No Captives with God

1960) The God of the Bible differs greatly from the description and labeling the world has made for him. He never imposes his will; he takes no one captive. God made a choice in loving us and we make a choice of loving him. How do I know this? John 8:32 answers this question.

The Benefit of Comparing

1959) My young scholars, simply because of their age, are quick to compare things. Did he get the same grade as I did? Is my water bottle as good as hers? Did they receive the same penalty as I did? Does my hair look as good as the other girls in my class? These types

That’s Ridiculous

1958) I loved Sunday school and vacation Bible school when I was a child. As I was taught the stories of the Bible, my healthy imagination saw each event.   One that stands out was the story in Numbers 21. It’s where we read about the children of Israel complaining again and God sending serpents

A Word, Please

1957) From childhood, many of us learned our words are important. We’re told to be careful what we say. That’s hard to do considering a statistic I read recently. It claims men speak 7,000 words a day and women, 20,000. (I have my doubts about this because many of the men I know talk continually).

Seeking

1956) As a child, my siblings, friends and I used to play hide and seek. Some of us were better at hiding than others. As you know, one is the “seeker” and the others would try to choose somewhere to hide. It’s interesting to me that many of us can play this game with God.

Filled With Joy

1955) Have you ever considered that God did not have to give us emotions when he created us? Just like our taste buds, God did not have to give us feelings. This is another example of how we were created in his image because God has feelings, too.   We can see an example of

Angled Thinking

1954) As a language arts teacher, I have attended many workshops on the art of writing. Many things stand out in my memory as being helpful and there is one idea which came to mind when I read Luke 12:34.   The leader of the workshop said it is often interesting to take a known

Why He Came Pt. 4

1953) If you’re like me, you’ve seen many things in this life you wish you had not. Throughout my years of teaching, I have seen horrific things. After witnessing these, it makes me wonder, where is God in all the destruction? Luke 4:18 tells us.   Jesus, at the end of this verse, tells us

Why He Came Pt. 3

1953) As a teacher of language arts, I’ve been allowed to choose novels for my students to read as a class. Some of them I would’ve never read had I not been a teacher and I would’ve missed out on some excellent ones. Tangerine by Edward Bloor is one example.   In this novel, the

Why He Came Pt. 2

1952) Okay. I admit I don’t know much about being in prison and I trust I never will. All I know about being a captive is in my head, most likely from movies or books I have read. Even with the most accurate portrayals, I still don’t know this firsthand, or do I? Let’s explore
