We can know the will of God for our lives. God is not withholding anything from us. It may seem sometimes that He is, but I don’t believe that He is. Jesus said He spoke in parables to those who were on the outside. Parables are veiled language, or allegories. It may be a story that points to a spiritual truth. To those who were on the “inside,” Jesus said He would speak plainly. God desires to share the truths of the kingdom with us. He desires us to know His ways and to find His plan for our lives.

A Few Things I’ve Learned Along the Way
When you read the bible, you need the Holy Spirit’s help. I remember reading the book of Job when I was seeking God, but not quite there yet. 33 plus chapters and Job just seemed to have so much self-pity. (By that time, I had learned how to recognize that.) I grew bored with the book and set it aside, not to return for some time… Continue reading

A Tale of Two Lambs
To those who know the story of Jesus’ death on the cross as payment for the sins of the world, my book might seem redundant. The story is told through a group of barnyard animals and Farmer Dave. The story was originally read to a class of 3-5-year-olds. It is probably 3rd grade level reading. So many supernatural things happened along the way to getting it published. To find out some of them, see this post from October 21. And God is so amazing! I realized new insights about the story as I worked on the book! Continue reading
Who or What is Your Precious?
I’m a Lord of the Rings fan. In the Two Towers, a creature named Gollum is introduced. Gollum appears in The Hobbit too, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, and comes under the spell of a golden ring. He originally had a different name, but killed his brother to get the ring, then becomes a weirdly distorted version of his former self, all caused by his great obsession with the ring, which both of his personalities call “Precious.” Continue reading
Give Them Something to Drink
We have some great teachers in the Body of Christ. We have great teachers in the church I attend. Then there are teachers given to the larger Body of Christ that literally have “quenched my thirst” and “fed my soul.” Studying their materials was like drinking deeply of God. Continue reading
