Thank you for participating in 14 Days of Prayer and Fasting for Our Nation! Along with thousands of Christians around the country, we took the past 14 days to reset our spiritual compass and cry out to Christ in fasting and prayer! This was a nationwide initiative of the Family Policy Council Alliance and the If 7:14 prayer […]
EXALT CHRIST THE LORD THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS As our call to fast and pray comes to a close today, my prayer is that the Son might be exhibited in you in greater measure. In Malachi the age-old battle between the accuser and God’s holy people continues to unfold. The nation called by God and […]
EXALT CHRIST THE LORD THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH Revelation 4 and 5 are a spectacular glimpse into heaven. There is brilliant light, thundering worship, and the majesty of the Godhead! John, the angelic host, the living creatures, and we are overwhelmed by the holiness of the Lord God Almighty. God is on […]
EXALT CHRIST THE LORD OUR EMMANUEL With the name Emmanuel, we exalt our Lord’s humble and holy birth. It brought our holy God to us as sinful people. Humbly, God came in Christ to dwell with us, his promise fulfilled. As we go forward in our daily lives, what a promise to know he is […]

EXALT CHRIST THE LORD OUR GOOD SHEPHERD I like to tell people that I like dogs because my wife loves dogs. She deeply enjoys their company and so she cares for them to be sure they have all that they need. I notice them and might give them something if told to do so. A […]
EXALT CHRIST THE LORD THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Recently I heard a statement that without the sun we would not be able to sustain our physical life on earth. Well, that is certainly obvious, I thought. But we do tend to take the sun for granted. Just as we need the light of the […]
EXALT CHRIST THE LORD THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS Fear overwhelms the heart when trouble rises and there is no one to establish peace. The pain of watching the brutal murder of elementary school kids, the disgusting taste of oppression of a fellow human, the deep sadness of the abandonment of precious […]
DAY 6 EXALT CHRIST THE LORD THE LIVING WORDWhat an amazing Savior we have! He took on flesh as a peasant in a country of nobodies. He humbly served others his entire life. He wept at the graveside of his friend. We can get comfortable with the humanity of Jesus. But throughout the Scriptures, even […]
