Studying the Scriptures is one of the most exciting aspects of my relationship with God. I love strolling through the scenes from Genesis to The Revelation, observing and listening as God reveals Who He is, how much He loves mankind and what His will is for us, how He works, what He's done, what He's doing, and what He will do again...for He never changes, nor do His ways.
God's Word is the anchor that keeps us from drifting into the turbulence of the gales of confusion and deception. There are fundamental doctrines and interpretations of Scripture that are central to the Christian faith; yet the Word of God, like a sparkling diamond, has so many shimmering facets of revelation that serve to enrich one's basic faith. My spirit leaps within me when Father reveals a shining facet to me that I haven't heard before; or when he reminds me of a Truth that has been tucked away in my mind, one day to be brought into remembrance in a due season.
I have begun this blog as a journal, of sorts, to record and share some of the nuggets that the Lord has quickened to my spirit during my quiet times. It's an opportunity for sweet fellowship with brothers and sisters in the Lord. Though I do love to do word studies, the primary purpose of this blog is not for theological exegesis, apologetics, or doctrinal debates, so please lay aside the Greek and Hebrew dictionaries and concordances. Rather, as you listen with your spirit, see if the Lord gives you a quickening there. Please feel free to share your thoughts and/or insights on the topics being presented.
The Holy Scriptures are a record of historical events and future events, many of which you can see being repeated in present times; however, their Truths hold spiritual meaning as well, that can be readily applied to our personal journey with God. The Lord Jesus preached in parables to the multitudes in general, but took His disciples aside and revealed to them the Spirit behind the parables. The Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Mashiach) is the same yesterday, today, and forever; therefore, I believe that He still wants to reveal his secrets to those of us who would draw near.
May the Lord richly bless you and "give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him...that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might." Eph.1:17-19
