Remain in the Light
The other morning I was woken up by two dogs barking at 4 am. The way they were barking made it seem there was some problem. Sure enough, I walked out on to my front porch, and the dogs had a drunk man cornered on our street. He was stumbling around, and they were protecting […]
Do This Even More
Consistency is one of the greatest needs in the workplace. Employers and supervisors are desperate for employees who show up on time and do the job they are supposed to do with a decent attitude. Turnover is increasing because workers don’t want to show up to work and while they are there they don’t want […]
Not of This World
I see a lot of cars with the bumper sticker that says, “Not of this world.” Most of them are done in an eye-appealing way, and some are just the four first letters of each word. It is a good reminder of who we are as Christians and what our eternal destination is. The challenge […]
The Gift of Time
There was a meme I read on the internet the other day that listed how many followers a guy had on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and then it said the only ones outside of his hospital room were his wife and kids. Then it encouraged the reader to invest your time in what we important. […]
Three Promises
The whole premise of a genie in a lamp is that when we rub it, he is supposed to give us three wishes. We can have anything in the world our heart desires, but we can only have three of them. Many people try to treat Jesus like a genie in the bottle. We want […]
Lead Us on the Right Path
Always trust your tour guide. When I was in a foreign country, a guide for another group was telling his people to avoid a specific area because they could walk off a short cliff into a pool. The guard railing wasn’t up, and he didn’t want anyone to fall in. Sure enough, two people weren’t […]
The Perfect Combination
Think of some of the perfect combinations in life: Peanut butter and Jelly, summers at the beach, and Matt Damon in the Bourne movies. It’s almost as if they were made for each other and it’s hard to even fathom one without the other. The church has the perfect combination as well, love and holiness. […]
Remain in Christ’s Love
Many married couples think that their love will get them through difficult times. The problem is that they are often thinking of romantic love. That kind fades away. What truly helps a couple to weather the storms are trust, honesty, and commitment. When we do those, we remain in love. When we obey God’s Word, […]
Pleased to Share with You
Mary Jenner was always ready to help someone out when there was a need. She was quick to make a meal for a sick family or come over and clean someone’s house when they were recovering from surgery. Mary was always giving and serving to those in her church and community. What made her story […]
Tapped Into the Truth
Having someone who can give you competent counsel is invaluable. To be able to get things off of your chest and hear the advice of someone more knowledgeable can be the difference between success and failure. Did you know that Jesus promised us a Counselor who is continually with us? The Holy Spirit is there […]
