    When the double portion falls, there will be those who will cross over into a new level of anointing where only those trained by the Spirit and harnessed under the discipline of the anointing can walk.

    The Double Portion Anointing 2 Kings 2:9 - And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." Elisha desired a double portion of the anointing ...read more

    A recent family crisis taught me many things about how this verse applies to those of us who have coped with crisis and those of us who need to cope.

    The Comfort whereby I Am Comforted 2 Corinthians 1:3-6 It was a parking lot like any other, no unusual obstructions, no special problem places. There might have been a slight unevenness in the pavement, but that’s pretty normal, no real problem. The day before Dad had clambered some of the ...read more

    Those are the healing waters that can always save those who are soaked with them, precisely because this sacrament is the visible sign of the power of Christ, who is the real minister of every baptism.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Lent 2020 Water I always recommend to those who can make pilgrimage that they take a week or more with a Christian guide in the Holy Land–Israel and Jordan–so that they can understand the people and places we read about in the Sacred Scriptures.

    The attitude of one’s heart defines success in ministry. We need to honor not just those who are publicly serving in the church but also those who work behind the scenes!

    Psalm 1 does not teach the duty of obedience so much as it invokes affection for the Torah. In Psalm 1, the righteous are not those who obey the Torah, but are those who delight in the Torah.

    Living the Blessed Life. Psalm 1:1-6NKJV The desert is abundant with life, but there is a stark contrast between plants that are near water and plants that are in the drier parts of the landscape. Those plants near the water display abundant growth. Those plants that are near the water display ...read more

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us. It's not easy, but we can do it.

    This sermon illustrates how those on the crowd of Jesus's triumphant entry misunderstood the significance of the way He entered riding on a donkey.

    In one great act, God has reversed the order of society. Only those who are willing to humble themselves before the Lord can expect anything from the Lord. Those who are willing to admit their sin can expect to be saved. Those who are willing to admit their need can expect to be blessed.

    When the end comes, it will become clear who those people are whose faith is truly in Jesus, and it will become clear who those are who have been just playing a religious game.

    When I was a kid, weeding the garden was one of my least favorite activities. It was often hot out there and my back would hurt from bending over. Worst of all, I thought it was monotonous work, so often I did not pay real close attention to what I was doing. And, sure enough, I would sometimes ...read more
