Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked; you cannot make atonement for your past transgressions, you cannot wipe out a single page in that long black list. And when the King shall ask you for your wedding garment you will be speechless. Look simply unto Jesus, and then…
Fill My Cup to Overflowing, Lord
“You say, ‘I wish my cup would run over!’ What are you doing with it? ‘I am trying to empty it of my old sins.’ That will not make it run over. ‘I have been washing it with my tears.’ That will not make it run over. Do you know the only way of having…
The Value of Christ
Philippians 3:7-8 – “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worthy of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may…

Transitions
As I read the latest Miracle Mountain Ranch Box Cross: Lew’s Lines article on transitions, I understood more how faithful God has been to me in the past six months since leaving the Ranch. As some of you know, my second year at the Ranch was also full of transitions, but the process of coming…

This is the unbelievable story of 38 Jews who survived the Holocaust by living in a cave which now is known as the 10th longest cave in the world, hidden under a Ukrainian prairie. Its a remarkable story: http://www.aish.com/63053312.html
Dehydrated
What is it? How is it that reading Scripture–the very words of God–seems so mundane. I have allowed reading the Word to bore me; it has become only routine. Lord, I am horrified at my own apathy. I am thirsty, yes even dehydrated, but unaware and unmotivated. Renew my love for You and Your Word….
Midnight Miracle in Disguise
At 2:00 a.m. this morning, I embarked on what I planned to be a 10 hour journey to New York for a friend’s wedding. An hour later, I was pulled over on the side of the road after hitting a pothole and blowing not one, but two tires. In the process of changing the first…
