Signs That Make You Wonder
by Dion Todd February 4th, 2018
While God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will. Heb. 2:4 ESVOnce while in a band, I was witnessing to several people who were outside at a party. It was dark outside, I really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit show up, so I just went with it. Before long a few of the people started yelling, shouting and moving...
An Open Door
by Dion Todd February 2nd, 2018
Let's therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 WEBAccess to God was very limited before Jesus came. There was a thick curtain in the temple that separated the people from the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelt. When Jesus hung on the cross and said, 'It is finished', this curtain was torn from...
Shout To The Lord
by Dion Todd January 30th, 2018

The Packhorse
by Dion Todd January 21st, 2018
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment; John 16:8 WEBThere I stood with my head down, too ashamed to look around me, and every fiber of my being telling me to run out of the door....
Repeat Mode
by Linda Darlene Gibson January 20th, 2018
“You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me” Luke 22: 28-29
It is so easy to worship and give God all the praise and glory when things are going good in our lives, for me I can’t seem to quit smiling and thanking him for all he has done specifically during those times. I am sure most can agree with this,...

Friends in Low Places
by Dion Todd January 14th, 2018
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him. The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, 'This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.' Luke 15:1 WEBEveryone knows that Jesus came to save the lost sinner, and they were all drawn to Him like a magnet, but the religious establishment of the time grumbled about this constantly. If they had their way, the religious...
Filthy Rags
by Dion Todd January 13th, 2018
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; Isaiah 64:6 KJVAs the preacher looked over the congregation, pondering his next victim, I sank lower and lower in my chair. He always chose someone at random from the congregation to pray, so everyone tried to avoid making eye contact with him during this time. You would suddenly find everyone reading their Bible or...
Stop Making it Difficult
by Dion Todd January 9th, 2018
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell. Acts 15:28 WEBAfter Jesus ascended to the Father and the gospel started to spread, gentiles (non Jewish people)...

Band on the Run
by Dion Todd December 14th, 2017
Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me. Many there are who say of my soul, 'There is no help for him in God.' Selah. But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. Psalms 3:1 WEBDavid wrote these words while fleeing from his son Absalom, who plotted to kill David and become king in his place. Almost everyone that David...
This Thing is From Me
by Dion Todd December 11th, 2017

Keep the Fire Burning
by Dion Todd November 30th, 2017
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh's glory filled the house. 2 Chronicles 7:1 WEBWhen the Israelites built the tabernacle and the altar under the guidance of Moses, God lit the fire (Leviticus 9:23).

Draw Me Close To You
by Dion Todd November 22nd, 2017
Therefore Jesus answered them, 'Don't murmur among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. John 6:43 WEBI could see from the look on their face that if they could have just one wish granted in the entire world, that it would be for me to stop telling them about Jesus. At other times, I have seen people come to me of their own...
And God Laughed
by Dion Todd November 21st, 2017
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Psalm 138:7 WEBThey say that if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. While this sounds strange, I have...
The Dead End
by Dion Todd November 20th, 2017
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalms 32:8 NIVRecently when the Lord was ready to start something new in our life, He started closing out the old. Of course we panicked, tried giving more, praying more, fasting more, serving more, but nothing helped. So we decided we would do this, but this turned out to be a dead end. Then...

The Weed Eater
by Dion Todd November 19th, 2017
Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. James 3:10 WEBOut of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring...
Get Me To The Church On Time
by Dion Todd November 16th, 2017
The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh's sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth. Judges 3:7 WEBCenturies ago, when it was time to go to church, there was an excitement in the air, and no one wanted to stay home. It was a convenient religion. Baal was the god of materialism and money, while Asheroth was the god of sex and fertility. Molech was the...
