Growing in a heart-sense of His love

November 15, 2010 — 3 Comments

Over the past several months, Christ has been giving me a deep heart-sense of His love.

This heart-sense of His love is revolutionizing my life, my hopes, my dreams, and my service.

Okay, I’m not in seventh heaven—not even sixth heaven!—and I know there is a long journey ahead; but there is a confidence and assurance, and strength, in my heart of His love. And it is thrilling. I’m still the Sam I was yesterday, yet somehow, something has happened; and I’m different.

My blog this week is an MP3 of a talk I gave in November 2010.

Yes, it is a lot to listen to. It is 30 minutes, but I think it can help us sense the love of God on our hearts. That is worth a drive to K-mart and back.

(Please note: in the talk I get some names confused, I keep saying Rebekah instead of Rachael. Argh!! Please don’t be put off by my tongue-tied-ness. He has been working on my heart. Maybe next he’ll work on my public speaking.)

How do we sustain an intimacy with Christ?

April 30, 2010 — 3 Comments

How can we sustain an intimacy with Christ? There are times when we sense the tangible presence of God, and there are times when we sense an arid desert. God can seem—at times—silent, hidden, absent and even impotent. How in the midst of these deserts can we maintain, sustain, and even increase our intimacy with Christ?
