Against the Grain

1530) I have heard and read of people who believe if you are a follower of God, you live in a sort-of spiritual bubble. You have blinders on your eyes and you live in a make-believe world where God loves everyone and his children just skip around spiritual maypoles in joy and delight. I can

What Seems Isn’t Always What Is

1529) I have mentioned many times in these minute devotions that grace is a subject I struggle with. It’s easy to say, Yes, I understand grace. It’s receiving something good when I deserve bad. Though I struggle a lot with understanding why God offers this to me, I also struggle with what grace implies. If

Quiet Choices

1538) When I approach most things I read, my mind categorizes the information. Some words go into the, “Ah, I’m just in this for the ride,” file and I sit back and enjoy what I read. With other things, I’ll move them into the file of “I need to ponder this a little more”. And,

When It’s All About You

1537) We live in a wonderful country where we can speak our minds and support or protest things we like or don’t like. We can join wonderful causes that seek to make others’ lives better and richer, but have you ever seen individuals who claim they are doing something for a good cause when it’s

Do You Want to be Healed?

1536) The passage of John 5 used to confuse me. Here, in the first 15 verses, Jesus speaks to and heals a man who had been lame for 38 years. No, it’s not the healing that was confusing to me; instead, it was something Jesus says in verse 6. In this verse, Jesus walks over

Bodies, Old and New

1535) As children, our bodies (usually) grow bigger and stronger. When this growth and strength reaches its peak, our bodies begin to shrink and weaken. Is there anything we can do about this? Not really. We can keep fit, giving this degeneration a slower pace but, ultimately, our bodies will wear out. Paul addresses this

Down or Up?

1534) Many years ago, we had a special 2-day “workshop” for all our students at the high school where I taught. There were many things about it that were very good and one comes to mind as I read 1 Corinthians 15:33. “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts

Just the Way You Are

1533)  In my junior high years, I discovered the radio and whenever I had a chance, I would tune in to listen. One song that was released at this time was the song by Billy Joel, Just the Way You Are and I can remember thinking as I listened, Will I find someone special who

Heart of Stone

1532) Life in this world is hard. There is death, betrayal, violence, and words that wound. If you have lived as long as I have, you’ve had your share of these things. If the pain that resulted from this is strong enough, it’s easy to do all you can to turn your emotions off and

Rest Revisited

1531) When I read verses like Jeremiah 31:2, I have a hard time understanding it. Here, Jeremiah reminds us that Israel survived the sword and were blessed in the wilderness. I think this is referring to Israel’s time wandering in the desert before going into the promised land. Even if I’m wrong about this notion,
