support them?”

The next thing I heard was the Lord bringing up the Persian King Cyrus, whom I have not thought about nor read for a long time. Then He spoke again.

“Study my Word to see how I do things that many will find hard to accept”

As I started to read the book of Ezra, Isaiah and Daniel, I was reminded how God used a secular King to change the condition of Israel from one of slavery and bondage to freedom. Let me post just a few passages.

Are We Getting Sloppy in Our Walk?

March 8, 2016 by Melanie No Comments

Sitting in Charlotte Airport this morning, I’m struck by the way King David seemed to regularly seek the Lord when making big decisions. This wasn’t his behavior just some time, but most times, like when going to battle.

2 Samuel 5:20
And once again David asked the LORD what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” the LORD replied. “Instead, circle around behind them and attack them near the balsam trees.

I think all of us can or should confess we need to seek the Lord’s guidance more regularly, and with greater conviction. Yet David messed up at times, when engaged in a major event, when he should have known better. I’m referring to the time he brought the Ark.

Why Must Someone Follow Jesus if They Just Live a Good Life?

March 5, 2016 by Melanie No Comments

This morning I wanted to share a video of one of my favorite apologist, who speaks on the subject, “Can man live a truly loving life without believing in God.” Ravi Zacharias answers questions to secular audiences with such respect and wisdom that it is both a joy and delight of my heart to listen to him. I may know many answers that refute the atheist position, but I probably will never master the grace and wisdom of this great man of God. I know of no other teacher who cares so much for people with honest questions to the Christian faith. I can never get enough of his wisdom.

River Dwellers, Dr. Rob Reimer

March 3, 2016 by Melanie No Comments


Did you ever wish there was more to your Christian life? Too often the Christian life is reduced to going to church, attending meetings, serving God, and doing devotions. But Jesus promised us abundant life – a deep, intimate, satisfying connection with the living God. How do we access the abundant life that Jesus promised? The key is the presence and life of the Holy Spirit within us. Jesus said that the Spirit of God flows within us like a river – He is the River of Life. But we need to dwell in the river in order to access the Spirit’s fullness. In his latest book,
