God bless the Osteens, and I mean it
I just watched this interview with Joel & Victoria Osteen, and I had two quick comments to make.
1. It really ticks me off when people bash Joel Osteen. I mean, few things push my buttons more than when people who seemingly have nothing better to do with their time trash talk a successful, happy dude [...]

Life around the holidays — a year of many blessings!
As we head towards Christmas Day and New Year’s, I feel blessed beyond words with all that the Lord has shown me and given to me this year. 2008 was prophesied to be the year of New Beginnings, and lo and behold it certainly was for me in many ways. If this sounds all good [...]

Super Sabbath!
I have a new-found appreciation for the idea of a weekly Sabbath day. I haven’t had a day to spend at home in peace and quiet, free from distractions, for probably a month or more! I’m not complaining, mind you — lots of wonderful and exciting things have been going on, and I had anticipated [...]

God is filled to overflowing with joy!
Editor’s Note: I wrote this last Friday…

Oil of Gladness: the Ministry of Jesus
We’re on a series talking about the “oil of gladness” — a phrase used only twice in the whole Bible. So what is this oil of gladness, and where does it come from?
In the first chapter of the book of Hebrews, the author quotes the following passage from Psalm 45:6-7 as a Messianic prophecy concerning [...]

Oil of Gladness: Glad to be Alive!
I’m not quite up to my usual energy levels after last week’s illness, but I know I promised I’d embark on a series about the “oil of gladness” mentioned in Psalm 45:7 and Isaiah 61:3, so I’ll try to muddle my way through the first post and get the ball rolling!
One of the things I’m [...]

Oil of Gladness
The last few months have been some of the most intense moments of my life, spiritually speaking. Lows, highs, and everything in between. The accompanying strain on the emotions has physically taken its toll on my body as well. I am absolutely convinced my recent illness was greatly exacerbated by my mental state, as generally [...]
