We Are Living Books

662) It’s easy for us to be overly concerned with our words and actions. This is an important thing. But sometimes we can forget that our day-to-day words and actions speak loudly. I read somewhere years ago that you may be the only Bible some people read. Genesis 47 illustrates this when Joseph goes to

Admitting We are Wrong

661) Admitting I am wrong is sometimes a struggle. It’s not because I don’t want to “own” the poor judgment, word or action; it’s because I’m afraid that if I bring to others’ attention my error, then they would have nothing to do with me. This is because deep down, I can sometimes think there

Hatred is Powerful

658) Hatred is powerful. It can motivate, burn, rage and murder and where it is present, it affects all involved and not positively. There have been psychological studies of the effect of hating another being, but you really don’t need to read these. All you have to do is observe this in others. In Genesis

Who Needs a Guardian Angel?

657) People throughout history have been interested in angels. If you walk through many big box stores, you will find evidence of them in books, jewelry, and cards. Owners of these stores know angels sell merchandise because they fascinate people. Some Christians say there is evidence in the Bible that ‘guardian angels’ exist. It’s an

Deception is Never a Good Thing

656) I have a quote book where for many years, I have written things I want to remember. One such quote is, A liar better have a good memory. Deception is becoming a common thing in society. In fact, our specific words for lying have developed into: a little white lie, a fib, a falsehood.

Not “I Promise” but “I Will”

653) I’ve mentioned before that words and their meanings fascinate me. This may be a reason one specific word stands out to me in Genesis 17. In the New International Version of the Bible, “will” is used 31 times. As I read through this passage, I also notice that the word, “promise” is not used.

Fear Examined

651) In Genesis 12:10-20, we see a side of Abram that is not revealed earlier. In the chapter, he and his family travel to Egypt because of a famine and therefore, he decides that because he had a beautiful wife, then his life was in danger there. In his irrational fear, and I use the

Grace and the Law

650) Some avoid reading the Old Testament because they think that it is full of “the laws” that God gave His people. While this is true, we see from the very beginning of Genesis that God gave grace to individuals who broke the law. Adam and Eve were given proper clothes, a lesson in sacrifice

The Art of Deflection

649) Because I find words fascinating, it is not unusual that I look up the origins for some of our everyday words. The concept of blame, or better put, deflection is an interesting word. it has a Latin origin that means, to bend away from yourself. The idea is that in deflecting, a person takes

What’s God Waiting For?

648) From the day that God told Noah to build an ark until the flood arrived was 120 years. The Israelites were slaves in Egypt 430 years before God delivered them. Forty years passed until God brought His people into the Promised Land. It was thousands of years before Jesus was born and when will
