How Long, O Lord? A Meditation on Habakkuk
How long can we wait? As Christians, we read this and are still looking for God’s action. Even the coming of Jesus didn’t slow down the wickedness we see all around us. And, often times, this wickedness pervades our lives and slows us down. How long, O God?

The Spiritually Dead Church
The spiritually dead church. In my life, as a minister's son, I have seen many spiritually dead churches. There is no love, or working of the spirit. Some churches, have become a haven, for social gatherings, gossip meetings, and condemnation.

Christian Love
Actually, loving does not take any great effort on our part because it is not something we must put forth great effort to achieve. When God enters our heart, soul, and mind, love is spontaneously produced because He is love.

What Does Jesus Expect?
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. --ROMANS 5:8
Expectations create conditional love. “I love you, but I’ll love you more if.” Now I know what you’re thinking. Shouldn’t we expect the best out of one another? Shouldn’t we encourage each other to strive for excellence and never settle for anything else? Absolutely. But it was Christ who taught us how to use expectations. Does He demand a lot? You better believe it. Does He expect much? Only our best. Does He have expectations? Just that we leave everything, deny all, and follow Him. The difference? Jesus’ expectations were accompanied by forgiveness and acceptance.

Spring Cleanup
With the end of what seemed to be a never ending winter,
we are now ready to start cleaning up around the house. We
are anxious to lighten the load and get rid of unwanted junk.
Some of it we get tired of or have outgrown. We either do
one of three things, throw the stuff out, give it away or sell it
because it still has some value.
How much easier it is for us to clean up our property than it
is to clean up our inner souls? When we get rid of this junk,
we are that much richer for it. Sometimes we can't put a
price on things that really matter.
What is your freedom worth to you?

Echo's Transition
Echo was a flea-bitten gray horse, with brown speckles everywhere, and crystal clear hairs in her mane and tail. We met in October, 1976, when she was a broodmare on an Arabian farm in New York State. A beginner at riding doesn't usually start out with a novice horse, but I fell in love at first sight of her. Somehow, over the years, we learned how to have great times and not get in trouble. We enjoyed trail riding and had fun doing dressage, too. Echo loved to be ridden and to gallop across field. She was always as eager for my companionship as I was for hers.

No Other gods Before Me
Idolatry in all of its many forms retains one consistent principle: it does nothing for the worshipper, provides no power, offers no hope. God has a claim on our hearts, and this claim is exclusive. He yields ground to no other Master, no other god. He wants all of us, so that He can bless us in our totality.

Universal Law Primer
Universal Law is an invisible influence in every individual’s life, whether we realize it or not. It is invisible because we cannot see it anymore than we can see the God who created it. We can see only the evidence of its existence by recognizing its effect on our lives. Universal Law is an expanding and contracting vibration, always in motion. Every soul on every life level is responsible for its own interpretation of the law and chooses if and how the law will be applied within a current lifetime...

Seeing the Big Picture
Sometimes, in traveling a path, we discover a short-cut, and we reach our destination in less time—and with less effort than we thought, when we began the journey, would be required of us. On the path to self-awareness, however, there are no short-cuts. Personal growth awareness of the person we are in every present moment-is an ongoing lifetime process. The end of one learning cycle is always the beginning of the next...

It's Not What You Know, It's What You Do
