Doing the Lords will

Doing what the Lord what’s can be challenging at times. Not because it is hard, but because sometimes we just aren’t sure what that is. To often, we ask the Lord what He wants, but we do not wait to hear the response. Of course we have the Bible, but to me that is more […]

The only Christ someone may see

With the way people act today, it is very easy to be hateful towards them. However, have you ever thought that you, a Christian, are the only Christ they may see? Mahatma Gandhi once made a statement about Christians. “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your […]

Wisdom

Where does wisdom come from?  So many people will tell you that wisdom comes with age and experience.  If that were true, then why do so many older people make choices that seem both unintelligent and unwise yet younger people can make choices as though they have live a thousand years.  There has to be […]

More, More, More

I read a devotion tonight called More, More, More and it referenced Luke 12:13-21 Luke 12:13-21 New International Version (NIV) The Parable of the Rich Fool 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between […]

Proverbs 8:13 New International Version (NIV) 13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil;     I hate pride and arrogance,     evil behavior and perverse speech. […]

I am sure you have heard the cliche “when it rains it pours.”  Well that seems to be the theme for me at the moment. Finally got the sons car on the road and filled with refrigerant for the AC.  Now the car is making a squealing and grinding noise at the same time.  Also, […]

Material things

There are many Christians who think that the possession of material items is wrong, but that could not be further from the truth.  It is not the owning of material items that is the concern, but the importance placed upon them. The fear for many is that they will place more importance on the item […]

To Serve or be Served

Do you think you should serve or be served by others?  You really need to ask yourself this question because so many people actually have it wrong. When Jesus came what was it he said? Mark 10:45 New International Version (NIV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to […]
