Temples

2460) I have heard many sermons based on 1 Corinthians 10:13. Here, Paul reminds us that we are God’s temple; he dwells within us. Because of this, we should be careful how we treat our own bodies, but sometimes it’s also important to remember that our fellow believers are also God’s temple. If we treat

A Potent Weapon

2459) I grew up in cities, and now that I live in a very remote place, I sometimes forget what it was like. For example, I always needed to be mindful of train schedules, as a stop on the way to work would make me late. I also needed to be very aware of my

Share not Remove

2458) If you have an empathetic heart, it’s easy to want to fix things for those we love. The ability to feel along with others is a gift, but not so we can remove what is bringing pain. We don’t have the power to do that, but we can share other’s burdens. In 2 Timothy

Ignorance is a Choice

2457) The whole body of education has changed through time. I suppose everything changes as the days, weeks, and months pass. In the past, there were many people who could do many things well. For example, my husband knows how to build things, weld, and construct a brick wall, to name only a few. Paul

Now and Then

2456) I admit I read the obituaries each morning in the newspaper. I will gaze at each face and wonder who they were. Sometimes I marvel at their age and read how they passed. I think about those who loved them. I can sense the pain found in the small last column of the person’s

Oil and Fish

2455) I had a very generous grandmother. If she thought I were in need and sometimes, even in want, she was happy to get it for me. When it comes to giving, have you ever considered how God gives? There are two practical occasions that illustrate this, not to mention all the promises God has

Breath

2454) Several years ago, I visited Colorado Springs for a teacher’s conference. I found the scenery stunning, but there was something I hadn’t counted on, and that was the difficulty of breathing. Because the area has such a high elevation, it affected my intake of air; not seriously, but enough to notice. I think of

It’s a Setup

2453) I’ve mentioned before that there are verses in the Bible that are so familiar to me that I often skip over them and study others. However, I have caught myself doing this and try to look a bit deeper into the familiar and discover something more. Ephesians 5:26-27 are some of my “familiar” verses.

Did God Really Say?

2452) I recently read a book about someone’s clinical death and what they saw in heaven before returning to the “now”. I never argue about what someone states as their experience, but proceed to consider them with caution. In this book, the author told of being in Jesus’ presence. How much he felt loved; how

It’s the Action

2451) How many of us remember the jeer we heard as a child, finders keepers; losers weepers? It seemed to put an emphasis on finding rather than losing. It’s an interesting point of view, especially when I read Proverbs 3:13. It reads, blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding.
