Continued from last month Every wilderness experience Holy  Spirit leads us into is custom-tailored by God for each of us so we can humble ourselves, learn from the experience, be tested, cleansed, and “broken.”  Then and only then can the Master Potter re-form, re-mold, re-shape, and re-store us more and more into the image of Jesus,Continue reading “May 2011: The Wilderness #2”

Wilderness: n.  A dry, hot place;   a wild, isolated, barren, place;  an obscure or unknown place; a deserted, desolate place. The English word, “wilderness,” appears over 300 times in the Bible, making it an important subject simply by the large number of references.  Bible scholars and teachers often focus on the “wilderness experience” of Jesus (Luke 4:Continue reading “April 2011: The Wilderness #1”

Continued from last month NOTE: In classes, seminars, workshops, and study groups I teach, I continually remind my students not to take my word for something as being final, to challenge me, to point out where they feel I’ve made a mistake, to ask questions…  I constantly tell them I don’t have a corner on truth—that allContinue reading “March 2011: Faith #2”

Traveler: n.  a person who journeys from one place to another.  “Each of us is a traveler through this life, then through the eons of time and beyond—into our final, eternal state of being.  We’re all pilgrims on a journey through this life…to the next life…and beyond.  Yes, we’re all journeying through this life from conception to death,Continue reading “February 2011: Faith #1”

You do realize, don’t you, that among our thousands of regular readers–and visitors to this website–some will die this year, in 2011? Could YOU be one of them? The question is not “Are you prepared to die?” The question is “Are you prepared to live–really live–during your journey?” If Jesus is Immanuel–God full present withContinue reading “January 2011: Living Toward Death; Prayer of Jabez”

I know! I know! To be “politically correct” here in USAmerica, we’re not supposed to greet people with “Merry Christmas” these days. The word “Christ” seems to offend a lot of people. But…I’m saying it anyhow: “Merry Christmas!” So there… Let the political correctness police come and arrest me! Slowly but surely Christmas is beingContinue reading “December 2010: Merry Christmas”

           home-sick:  (adjective)  unhappy or sad at being away from home and family; yearning for home. It’s very normal for us humans to be homesick from time to time during our mortal life-journey here on planet earth.  Maybe you’ve been homesick for the farm you grew up on.  Or for the treeContinue reading “November 2010: Kinda Homesick”

To anyone who will listen to me or read what I write, I am always telling them about God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), God the Spirit, and the Bible—God’s complete written revelation of Himself to humankind.  I attempt to communicate to people how extremely “practical” God and the Bible are for our daily living. Continue reading “October 2010: Letter From Peter”

Very Ordinary!  Each September’s issue will be devoted to recapping the previous 12 months of The Traveler and personal events in our lives.  The Traveler is usually only three pages in length; this month, it will be four pages.  We began publishing The Traveler one year ago in September 2009.  At first, we planned to provide it by e-mail to only aContinue reading “September 2010: Anniversary Issue”

New Baby Born! Part of my life story continued from last month’s issue… That day in the shower—April 26th of my 18th year—I didn’t understand anything about what had happened inside me; I just knew something had happened.  A tectonic and cosmic shift had occurred deep inside me that would unalterably change my life  for allContinue reading “August 2010: My Life Story #2”
