A True Friend– Proverbs 27

Greetings Church, Think of your best friend. Why is that person your friend? Why do you enjoy their company? What are the character traits that you look for in a friend? Proverbs 27 has some things to say about choosing a friend: Verses 1-2 I don’t think we like to hang around people who are always boasting about the things they are

Who's fool are you? Proverbs 26

Good morning Church, I am having an interesting internal struggle writing about Proverbs 26 this morning, and I am not sure why. As I have been meditating on this section of the book, I realize that “God” is not mentioned in these 28 verses. [1]  God is absent! And that is probably just the meaning of the passage. When God is

Say what!!!??? - Proverbs 25

Greeting fellow travelers, Another chapter of Proverbs emphasizing the use of speech – the wisdom herein can’t be ignored. Why does this book talk so much about the wise use of the tongue? (see James 3 for the answer) So much of what we do involves important conversations that can change us or others for the rest of our lives. Think

The Warrior – Proverbs 24

Greetings fellow soldiers, Do you ever think of yourself that way…as a soldier. That is what we are – Soldiers in the army of God who keep marching on towards victory no matter how many times we fall: “for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again” (vs. 16).  We stand as we are commanded to stand, and

Sayings of the wise – Be self-controlled (Proverbs 23)

Hello Church, Have you noticed as we have been working our way through the book of Proverbs, that in the last chapter (22), we started a new collection of proverbs called “sayings of the wise” (starting in 22:17). You will notice that these thirty sayings are wisdom from God, revealed to the sages, for our purpose, to be able to

What’s in a name? Proverbs 22

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. (Proverbs 22:1) What’s in a name? A lot! Try these: Jesus; Martin Luther King; Adolf Hitler; Justin Beiber; What do you think of when you hear those names? There is an instant thought, assumption, pre-conceived judgment about each name you

Proverbs 21 - Come King Jesus!

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. (Proverbs 21:1 NKJ) Greetings faithful ones, the Lord is with you! Last month, April 26th to be exact, I wrote about how God is “more  in control of you then you think”, from Proverbs 16. Proverbs 21 declares God is

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

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.
