It’s A Duet!

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Pete

Most often, it occurs to me, I think of praise as a solo. This morning I’m wondering if, at least sometimes, I should be thinking of it more as a duet. For the most part I think of praise as … Continue reading →

Stand Still

Posted on December 16, 2010 by Pete

There’s something about reading Job that, for me at least, sets a me bit back on my heals. Not so much chapters 1 and 2 in which God speaks with Satan . . . nor in chapters 38 through 42, … Continue reading →

New Songs

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Pete

As a kid I used to look forward to the weekly publishing of the “LG73 Top Ten.” LG73 was (maybe still is) a Vancouver (B.C. not Washington) pop music radio station. And every week it would publish the most popular … Continue reading →

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Pete

Praying With Jesus

Posted on December 8, 2010 by Pete

I’m not gonna to lie (not that I have in the past) . . . I like being prayed for . . . especially when it’s by someone who just seems to be a real prayer warrior. On those occasions … Continue reading →

The Plumb Line

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Pete

If you had asked me before this morning where the “vision of the plumb line” is found in Scripture, I couldn’t have told you. I’m know that I’ve read it a number of times before, but it’s never really registered. … Continue reading →

This Is It!

Posted on December 6, 2010 by Pete

There’s at least a couple of ways that you learn stuff from Scriptures. One way is to kind of “glean” truths. For example, I was reading in Revelation 7 this morning about those who are saved out of the tribulation … Continue reading →
