Vineyard Days – Grafted In

March 10, 2014 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

For quite some time I have been convinced there is absolutely nothing about one’s life that is not spoken to in Scripture. (This post hits rather close to home, spiritually and physically). Some things are overtly obvious, while others are of a more mysterious nature meant to be searched out and discovered. Embedded within the […]

Vineyard Days – Your Eyes as Doves’

February 12, 2014 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Turn your eyes upon Jesus… Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. Helen H. Lemmel *** I remember the feelings of being a new bride. Beyond the wedding plans and honeymoon, making a home of our own and being […]

Vineyard Days – Under His Shadow, Part 2

January 23, 2014 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

“All earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities… If you would know Jesus, study the vine.” ~  Andrew Murray ~  *** Scripture is full of mystery, yet we are told to ask and be given, to seek and to find, to knock and to have the door of understanding opened up to us. It […]

Vineyard Days – Under His Shadow

January 12, 2014 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

“All earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities…” ~  Andrew Murray ~ Embarking on the new year, I dug out a binder this past week from a class I developed and taught seven years ago; then six years ago; and a third time five years ago. Holy Spirit has been prompting me for several […]

2014 – The Year of Double Portion

December 30, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 6 Comments

Here we stand on the threshold of a new year. Three hundred sixty five days stretching out in front of us. What will we do with them? What will 2014 bring? And in return, how will we respond as it unfolds? I think Isaiah was a branch of the True Vine anointed by the Lord […]

Vineyard Days – A Company of Horses

December 13, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

Sometimes our heart knows what our lips cannot quite articulate. There is a stirring inside that is of a nature not our own. An air of expectancy and restlessness. Anticipation, Heinz ketchup-style. An impatience born of a sense of something greater… I think it’s not too far-fetched to compare such stirring to internally ‘pawing the […]

Vineyard Days – Three Confessions of Love, Part 3

October 29, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

If we could imagine the love of one who loves men purely for their own sake, and not because of any need or desire of his own, purely desires their good, and yet loves them wholly, not for what at this moment they are, but for what he knows he can make of them because […]

Vineyard Days – Selah III

October 19, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Penning Vineyard Days has been to this wellspring’s heart what writer’s block is to an author’s novel. I hit a wall. For four weeks I have been focused on writing other pieces and getting a Fall video series underway with fourteen students in the class. It was also four weeks ago that I posted Part […]

Vineyard Days – Three Confessions of Love, Part 2

September 20, 2013 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

If a branch is going to bear fruit, there comes a time in the believer’s life when growth is not an option. It is a necessity. To advance upon the stairs toward the heart of the Beloved means that Eros love must be left behind and a higher expression of love embraced. It is a […]

Vineyard Days – Three Confessions of Love, Part 1

September 4, 2013 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

The Shulamite’s (and our) progress in spiritual growth can be likened to ascending stairs from one level to the next. The lovely truth is that Shepherd Lover was so intentional in His desire for her fellowship that He designed opportunities for her to respond to Him (just as He does for us). At every level […]
