I am dead to sin. Romans 6:2. 11 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?  Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so…

I Am Set Free

Freedom (credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zarajay/_

I am free! John 8:31-32 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Soak in the Word, snuggle into its depths, and be secure in its…

I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated in God’s kingdom. Colossians 1:13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, I am just beginning to realize the enormity of being delivered from the power of darkness.  In our society today darkness…

Daniel 6:26-27 ”For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.

Dark Words

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer. Words lay heavy on my heart this morning.  I made an off-hand comment, not even dreaming that it could be taken in a way that was hurtful, but unfortunately the one…

Free

Psalm 119:32 (NIV) I run in the path of your commands for you have set my heart free. I think the tendency is to think of commands (laws) as binding and restrictive, but they are meant to give freedom.  When the boundaries are well defined I can run freely within then, and I am not…

Predestination vs. Free Choice

There was a question someone asked on a blog about predestination vs. free choice.  I don’t think I have all the answers, but I thought I’d share the way I think of it.  First, let me preface with saying that this is my opinion.  You may not agree and that’s okay.  Also, I think that…

Order and Breaking Chains

I was reading in Zechariah again this morning, and despite its general encouragement and hope, nothing was sticking out.  So, I went and read Skip Moen’s Daily Word blog (which is one of my favorites).  The first one was about living water which reminded me about Zechariah 13:1 (On that day a fountain will be…

The Year of Jubilee

Sadly this is a note in passing since Kainoah woke up before me this morning (yeah, 4:50am is really early, even if you normally get up at 5am), and as much as I love him, his wakefulness isn’t particularly conducive to study! The Year of Jubilee has been on my mind since my amazing husband…
