Seeking Heaven on Earth

2576) There’s a yearning I believe Christians have, that maybe isn’t always obvious. It causes us to yearn for heaven and the good things it includes. This yearning believes there will be no more tears, death, sorrow, and crying in heaven. Revelation 21:4. Where some of us go wrong with this promise is that we

Both Sides

2565) Sometimes comparing is good. If you’re in a grocery store, you might pick up several oranges and look closely at each one. You’re looking for the best and freshest fruit compared to ones that aren’t. John 10:10 gives us an important comparison. John reminds us here that God’s enemy (and ours) only seeks to

Sightseeing

2561) I have seen some incredible things while riding or driving around. Once, I saw a station wagon in front of my car that had a dog standing on the roof. It sat down when the driver made a right turn. I have also seen on the interstate highway some men standing beside their car

The Bible and Inertia

2548) I was reading an article recently that focused on inertia. I found it interesting because I can plainly see its fingerprint all around me, including in the mirror. Inertia basically means things love to keep doing what they are doing. Patterns form quickly, and once they establish themselves, changing course will be a fight,

Relational Peace

2536) When I was in high school, we often had what was called Singspiration at one of our youth group leaders’ houses. We had a wide repertoire, and one of them included the song, Let There Be Peace on Earth. The subject of peace brings many words and reactions. Will there ever be peace in

Gates

2527) We had a house once in my childhood that had a fenced-in yard and a gate right in front of the house. We used to put our feet in the bottom part of the gate and “swing” on it; therefore, this gate hung kind of crooked. As I think about gates, I ask myself,

Three Things

2521) I have noticed in my writing that I often use three points, examples or arguments about multiple things. I like this because three give validity for whatever point I’m making. It’s not just two examples or points, it’s three, showing credibility. In light of this, it’s interesting that God, too, uses three things in

The Lions in my Life

2497) I have never been to a circus, though I have seen enough of them on television to picture what happens in a show. One of the things I think I would have been scared to see as a child is a lion in the same cage as a person, and the lion is riled

In Spite

2235) Is there someone on this earth you feel you know fairly well? If so, you know that in spite of how well you know them; you don’t know every thought, motive, fear, experience and more.   In contemplating this, I’m glad my “person” doesn’t know everything about me because there are many things I’d
