I remember speaking to a lady from Indonesia who was excited to hear that I’d been born in Jakarta. She immediately launched into the native tongue, expecting me to respond in kind. Embarrassed, I had to let her know that I was only there briefly after birth and had no knowledge of the language. She …

Spirit Walkers: Living from the Inside Out
I’ve always been a huge fan of the Old Testament, with its larger than life feats and breathtaking miracles. From Israel’s dramatic exodus to the sun standing still to slaying giants, lions and bears and heavenly fire falling, there is enough to thrill even the biggest seeker. In my eyes, some of the most fantastic …
Spirit Walkers
“But He said we would die,” the woman argued. “And we’re still here. What else might He have lied about?” The man looked around. It was true he’d never actually experienced death, but from the way he’d heard it described, he had a feeling that something ought to have changed. Yet all seemed to be …
The God Who Answers By Fire!
“Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You …
Divine Encounter
Luke 5:1-9 “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” The anguished cry tore from Peter’s lips as he fell to his knees before Jesus. His partners looked on in silence, equally stunned. All still remembered the harsh night out on the Lake with not even a single nibble. Now, after obeying …
Things Unseen

The Tale of a Curser and The Blessed – Part 2
Based on Numbers 23-24 Balaam felt gratified by Balak’s hearty reception. Clearly, the Moabite king had heard plenty about him, and was convinced that he could help.

The Tale of a Curser and The Blessed – Part 1
Based on Numbers 22 Balaam struck his donkey again, frustration mounting. What on earth was wrong with the silly beast? First, she’d wandered off the road into a field and now she pressed so hard against the vineyard wall that his foot was crushed. The donkey inched forward, ears quivering. Just when Balaam thought they …

Calling on the Caller
One of my favorite lines in Donita K. Paul’s ‘The Realmwalkers’ Christian Fantasy young adult book series says that ‘the called must call upon the caller.’ I don’t usually pause to ponder wording in the middle of an action packed book, but this line had me thinking. It can be very easy to relegate the …
Hope Springs Eternal
According to the Encyclopedia of Early Christianity, “The exact date of Christ’s birth is not known.” Why, then, I’ve often wondered, is Christmas celebrated just one week ahead of the New Year? Is it to allow for an extended holiday season? Does it have anything to do with Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor or …
