Revelation, Renewal, Righteousness, Relationship, Replacement This has been a developmental discovery. Initially I had the 3 R’s as my basic foundation. Then another R emerged and so on till I reached this point that there are 5 R’s: Revelation, Renewal, Righteousness, Relationship, Replacement. And they all define the refining process. I fondly call them –

As I’ve said multiple times in multiple ways… if you don’t know where you are you can’t move to where you want to be. Obvious. However, it seems that we don’t always follow this logic. For some it’s a move along even if we aren’t certain of where we are… or, for that matter, where

First: this is not unusual. Second: what is ‘far’ and how do you define the word? Third:…when and how did it begin? Fourth: ‘feeling’? Whether you define this time as dessert or confusion, I believe we all experience those times when we don’t ‘sense’ the Lord’s presence in our lives. Regardless… He really is there, He

How you spend your money will tell you, regardless of your protestations, what really matters… because we do spend our ‘income’ according to these demands. If you bewail that this is not fair because
