Good morning everyone, Luke 4:7,8-If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’” The temptation here is whether Jesus will be like Adam and Eve again and allow the temptation from the devil […]
It is one thing to be rejected by those we don’t like, but it is entirely another thing to be rejected by those we have poured our lives into – the people who know us and have done things together perhaps for years. This is why divorce hurts so much. We are being rejected by […]
When you are outside, breathe out so that you can see your breath. How long does it last? That’s your lifespan. “Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely […]
Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 8:1-Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. Watching my children learn things and try and "out do" each other on what they know is downright funny at times I have to admit. My oldest being […]
“Unbelievers find God useful. Believers find God beautiful.” What is your honest feeling toward God? Are you angry at Him because He isn’t answering your prayers? Then, you are thinking like an unbeliever. You are angry at Him because you don’t find Him useful. You are not following God. You are following you! Why do […]
Good morning everyone, Genesis 49:28-All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him. I saw one of my "facebook friends" from high school (who is now a Christian) ask a question to everyone who knows her […]
It is so hard to focus on Christ with so many sources of distraction around. And it’s not only the number of distractions but also how easily accessible they are! Before, at least when we were in bed, we had peace and quiet. But now, with cell phones and tablets, we bring our distractions even […]
God seems to be always too late… When we pray, He doesn’t answer. When we ask for help, He doesn’t seem to help. When we are in despair and crying out for the rescue, He doesn’t seem to be there. And we are deeply hurt by this. “If God truly loves us, then why would […]
Good morning, Luke 2:46-After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. If you have ever been promoted to a new position, become a new mom or dad, or moved to a new area of the country or world where the culture is different, […]
It is true what they say: “A parent is only as happy as the least happy child.” My second child has been sick the last several days, and I’ve been feeling the blow of every cough, grabbing of the neck due to sore throat, and every whimper. I haven’t been able to sleep a wink […]
