The Difference Between Hope and Faith

639) Sometimes people confuse “hoping for” with “faith”. The thought is that I hope that God’s promises are true versus, I believe they are. If we think God’s promises are only hopefuls, making plans and life-decisions based on this foundation would be imprudent.  If we know that God keeps His word because we’ve seen Him

Imagination: Friend or Foe?

634) I have been gifted with a great imagination. Ideas for stories, lesson planning and entertainment often come easily to me. There are drawbacks for this gift, too. When I am afraid of something, my imagination makes it worse. It isn’t hard for me to “see” right away the bad in situations. Fortunately, God works

Give of Yourself Fully

631) When we read in the Bible or other books or hear sermons on the subject, it’s easy to assume what “giving of yourself fully” can mean. It must mean to always use the gifts God gave us and work to exhaustion. Even the Greek word for fully, περισσεύω, communicates going “above and beyond”. Yet,

What is it Worth to You?

615) What is it worth to you to find someone who will always save you when you need it? This may include saving you from situations, danger and from yourself. In addition to this, what is it worth to you to have someone who is always delighted to see and talk with you, no matter

My Statement of Faith

614) There have been several events in my life recently that I’ve had to depend on faith in ways I’ve never had to. I found myself saying to God, “You say the ‘just shall live by faith’ but I’m struggling. Whatever You decide (in these situations), I will accept it, by faith.” Sounds like dedication,

Seeing is Believing, Right?

613) Having grown up in church, I am well-acquainted with the typical “Bible stories.” One of them is the details of an angel visiting Joseph concerning Mary and instructing him to marry her. I might think, No wonder Joseph believed. If an angel came and visited me, I would believe, too. These verses tell us

Just Sit

585) It is always difficult to know what to do when someone you care about is going through “hell on Earth.” My tendency is to try and fix things for them but, unfortunately, most of these types of situations cannot be simply “fixed.” There is one thing we can do for others; we can simply

Cross Your Heart or Your Fingers

581) We learn early in life that trust should be given out cautiously. This is a good thing in that it protects us from harm. Trust is something you give to someone who is trustworthy and the only way to know this is to get to know that “someone”. Knowing that person “crosses his/her heart”

Thanksgiving Requires Faith

the times of unbearable pain? To thank God for allowing the most heart-wrenching things to happen, you must have faith. You have to be willing to say, “Right now really stinks but, by faith, I trust that God will use it for good in my life.” This is not a one-time acknowledgement. I may have

The Possibility of Impossibility

568) In Genesis 7, God asks Noah to do an impossible thing for an unheard-of event. Build an ark so huge it would not fit on a football field. Gather up the animals that were sent to him because rain and a flood are coming – something he have no idea of what it was.
