Let the Lord in - Proverbs 20

Awe and wonder, amazement and surprise. These are the words that come to me when I ponder the majesty of God – His omniscience and creativity. “What do I mean”, you say. I read Proverbs 20, and certain verses just jump off the page; like verse 27: The spirit (breath in Hebrew) of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the

Remembering the poor (Proverbs 19; James 2; Gal. 2:10)

It is interesting how the Lord speaks if you are paying attention. The Lord has been speaking to me for the last few days about an issue. Let me give you some context. When I first became a Christian almost 23 years ago, I was part of a house church that really lived the Book of Acts, in respect to sharing our possessions and wealth with those

Proverbs 16 - God is more in control of you then you think

To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue. (Prov. 16:1)   Hello Friends and Fellow Travelers, Has this ever happened to you?

The wrong way (Proverbs 14)

“There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12 – Young’s literal translation) Ever gone the wrong way, thinking you are going the right way?

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike


The Hebrew word “Matsa” means to: find, meet, discover, encounter. It is used in Deuteronomy 4:29 where the Lord says, "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Throughout Scripture, there is an invitation from God to find Him; He actually rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). To see God we must be looking for Him.

This blog is a journal of finding God - discovering who He is; learning more about His character and attributes, as I encounter Him in in His Word and world around me. These posts are theological reflections emerging out of a desire to understand how the Creator interacts with us, His creatures. Hopefully, through these you will see how the Ever-present Holy One also invites you to know Him more.
