When the godless praise
I want this! I want to see God do such amazing works through me and through The Gathering that even the godless around us - like the unbelieving nations around Israel - find themselves giving God praise…

Stars for signs
Never noticed before that God created stars with the express purpose of providing signs to man. Not for horoscopes and not to replace seeking Him in prayer, but the Bible clearly states they can be a…

A willingness to be seen
Our culture is a private one. Yes, we've all got a gazillion friends on Facebook and we tweet about every last detail of our days and diets, but at the end of day, we keep the most incriminating stuff…

God presence is closer to our weakness
Not only did God go with Moses, but He specifically promised to be WITH his mouth. In other words, when God calls us to something over our heads, it will often highlight our weakness. The good news is…

At some point...
It's good to give grace and patience to ignorance, and we see here that even God does this. But at some point, patience with ignorance must give way to petitions for repentance.

An interesting order
God didn't say that He was removing the enemy from the promised land before His children went into it. It would happen "as" they entered.

As many conversations have revealed
How many of us have tried to explain good, solid spiritual principles to people who don't know Jesus and have seen the reality of this truth? Our prayer must be for the dead spirit within these people…

The Blessed Mother?
I've always wondered what Catholics do with this passage and how it fits into their view and doctrine of Mary.

Humbly accept truth
It is one thing to receive truth. It is quite another to receive it humbly. That can only happen if we understand our need of God's truth in my life.

A hidden benefit of suffering
Never noticed before that physical suffering for Christ is linked with victory over sin. Verse 2 seems to indicate that when we've suffered for Jesus it changes our desires.

The end result of giving
There is good that comes from giving, and it can come no other way. The greek word for "good" here is fruit, and the only seed that bears it is generosity.

Simple, but do I?
Can I say, like Paul, that taking care of the poor is something I always want to do? God, break my heart and replace it with yours.

God give spacious places
Compare this with the name of the third well that Jacob dug (it meant "open places") and it is easy to see that God's desire for us is to live in free places.

A worthy goal
How awesome would it be if this became a very real experience in our worship today? If the glory cloud of the Lord overtook our efforts to exalt Him and forced us to bow instead of continue?

Careless vows
To his credit, he did keep this vow even though it was difficult. The sad truth, though, is that he was careless in his vow and didn't consider the possible costs.
