The Importance of Encouragement

287) Encouragement is a powerful tool. It can make the difference between a productive and fulfilling life and one of isolation and depression.

The Responsibility of Leadership

286) As leaders, and this would include parents, we have a responsibility to lead our charges and not abuse our power. Leading means you are on their level, encouraging them to follow you. You do not consider yourself better than them. The question is, where are you leading them?  1 Peter 5:3

Eternal Scales

285) We are told in the Bible that each one of us will appear before Christ and our deeds will be weighed. Were they good or bad? We would have no hope if Jesus hadn’t died and covered our bad deeds with His blood. His life for ours; a gift that cost Him everything.  2

Your History is Important

284)  It is fairly common for people to look up their family history which can reveal many unexpected things.

The Power of Salt

281)  Salt is a powerful mineral. With the right amount added to your dish, it enhances the flavor. We are to be The Salt of the Earth but if we are an imitation of salt, we add nothing that’s good. This imitation can even cause others to shun salt or its Source. Be authentic salt.

Praise in the Mundane

If You Poke a Snake

278) There’s an old saying, Don’t poke a snake unless you want to be bitten. It makes sense. Paul also tells us not to provoke or poke our children to anger. This is the opposite of what God requires and may actually interfere in bringing children up to love God.  Ephesians 6:4
