Acknowledging the Conflict With Hope

Acknowledging the Conflict With Hope

It is easy to forget that God calls us to be salt and light in this world.  Christ followers can become jaded to the sin and depravity of  the culture and miss how far status quo is from the lifestyle  God calls us to.  Many have done this and find themselves a long way from…

What’s in My Future?

What’s in My Future?

Have you ever wondered what the future held?  Being able to answer that has been the plotline of many stories, TV shows, and movies.  Sometimes it would be very convenient to know what tomorrow holds, sometimes it would be horrible. Only one really knows the future, whether we are speaking of our personal future or…

Customs and Convictions

Customs and Convictions

Probably the most familiar story from the book of Daniel is his rescue from the lions den.  Are you familiar with it?  Daniel's excellence gets him a promotion and that brings great jealousy among his peers.  They set out to ruin him but the job is hard because he is too good so they... you'll…

Learning from other’s mistakes . . . or not

Learning from other’s mistakes . . . or not

George Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".  It might be more accurate to say, "Those who don't learn from the past are condemned to repeat it" because it is possible to know something without really benefitting from that knowledge.  I'm afraid I can testify that it happens a…

How do you handle success?

How do you handle success?

We often hear that difficult times are what reveals a person's true character, but I think that prosperous times might be just as telling, just as likely to produce a fall.  How a person handles success and prosperity is just as telling of there character than how they handle a trial.  Maybe more so. In…

Taking the Good News to Children

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14 NKJV) This passage emphasizes the high view Jesus had of children and the importance of us having the same.  Jesus loves kids and calls us to care for them and…

Getting the Word Out

Getting the Word Out

It's extremely valuable and meant for everyone; but some countries don't allow it.  In spite of it's universal nature, some countries can't get it.  Here in America, however, it can be found free online or for $1 at your local Dollar Tree.  What is it?  God's Word, the Bible. We often don't realize the treasure…

In Your Eyes, How Big is Your God?

In Your Eyes, How Big is Your God?

One way we know very quickly how big our God is to us is when we have to chose between Him and something else, especially if that something else is our life. In America, in our lifetimes, it has been very rare that someone has had to choose between their allegiance to God and their…

Trusting the God Who Holds the Future

Trusting the God Who Holds the Future

Can anyone accurately tell the future?  Even more significantly, can anyone control the distant future, especially as it concerns world events? If you met such a person, would you trust them? Daniel chapter 2 clearly states that no human can tell the future.  It also states, however, that God can.  In fact, He doesn't just…
