My new book should be out in a couple weeks. It's a collection of stories written over the past few years, compiled together as part of my on-going journey with God. Over the next few weeks the Daily Life Journey will feature excerpts from those stories.

Divine Communication
~In D.M. Lloyd-Jones book, The Christian Warfare, he makes this observation, "It's not knowledge we need; it's power. And that is where your moral ethical systems break down and fail completely. They have no power to offer, none at all. We must beware, therefore, of reducing Christianity to mere moral, ethical teaching. God forbid that anybody should still be held in that ignorance and blindness! All that teaching has been tried very thoroughly for a hundred years and more, and it has failed completely."
And if you have no power, you're defenseless. You're a sitting duck. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, which comes to us through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, your life will remain in a topsy-turby state of uncertainty and chaos. There's no power, and there's no freedom in following the rules. The Old Testament law, and modern society's multiple interpretations of Christianity have us falling short of the mark every time. We can't get to God that way. We need the truth of the gospel; the living truth, not the intellectual truth. Jesus said, "But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." (John 3:21) And this truth is what sets us free from the bondage of rules based religion. How do we get there? Lloyd-Jones says, "Divine communication is the whole basis of the Christian faith." I believe if more of us would pursue divine communication with our Heavenly Father, we would see people healed. We would see lives restored. We would see deceptions exposed. And we would live a life filled with divine power and holy freedom like we've never known.~
