Seeing Jesus – For Others
When we are rightly related to the true Vine, He will produce in us the life giving fruit of His Spirit.
Seeing Jesus as the End
“We do not have to go beyond Jesus to something else to satisfy our needs. He is the end of all that we need, and the simple, easily accessible way to that end.” -Roy Hession
Seeing Jesus as the Way
“Victory is not me overcoming sin, it’s Jesus overcoming me.” -Roy Hession
Sinai or Calvary?
“At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away! It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day.”

Seeing God: The Purpose of Life

Reflections on The Calvary Road
This remarkable book, The Calvary Road, has blessed me beyond words. Although we finished all 10 chapters, I had to write one more post to wrap things up. If you have the 2020 (or recent) printing of the book, you will notice the Epilogue at the end. These pages contain a series of interviews between [...]
