How can we know God? There isn’t a box we could construct that could contain Him. He created everything, is “more so” than everything. Everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. He’s too … there isn’t a word that I can think of except God. He’s too God. Colossians… Read More
Colossians 1:15 Jesus is the window
How can we know God? We can’t–we run out of knowledge, imagination, and creativity long before we can even reach a small understanding of the great I AM. But he gives us windows to look through so we can see the parts of Him that we need to know through Jesus, the Bible, the Holy… Read More

It took the drama of a blinding light, a heavenly voice, and a period of sightless malaise to get his attention.… Read More
Psalm 1:6 Follow the leader
Where he leads me, I will follow. Psalm 1:6 (The Message) God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row. Why study the Bible this way? If you take it into your mind and heart enough to translate it into a picture or word, it becomes part of you. If you add… Read More
