Vertical then Horizontal

Reflections John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. This statement by John is a basic principle. Our relationship with God must be FIRST, and it will determine our relationship with everyone else. And the fact is, this is going to happen whether we realize it or not. This relationship between God and ourselves, and then, between ourselves and others, could be pictured in the following way: The basis for everything is our personal, one-on-one, VERTICAL relationship with God. God gives us all things freely from Himself down to us …

WHEN STORMS COME

Matthew 14:22-33(KJV) 22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw …

Casting Crowns Praise You In The Storm

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (KJV) 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

And I’ll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am And every tear I’ve cried You …

Bumps in the Road

Exodus 2:11-15 11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 14 And …

Because He First Loved Us

Reflections We love him, because he first loved us. (I John 4:19) Read in the Bible the many commands to love one another. Then try to do it. You might want to do it. That is good. And you might convince yourself for awhile that you have succeeded. But you cannot do it. You cannot love with the agape love of God. The best you will muster up a human love. Indeed, the commandment to love one another has often been turned into just another LAW by some Christians – something we must do to keep right with God. The …

Genesis Message 64 – Envy of Jacob Causes Him to Leave Haran

Now Jacob heard what Laban’s sons were saying about how they thought he had stolen from their father. Envy, a fruit of the flesh, never leads to a Godly end for those who choose to embrace it. Jacob needed this as additional motivation to leave Haran and journey back to his home in Bethel. They thought they would continue to receive the benefit of Jacob’s servitude to Laban but now Jacob had become wealthy. Their principal complaint was that, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this …

Selah

Dr, Mike Murphy With each word, he saw the beauty.  With each word, he heard the praise. With each word, he felt the power.  And with each word, he fell to his knees in awe before the Lord’s endless love and mercy.  Each word did not only convict him, it freed him.  Each word did not just move him, it stilled him. It has often been said, music feeds the heart.  But the greatest songwriter and composer this world has ever known, David, also believed that music showed purpose in our soul.  David did not compose just because he needed …
