Well, at least my new web site at: www.TheSaintsInLight.com I will be moving most of the content of this blog over to the new site.  This domain may disappear over the coming months.  The new site will replace this blog and new posts (still have a number of old posts to move over) should appear in the coming days.  It does seem though that all comments will be lost in the transfer.  The Exporting routine in the SubText version I am using appears to have an error so I have to move the posts manually. As a...

Of course, most people have heard of Todd Bentley and the "Lakeland Outpouring".  I have to admit, I do not feel good about this one.  Yes, a person could have manifested in demon possession, to the point of being on the floor, screaming profanities and then being delivered of 25 demons, but after supposedly being a Spirit filled Christian for some time?  That is the point I could not cross over.  I just cannot see how the Holy Spirit and 25 demons could occupy the same space at the same time.  As I see it, a true Christian cannot be...

About a month ago, I had my eyes opened to this passage in Mark, where the man brought his child who was demon possessed to be delivered, but the disciples could not seem to cast the devil out.  The man asked Jesus to help and when asked if he believed, he said: Mark 9:24  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Originally, that sounded like a contradiction, he said he had faith but asked for help with his lack of faith.  My eyes were...

  When was the last time you read the story of Jonah?  We see that he ran from the work God gave him to do because he was afraid.  Then the storm came and caused all on the ship to fear, to the point they finally threw Jonah over into the sea.  Then came God's provision! The big fish that God had prepared for this job, swallowed Jonah and he stayed in it's belly for three days.  What must have gone through his mind for three entire days?  While we never will know, it is amazing the revelation that...

I received an comment on one of the posts by a person who said "if God were to reveal Himself I'd follow but .." and "God on the other hand blesses who He blesses and curses who he curses - I fall into the latter group"..  It is sad to be in such a situation, but often when a person feels like this they are just a step or two away from truly finding God.  The person is at the point of denying God, but more than likely only because he feels condemned and does not see a solution out...

Just a few days ago, my wife and I were watching a documentary about Noah and I was checking on the timeline around the flood.  I noticed something I had not seen before, Methuselah died in the year of the flood, possibly "in" the flood.  I wondered if perhaps I was missing something else so I built out a table giving the life span and dates of the generations from Adam to Abram.  After I built the chart below, I found a a few other interesting facts: Adam died just 126 years before the...

You might notice a few past articles disappearing from this blog.  There are a few articles i am moving to my other site called http://www.TheAwakening.com.  Just wanted to let you know that they are not deleted, they have been moved and some updated a bit.

I was thinking this morning about Israel and how God lead them for 40 years by the pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud during the day, as the pillar moved so did they.  It always seemed to me a marvelous way to follow God, it was clear to see where God led them. What many Christians do not realize is that pillar of fire is now within them to lead and guide them each day.  The Holy Spirit now resides within us and if we keep our flesh out of the way, we can clearly...

Here are a few posts I made some time ago on www.TheAwakening.com.  Since the Awakening site will undergo a major change and these posts will no longer exist, I thought I could make a copy of them here in this post. Faith and unanswered prayer A good example of faith is a light switch. You must first know how to use the light switch. Once you have the knowledge, you will have to take action on that knowledge and flip the switch. Sounds simple, does it not? That is the easy part. You may...

Today, in worship, I ran across a song I had not heard for a while.  While I have heard the song before (as it is in my library from a CD I bought many years ago called "20 Contemporary Songs Of Worship Volume 2"), it was only today did I really allow the words to move beyond my mind and into my heart.  I wanted the lyrics so I did a quick search and finally found them along with some further quotes by the artist, Craig Smith. Here are a few other offerings from Craig Smith that I have...
