During my daily reading, something jumped out at me. I was reading Isaiah on Thursday, which so happens to be the day that I read the prophets in my reading plan. And I came to a passage in the fourth chapter of Isaiah. It reads as follows: And seven women shall take hold of oneContinue reading ““Let Us Be Called By Your Name””

Saved Past, Present, and Future
The first time I can remember reading the entire Bible was when I was 8 years old. I had one of those “Precious Moments” Bibles in the New King James Version. It was pink and had a little lamb in the right bottom corner of the front cover. My name was imprinted on it inContinue reading “Saved Past, Present, and Future”
Broken
Last Thursday, my son was playing basketball with his friends at the local park. He was running around, dribbling the ball, and making buckets. This guy was just having a good time with his friends. Then, just as he was cross checking an opponent, he tripped on a crack in the pavement and down heContinue reading “Broken”
Live Life Simply
I was making myself some lunch today, and I thought about what I would do if I were to cut out everything extra to live simply. What would I eat? What would I have? What would I wear? What would I do? Of course, I started with what I was doing in the moment: WhatContinue reading “Live Life Simply”
The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom
Where to begin? Isn’t that the question most of us have when we are looking to increase wisdom and knowledge? We look at the pile of books at the library or book store, or we search the seemingly never-ending list of topics with which to learn on the internet. If we are honest, most ofContinue reading “The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom”
Seeking More of Him
Going through the “Read-the-Bible-in-a-Year” reading plan allows me to glean little nuggets that I have passed over in the past. And I find that it is so fruitful to simply and prayerfully read without focusing on a specific subject other than getting to know God more. Reading His Word and sitting with Him allows usContinue reading “Seeking More of Him”
The Thorn of Regret
So many people have suggestions and opinions as to what Paul’s thorn was when he was sharing with the people of Corinth about it. In 2 Corinthians 12, he called his “thorn…in the flesh” a “messenger of satan.” Paul didn’t tell them specifically what it was, but I’m sure we all can speculate in ourContinue reading “The Thorn of Regret”
True Doctrine Leads to Right Living
Walking the paths of life can be difficult and treacherous. It can also be uplifting and exciting. There are curves, bumps, twists, and turns. The scenery can be calm, chaotic, serene, and tragic. The unknown of each step meets us with every event we go through. But the biggest question I have is, “how doContinue reading “True Doctrine Leads to Right Living”
Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16
Inside your mother’s womb, you were being formed and fashioned. Each day that went by was yet another milestone toward the ultimate goal of being born. And while there, each and every body part – each hand and finger, each foot and toe, each organ and bone, each facial feature – was taking shape inContinue reading “Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16”
God is Wise
One of the many attributes that God reveals to us in the Bible is that He is WISE. There is wisdom in His creation, His works, and His ways. The world offers a different kind of “wisdom” that the Bible calls folly. This folly is perversion of God’s wisdom. There is a twisting of theContinue reading “God is Wise”
