The Blessing of Giving

1897) Anyone who has given to someone something that cannot be reciprocated knows the content of Acts 20:35. Here we are told we will receive a better blessing by giving than in receiving. Because of this, Matthew 6:1is important. Here, Jesus tells us that gifts given for the dual purpose of benefiting others and making

Asking Brings Gratitude

1896) Sometimes we forget the Scriptures encourage us to ask God for things. There is no place in the Bible which tells us that asking is wrong.   My argumentative, sometimes pharisaical, brain would shut the door to this, automatically. My thinking is, you can’t ask God to give you a million dollars or to

Difficult People

1895) Living in a fallen world brings lots of challenges. One of them is that we have to deal with difficult people. These people might be in the workplace, our churches, at the doctor’s office, or at home. You know these people! The ones who make you cringe before you even interact with them. What

Approval

1894) It’s funny how you can look at a biblical passage you’ve seen many times and still see something new. This was true of me when I recently read 2 Timothy 2:15. One thing I do to help me see something new is to examine the original language in which this verse was written. Taking keywords

Want Peace?

1893) I recently was doing a poetry writing project with some of my young scholars. I had them write Circle Poems, where you start out with a subject and then let your mind take you to one subject after another, eventually circling back to what you started with. (For example: Trees, wood, cold, winter, snow,

Anxiety Isn’t New

1892) There are many mental, emotional, and even physical ailments that are no longer hidden in shame. These things can be anxiety,  \the inability to pay attention, and the more-than-average swings in emotions.   As one who has to deal continually with anxiety, I find myself ashamed of it from time to time. These are

Steady Growth

1891) Through the years, I have come to realize most things that come quickly, or with little ease, aren’t worth much. This can be true with relationships, situations related to your work, or wisdom. Most things worth having take time. When it comes to our spiritual lives, 2 Corinthians 5:17 weighs in. Paul tells us we

Hostages

1890) As I read newsfeeds, I find there are still people in our world who are snatched and held hostage. There are many reasons and motivations for this, and unfortunately, it still happens. There are those who have been abused by the church and God’s children who see God as a hostage taker. They may feel

Prayer with Legs

1889) When the weather is suitable, I enjoy a walk. Most of the time, I take my little dachshund, Cayce, and sometimes a friend will walk with me. Imagine going on a walk with a friend and neither of you say a word the whole way. Is this natural? Is there as much enjoyment in being

Personal Problems

1888) I am someone who will do just about anything to avoid confrontation. I know the reasons why so, in a sense, I use them to justify not confronting others when necessary. Yet, Jesus commands we do this, and he’s very specific about how it is to be carried out.   Matthew 18:15-20 tells us
