The Odd One Out

528) 2 Timothy 3:12 tells us that if we follow God, we will be persecuted. I have not had to endure the horrible things many Christian martyrs have through the years. For this I am thankful. I will say that there are times that my writing isn’t always taken seriously in the literary world that

A Marathon

527) I have always admired those who run and even enjoy it. In thinking about this activity, I realize our spiritual lives are like running. Yes, there are sprints but the marathons, those that span many miles, better reflect our Christian life. Every mile is important but what’s most important is finishing the race. It

Who God Is

547) Sometimes we can have an “image” of God in our minds that only emphasizes a few of His aspects. For example, the image of God only doling out judgment is to notice only a small part of who He is. In Exodus 34:6-7, Moses encounters the presence of God. During this event, God informs

The Root of All Evil

524)  One of the most commonly misquoted verses in the Bible is 1 Timothy 6:10. It does not say that money is the root of all evil, rather the love of money is. There is nothing that money can buy that has an eternal value to it. Money is only needed in this life so

It’s All in Who You Know

523) Connections are vital these days. If you want to successfully get in to the college of your choice or snag an interview for a job, it’s often because of who you know. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us we have a connection to God; One who makes it possible to be in God’s presence. Jesus.

The Value of Peace

522)  We hear and use the word peace often. There are peace talks, making your peace with someone and holding your peace. I think peace is underrated. When God gives us peace over a situation, it is a wonderful and healing place to be. Peace is a valuable gift from God. Tap in to it.

Word Are Powerful

521) It is far easier to tear something down than to build it up. Yet, 1 Thessalonians 5:11 admonishes us to build up one another.  Words are powerful. Let’s make the choice to use what we say to encourage rather than destroy.

Speak and Listen

520) 1 Thessalonians 5:17 challenges us to “pray without ceasing”. Whether this is meant literally or not, the idea is the same. God wants to continually communicate with us. Wow! The fact that He wants a dialogue with us is even more mind-boggling. God wants to hear what we have to say, too. This communication

Difficult but Vital

519)  I had a professor at Bible college say that he dreamed he asked God who was the human being that has done the most for Him. The reply was a little elderly woman. Curious, the professor asked what she did that earned this distinction and God said that she spent hours and hours in

We Are Advertisements

518)  Most sports teams bring in a lot of money from selling clothing that advertises their name. We love to wear them as it communicates who we root for. What if we wore clothes that bear God’s name? How would our speech and actions be changed? Colossians 3:17
