Volksmarches – Revelation 2:5

Revelation 2:5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent an do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place. One of the things we are not very adept at doing these days, is self-reflection. We are very good atContinue reading “Volksmarches – Revelation 2:5”

Time – Revelation 1:4

Revelation 1:4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, Sometimes our view of the world is too small. We lull ourselves into thinking, especially in the currentContinue reading “Time – Revelation 1:4”

The Last Page – Revelation 21:1

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. Have you been tempted when you received a new book, especially a murder mystery, to turn to the last page and find out who didContinue reading “The Last Page – Revelation 21:1”

No Gift Exchange – Revelation 20:15

Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. If you are like most people, you probably received a present that doesn’t fit you or your tastes. The article of clothing in the wrong size or color. The knick knack that doesn’t fitContinue reading “No Gift Exchange – Revelation 20:15”

Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice rom heaven say: “‘Come out of her, my people.’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;” If you are like so many, yesterday ended up with Christmas wrapping paper covering your floor. We try to assignContinue reading “Paper, Paper, Everywhere”

Assign Blame

Revelation 16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” It is amazing when I hear people who have not placed their faith in Jesus blame God when bad things happen. The very person they don’t believeContinue reading “Assign Blame”

Christmas Eve

Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Christmas eve conjures up so many images for me. I think of Christmas carolers and hot cider. I remember the children’s musical productionsContinue reading “Christmas Eve”

Hearing and Seeing

Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. There is often a difference between what weContinue reading “Hearing and Seeing”

Pictures of the Past

Revelation 4:2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. We have a number of photo albums around our house, most collecting dust, if I am completely honest. My wife uses Facebook like a photo album these days. But I realized thatContinue reading “Pictures of the Past”
