Would you knowingly pick up a bottle of poison, drink it, and honestly believe that it’s not going to hurt you, but that it might very easily hurt someone else? No! None of us in our right minds would believe such an absurd notion.

Now, imagine watching your best friend walk into a room, pick up a glass of poison and start drinking it. You don’t have a problem with this. In your efforts to console her, you let her know that you understand that she doesn’t have any choice but to drink it. If you were in her shoes, you would do the same thing. Hogwash! What kind of a friend would let another friend destroy themselves this way?

Yet, I see this happening all the time. This poison that so many people, even Christians, are drinking is packaged and promoted by Satan himself as Unforgiveness. His advertising campaign is so full of deceptions that many times, even the best of us, fall prey to his scheme of self-destruction. We believe the lie that everyone else in our situation is doing it. What else is there to do but to join the crowd and gulp down a big bottle of this readily available poison called Unforgiveness.

Have you ever felt you couldn’t get through to God . . . Or felt you weren’t hearing from him, or that He wasn’t hearing you?  Have you ever had a hard time in relationships with other people?  It could be that you’ve got congested pipelines – that your plumbing is all stopped up.  When you feel like this, you need to shine the Holy Spirit’s spotlight into your pipeline to see what’s clogging it up.

Many years ago, long before I ever heard Pastor Tom mention it in his preaching, the Lord gave me a personal revelation in the form of a parable.  He showed me that I have two pipes – like plumbing pipes – coming out of my heart.  One of these pipes extends upward to God, which is the passageway for our relationship and communication with Him; the other pipe extends outward horizontally, and is the means by which I relate to other people.

He showed me that our pipeline to Him is the main, and the most important one.  He told me that if His pipeline is clogged up, and not free and clear, it automatically affects our other pipeline reaching out to others.  The only way we can have proper Read the rest of this entry »

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.  (Romans 12:3)

Susan, a young attractive blond came into the office one morning, chuckling to herself.  Now, this was several years ago, but I’ll never forget her explanation when we prodded her into letting us in on what was obviously so funny.

She began telling us that she had been driving down the interstate on her way into work that morning when this other car pulled up even with hers and held its speed driving in the lane to her left.  She didn’t think much about it until she suddenly felt someone staring at her.  I’m sure most of you have had that eerie, uncomfortable feeling knowing that someone was watching you, and at first, Susan was feeling exactly this same way.
