 A few people have asked why I chose such a strange name for my blog. After all, a plumb line is a carpenter's tool, a simple weight attached to a line for determining the exactness of a vertical line. But, isn't that what it's all about? Aren't we supposed to align our lives to a perfectly vertical line? Of course, His name is Yeshua, the Perfect Son of God, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the earth.
Yeshua lived a perfect, sinless life. He victoriously endured unbelievable persecution and temptation in order that His perfect, sinless life could be the Plumb Line for everyone. Yeshua ... our Plumb Line.

Since Yeshua is now seated at the right hand of the Father, He made sure we weren't left without a written record of His life and character, His sufferings and victories, His rejection and triumph, all of which is recorded in one Book for us to use in His physical absence as an example for our lives.
In order to align our lives to the example of Yeshua, we must be willing to believe the Word of God is divinely inspired, infallible, and truth. No other book ever written or published can make those claims ... NO other book. The Bible is complete and needs no additional revelation by man or woman to enhance it or complete it.
The Plumb Line is my attempt to keep my heart and life aligned to the Word of God. I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation for His glory!

"Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth." (1 Chronicles 16:31)
The Lord reigns. He's in control. He's supreme over all.
Shout it from the rooftops. Sing it in a song. Whisper it in a prayer.
There is no god like our God. He's our all in all. He's Lord of all.
We have been commissioned to tell it among the nations that the Lord reigns both now and throughout all of eternity. If the heavens be glad, if the earth rejoices, how much more should we be compelled to share the news that the Lord reigns.
Don’t be silent. Don’t be ashamed. Don’t let intimidation cause you to hide the fact that our God reigns in your life, in the world, and throughout all of creation.
Intimidation is a veil that hides our light. Matthew 5:16 reminds us, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” If we allow intimidation, backwardness, or self-doubt to silence us, we have hidden our light under the bushel rather than allowed our light to shine before men!
Accept the challenge to share what's in your heart and the Spirit of God will fill your mouth. Tell someone today. Don't let your lips be silent. Our God is worthy of our praise.
Father, again I stand in awe of your majesty and your grace. As the heavens declare your glory and the earth rejoices, Father, help me share my love for You with at least one other person today. I don't want to be silent anymore; I want to tell it to the nations that You, oh Lord, reign supreme over all, amen!
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)
