Following the King of kings is the greatest adventure and most fulfilling life we can have on this earth. Likewise, visiting the house of the King of kings should be one of the most exciting things we ever do. Yet for far, too many going to His house, the church, can be one of the most boring things in their life. How can this be? 

         The short answer is, if our church is boring, we are going to a church the Lord does not go to. How can that be? Doesn’t the Lord inhabit His...

         We are called to follow the Lamb wherever He goes, not just follow principles or doctrines. Knowing principles and sound biblical doctrine is important, but we’re called to follow a Person, not just teachings about Him. As we have been covering, to follow Him we must see Him. Our goal to follow Him more closely begins with seeing Him better.

         We are continuing the theme of what Jesus said before His crucifixion, that from that time on, we would not see Him until we say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the...

         Elizabeth Browning once said, “Earth is crammed with heaven, and every bush is aflame with the fire of God, but only those who see take off their shoes. The rest just pick the berries.” As we begin to mature in Christ, we begin to see Him in all things. We see Him in creation because “all things have been created through Him and for Him.

         We could marvel at the creation forever. Its diversity in the multitudes of species of plants and animals are nearly incomprehensible. Still, there are multitudes that yet remain undiscovered. How they all interact with the earth and each other is a source of continuous discovery and amazement. We now know the planets, stars, and galaxies have an interaction with the earth from billions of light years away that was necessary to begin the earth’s food chain! 

         As we are told in Scripture, all of this is but a “shadow” of the...

         To know the Lord’s voice, we must know Him. One of the crucial characteristics that He has is that He is “gentle and humble of heart” (see Matthew 11:29). If anyone ever had a right to be proud, it would be Him, but He is not. 

         Jesus is more than the King of all; He is the Creator of all as verified in John 1 and Colossians 1:15-20. We hardly qualify as specks of dust before Him, but He allows us to entreat Him. As we see in several biblical accounts, He has...
