What’s In Your Toolbox?

1698) When I taught high school Bible in North Carolina, I had several male students who were around 6’ 7” tall. I remember one day when 4 of these young men surrounded me and I laughed as I look so far up into their faces. When you are as tall as these young men, you

Denial Can Be Fatal

1697) Whenever I hear or read of the word denial when associated with the Bible, I always think of Peter. Peter was the disciple who stated he’d never be disloyal to his Master and yet, as most of us know, he did. This is not the denial I think of today. When I read Revelation

And Justice for All

1696) I believe the need for justice is hard-wired in most of us. There’s this place within our souls that yearns for the wrongs of this world to be righted, and if someone does not feel this way, it’s still possible to witness injustice and react. There is so much in this life that cries

Identification

1695) Proper identification is vital these days because so many criminals are successfully stealing from people who don’t bother to verify these imposters when they show up. It would be imprudent to not take the extra steps to research the identities of those we deal with. But some verification is difficult, especially with those who

Handholding

1694) Parents have a tremendous responsibility for their children. It is their job to nurture, provide, and protect them. One outward sign of parents taking this responsibility seriously is when they hold the hand of their child when crossing a busy street. This handholding is to protect them when danger surrounds them. Isaiah 41:13 tells

The question we should often ask ourselves is, Am I contributing something good to this person or am I contaminating them with something bad? 1 Thessalonians 5:11 tells us to encourage others

How’s Your Vision?

1692) Because I have a full-time job teaching and a part-time one writing, sometimes both jobs demand multiple hours of attention and contribution. Though I love doing both, I can feel over-whelmed. Sometimes to ease the pressure, I’ll go somewhere, away from my computer screens. When I’m away, I have sat with a cup of

Throwing Emotions

1690) When we hear from someone we love and are told they are going through difficult times, we often feel the burden. This empathy doesn’t change the situation for that person, but it helps lighten the load they are carrying. It is a relief to talk about difficulties with the right people. It’s like you

The Power of One

1689) I am so distressed when I watch the news, read my newsfeeds on social media and even hear the things people yell at each other at public events. Many behaviors today are close to barbaric and I ask myself, what can be done? I can’t change the actions of others, yet Titus 3:2 reveals

The Value of Easy

1688) If something is easy, does it have great value? The answer is no. Why? Because if something is easy, everyone would do it and in comparing it to supply and demand, you get the point. Besides, it’s my experience that anything that starts out easy doesn’t stay that way. Life has a way of
