Children Learn More from Actions than Words

09/30/2024

Children are a great responsibility, and they can also be a great blessing. Unfortunately not all of us are or were such great parents. I myself messed up for several years, but God was faithful to keep the life strings attached for building a relationship later on. Yes, many of us would like to go …

A Most Destructive Word?

09/26/2024

There are all kinds of words. Some have great meaning and some have little. Some are powerful and some hurtful. There is one word that God warns us not to put into action, and He deals with people who have done this over and over again. He sees good people become arrogant, and wealthy people become …

What if Jonathan...?

  Friendships are very important to us, and they should be. I don’t believe many people have an intimate, close, best friend they can call on anytime. Most of the relationships we have are acquaintances. There is a real story of friendship found in the Bible. In 1 Samuel, we read the story of …

Before Bethlehem

09/24/2024

Now some may find it hard to understand, but Jesus’ first arrival to the universe was not at Bethlehem. Jesus was here at the time of creation and has always been a part of God. In John 8:54-58, Jesus explains that He knew Abraham and describes himself as “I Am.” Those are the same words Moses …

What Destination is on Your Ticket?

I’ll bet most people know the story of Jonah and the Whale. I’ll also bet that most people don’t truly understand the lesson we are supposed to learn from that story.

God Would Like to Have a Word with You

09/16/2024

Believe it or not, God would like to talk to you everyday. Yet talking with God is not on many to-do lists. Is it because we think He’s not really concerned with our daily lives? Do many think He’s going to do what He wants, so why does He need or care about my comments? If that were true (and it …

The Power We Have with God’s Word

09/10/2024

People fight many battles in their personal lives they don’t have to fight. Jesus himself said in Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” We don’t have to believe Jesus’ words. We can keep on trying to win battle after battle on our own. Or we can accept …

A Valuable Lesson

The last supper was painted by Leonardo DaVinci, a noted Italian artist. The time engaged for its completion was seven years. The figures representing the twelve Apostles and Christ Himself were painted from living persons. The life-model for the painting of the figure of Jesus was chosen first. …

Being Attached to Church

09/03/2024

Today there is a gap being formed of Christians who have become detached from the traditional church. I’m not saying these people aren’t Christians, but there is a separation of Christians and church attendance. There are many people, and I’m one of them, who have at one time been between churches …

Sometimes the Price is Great

08/29/2024

“If I hadn’t done that…” “If I had just waited…” “Why didn’t I listen?” Sound familiar? Each of us think back to times where only if we had done it another way, things today would probably be much different concerning various decisions, opportunities and circumstances of the past. This was what the …
