If you’ve ever listened to Christian radio or TV programs for more than a second or two, you’ve no doubt heard them talking about “glory.” It seems like it’s always glory this, glory that, and glory hallelujah. So what’s the glory story all about anyway? Glorious, as defined in the dictionary, is: “having a striking beauty or splendor that evokes … The rest of the story…
Category Archives: II Corinthians
“For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” That short phrase found in 2 Corinthians 3:6 makes me a minister. Imagine that. However; I’m not a minister in the way you might imagine. If a picture of someone who wears black with a white collar came to mind…or if a picture of a red-faced preacher behind a pulpit came … The rest of the story…
The Fragrance of His Knowledge
My wife is very involved with essential oils. We apply oils topically, we take them internally for their nutritional benefits, and we diffuse them to kill airborne bacteria…and their scent is awesome. This isn’t an article about essential oils. I found a correlation between them and a passage in 2 Corinthians where Paul mentions “the fragrance of His knowledge“. God … The rest of the story…

Testimony of Conscience
Whether I can say I’ve done something worthy of your boasting…or whether I must say I’ve done nothing worthy of anyone’s boasting…both are a testimony of conscience.

And for much of my life I’ve worked in a field where there is consistent danger of becoming filled with … The rest of the story…
Father Of Mercies
Maybe you’ve heard of the “father of classical mechanics and calculus”…Isaac Newton. Or maybe you’ve heard of the “father of modern physics”…Galileo. Surely you’ve heard of the “father of physical cosmology”…Albert Einstein. But more important to your everyday life is the “Father of mercies“. Perhaps you’ve heard of God? I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to an unbeliever … The rest of the story…
Your Indescribable Gift
The moment you were conceived, you were given the indescribable gift of life. It’s an indescribable gift because no one can truly describe life. In fact, to merely “describe” it somewhat implies we have a good understanding of what it is. I believe we can perceive life, but we can’t really describe it. How many times have you heard the … The rest of the story…
