If we have faith to get in the ship with Jesus, we must have faith to endure the seas.
The family that keeps God first
I love to read about families in the Bible. How did early families interact with each other? What was the father’s role in the home versus the mother’s? How did families worship in the Old Testament versus after Christ came and started the Church age? All these things are intriguing to me. I want to …
Who do you love?
I love being around people who are of the same mindset as me. We share similar beliefs, similar lifestyles perhaps. We tend to have many things in common we can talk about. When I am around those who are like-minded, I feel most comfortable. It is easy to be yourself without fear or worry of …
Passing on your faith to the next generation
I love listening to stories of “the good old days”, or how things were before my time. I especially love to hear stories about how God has blessed His people’s lives in their times of uncertainty or hardship. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons I have such an affection for the Bible. It …
Be like the conies
What in the world is a coney? No, it’s not a hot dog topped with Cincinnati chili. It’s a small creature referred to in Proverbs 30:26. I had to look it up! This word refers to a small, stub-tailed, rabbit-like animal, which makes it’s home in the rocks of Africa and the middle east. The …
Where is your heart?
How can one know for sure if they love the Lord with their whole heart? After all, the Bible says a man’s heart is deceitful and wicked…who can know it?
Stop looking in the mirror
Our problem when feeling insecure in any area of our life, is that we have focused more on self, than on Savior.
A certain damsel – a picture of a changed life
Just like in the Bible account of this certain damsel, Satan is defeated when we give our hearts/lives to Christ. But just as He did later in this story in Acts 16, Jesus will work miracles in your life. He will bless your life, simply for being his child, and obeying him.
While I suffer
God’s people are no stranger to suffering. One of the blessings of having God’s written word in the Bible, is being able to read about those who fought battles before us. With the Lord on their side, He worked all things for good to them. (Romans 8:28) We must keep in mind even in our …
Be strong in the Lord!
He is strong when we are weak, he is all powerful when we are powerless. The same God that created this universe lives in your heart! What an amazing thought.
