Just Do It is a slogan of a famous tennis shoe company. There is a problem with this philosophy. Just Do It implies that we should not even think about what we were are doing and just take a giant leap. This approach could lead us down a path of destruction. You could argue that […]

A Match
Christians are like matches: When a Christian has just been saved, there is a typically a lot of energy just like when a match is first struck. That match has the capability to start a raging fire or it can continue to consume the same fuel and eventually burn out. A Christian that is frustrated […]
Best Plans
I started laying out what I was going to talk about back in December 2018. Figured if I had a list of topics, then I would be a little more regular in my postings. Almost immediately, that list was tossed out as I believe God is leading me to post others things. In this situation […]
Vengeance
We are supposed to love our neighbor as our self and we are to love our enemies. However, this is easier said than done especially when someone hurts those you love. I have been watching “Punisher” and if you think about it, this show goes completely against what God has said. This man’s family was […]
God is Love
As I mentioned yesterday, it seems like there is so much hate in this country. A lot of people also feel like God hates them because He disciplines them. I ask you to think about it this way. If we let people do as they want, then what is to prevent that person from hurting […]
Hatred
Hatred in this country is rampant. Don’t believe me, then ask yourself these questions: Do you get angry when a person disagrees with you? Do you start to call them names when they disagree? Is your first response to hurt the person? Do you want to see harm come to them? Do you want vengeance […]
Spare the Rod
The Bible is full of disciplining our kids and sometimes that means spanking them. It does not mean abusing them and that is where people get confused. Proverbs 13:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Hebrews 12:11 New International […]
Life
In today’s society, life has absolutely no meaning. Before you freak out, let me explain. Violence is on the rise everywhere. When we have a disagreement, we do not talk it out anymore, we resort to violence. We think it is funny to blindside people with a punch. We run people off the road. We […]
Kindness
I know I have talked about this before, but I will do so again. Kindness: the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate . This concept seems to have escaped us. People are no longer kind to one another. In fact they go out of there way to be the exact opposite. Take today, I […]
Be Content
I know that at times I like to complain because things are not going the way I want. Take my job as I mentioned yesterday, I would rather be home with the family than on the road. Matthew 6:25-26 New International Version (NIV) Do Not Worry 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your […]
