In Daniel 2 we read how God not only revealed King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to Daniel but how He also gave him the interpretation. The king promoted Daniel to be the second most powerful person in the Babylonian Empire. At Daniel’s request, he also promoted Daniel’s friends – Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. In Daniel 3, the […]

Strength for Our Trials
1 Corinthians 10:1-13 In this meditation, I really want to focus on verse 13 that says – “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way […]
What Will Heaven Be Like?
We have just celebrated the resurrection of our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. These last several months have really been hard, as so many have been affected by coronavirus. Many have died. Our son, Sheldon, has some of the symptoms, so they are treating him as though he has the virus. In light of the […]
Christians in a Counter-Christian Culture
If you are not aware that in our nation today, there are bold, brazen attempts to silence the voice of the Christ-followers, then I am not sure you care or are concerned. Recently, Dr. Robert Jeffress discovered several books he considered inappropriate in the children’s section of the local library. He called the library, expressed […]
Sins of the Saints
The term “Saint” is just another term in scripture for a believer or Christ follower. It is not someone who is super spiritual. The term is used numerous times in the Scriptures. (Psalm 37:28; 50:15; 116:15; Daniel 7:25; Ephesians 8:8; Jude 3 and Revelation 16:6) As you look at the title of this meditation, you […]
Prayer and Healing
I thank the LORD that I know he is the Great Physician and that He heals. When I was a teenager, my father, not a Christian, had a heart attack. He was in a coma and not expected to live through the night. Our church turned the evening service into a prayer meeting. During the […]
What is Accomplished When We Pray? Part III
Years ago, the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago had a radio program where they shared the true stories of those whose lives had been radically transformed when they met Jesus Christ. The stories were about those whose lives had been shipwrecked on the sea of life due to addiction of alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. They […]
Prevailing in Prayer Part II
In our last meditation, we talked about the hindrances to an effective prayer life. Today, I want to share with you ways to enrich your prayer life and enhance your walk with Christ. Seek the LORD with all your Heart and Soul. In Deuteronomy 4:29, Moses assured the people … “But from there you will […]
Prevailing in Prayer Part I
Let me begin this meditation by defining the word ‘prevail’. There are several suggested meanings: 1) To be strong or well. 2) To stretch or strain forward. 3) To advance to gain the advantage. In James 5:16 we read, “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” In the Holman Christian Standard Bible, […]
On Being a Disciple Maker
Jesus Christ is the Head of the true church. (Ephesians 5:21-24) In the Gospel of Matthew (28:18-20) Jesus came to His disciples and said, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son […]
