WHATEVER HAPPENS, RESPOND LIKE JESUS

Philippians 1:27-30 NIV [27] Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.

This is a sign to […]

YOUR HEART WAS NEVER MEANT TO LEAD YOU

[10] “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” Ephesians 6:16 NIV [16] In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil […]

How well do you pay attention?

Proverbs 4:1-22 NIV [20] My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. [21] Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; [22] for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.

Seed Sowers

The farmer I talked about is the one who brings God’s message to others. Mark 4:14-20 NIV In West Africa, people customarily sing as they work in the fields. They lift their voices as they plant in anticipation of the harvest. Perhaps this is how the farmer in the parable appeared as he walked through the field. As he tossed seed, it fell in various types of soil—some hard, some […]

Proverbs 11:29 Those who bring trouble on their families inherit only the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. It’s not difficult to imagine receiving your grandmother’s treasured brooch, but what would it be like to inherit the wind? It sounds grand until you consider the magnitude of the gift. The wind is forceful, unruly, and can strike without warning. It may only whisk your hat off […]

LOVE AND FORGIVENESS WILL KEEP US TOGETHER

“WHAT I LEARNED FROM THROWING A TANTRUM WITH A FRYING PAN” A true story from a husband: One night during my first year of marriage, my wife and I got into a big argument that I haven’t forgotten. It’s not the argument that was memorable, though – it’s the way it ended. We were bickering about something and Raquel refused to listen to the points I was making from the […]
