Ten Shekels a Year

Lessons from the Old Testament are invaluable for our understanding as we journey on toward promise.

Personal Responsibility

There are many things that only God can do, yet there are a few things in scripture that He very clearly tells us to do. He lays a personal responsibly on each of us to take a step of faith and show ourselves a bride that loves her groom enough to prepare herself for His coming. Today we take a look at these personal responsibilities in scripture that no one else can do for us and ask God for the grace to tend to them with all due diligence.    

The Process

Our life of faith is a journey.  Yes there is a starting point and there is a destination, and a preparation for that destination! Therefore, there is a process that God takes us through as we progress in that preparation. Things that might seem pointless, do have a purpose far beyond our imagining, because the journey will take us far beyond our seeing or current comprehension. Season change, but His faithfulness remains the same. keep trusting. Keep going. 

The Great Deception

A look into scripture at the level of deception that the antichrist will perpetrate on the nations as well as the deception that the spirit of antichrist is already moving in right before our eyes.

Apprehending Perfection

Paul and the New Testament Apostles spoke often about the perfecting of the saints. Paul speaks to us more specifically about apprehending that perfection, our attuites "towards it and "while' attaining it, how to go about pursuing it, what it even means and why we need to seek to achieve this perfecting. So today we look at what Paul had to say about Apprehending Perfection for a better understanding of our journey of sanctification.
