    Preparing to be Called Out

    I think believers can find great relevance in this history. Passover is when Jesus, our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7), was sacrificed for us. As we enter the spring, a season for new life, we must prepare ourselves to meet Him at His cross. As pilgrims through this world, we must guard ourselves from the…

    The Appointment of Christmas

    Sometimes Christmas presentsAre last-minute things—We rush to just buy something—Hope for joy it brings.

  • The Ladder to Heaven

    The Ladder to Heaven

    You may remember from Sunday school the story of Jacob’s ladder. That’s an Old Testament story that I never really considered that important. In “The Ladder to Heaven,” I show you a deeper significance to this story and how it is actually completed in the New Testament.
