Miracle sofa

Sofa of blessing Blessing of receiving Grace after grace Through the fellowship Of God’s missional people. Earlier this week Jee Fong and I hosted a friend of many years. During our warm conversation, I was sitting on our former sofa, and without thinking about it, just casually mentioned it seemed to be sagging. I then said, as nothing more than a passing remark: though it served its…

Drawn forth

Today I thought about the first church I ever attended: First Church of the Nazarene; from about 6 to 11/12 years of age. I don’t know why but suddenly I’m flushed with several vivid memories from that church, across the house we first grew up in, on Tulare Street, Fresno California. The photo below is the actual church building I today found on the internet; apparently still there. My parents…

Maundy Thursday reflection

For perfecting our soul Let us call to mind this night Christ’s last meal with his disciples. To join ourselves to his cause See how he eats and drinks See how he speaks See how he prays In the garden Of wrestling prayer. So let us pray “What you have given us Take Lord, and receive Our life, freedom and will All we have we return to you For your disposal as you will For the cause…

Experiencing Spirit baptism

Experiencing the baptism in the Holy Spirit for the first time yet periodically all through life– is Bible promise and standard for normal Christian life growing into charismatic fullness of Christ. For as I earlier today explained, encountering Christ as Spirit…

The cross shows us the thirst of God

“I am thirsty.”I just noticed Jesus’ experienced thirst on the cross “John 19.28) may arguably be the last of his “I Am” confessions, identifying him with the God of Israel, as in Exodus 3.14: “I AM who I AM.”If so, then Christ self-confession identifying himself as one with God was not climaxed in his declaration, “I am the ressurection” of those who come to me (John 11.26), but here in his…
