A Jealous God

1644) I have been writing daily “minute” devotions for approximately 4 ½ years. Though I have a college degree in Bible and have taught it professionally for almost two decades, I do not know everything about the Bible and God, himself. As I write this, I approach the Bible in humility, not assuming I know

I Am Examined

1643) There are many verses in the Bible which use the phrase, “I Am”. Exodus 3:14 reveals God says it and there are many references in the New Testament where Jesus says, “I Am.” John 14:6, for example. Have you ever taken the time to examine the phrase, “I Am?” I can dig into website

Two Types of Healing

1642) If you’ve ever been seriously ill (or even just sick), you most likely will cry out to God for healing. This is biblical. Throughout the Bible, we’re admonished to bring our needs to God. Philippians 4:6-7 But what about the verses in the Bible that promise healing? Jeremiah 17:14–“Heal me, oh Lord, and I

An Obsession with the Ugly

1641) What is it that often catches people’s attention on social media, in the news and on the stage of life? It’s the ugly parts of this world. What so-and-so is doing and whose marriages are failing. Why do we often fall into the trap of being obsessed (or even mildly interested) with these sorts

Enough is Enough

1654) Relationships are important. We need to nurture them to be healthy mentally, physically, and spiritually, yet even though this is true, we should not nurture all relationships. Titus 3:10 tells us there are people who spend much of their time trying to stir up trouble. There are many reasons a person may choose to

A Lot Stacked Against Us

1640) Many of us struggle in our Christian faith because we read verses like John 16:33 and read or pay attention to only the first part. It says, “…in me you (will) have peace.” Does God give us peace? Of course he does, but when we don’t read the rest of this verse, we aren’t

The Thumbprint of God

1639) As an older (or just plain old) educator, I get the pleasure of meeting and often teaching my former students’ kids. It’s uncanny how some of them look exactly like their parent did at the same age. That, of course, is because the children are the images of their parents. We find in Genesis

Cheerleaders

1638) I played basketball for many years in my youth and I found there was one thing that played with my head more than any other and that was silence. When the gym grew silent (for whatever the reason), I found playing the game more difficult. Similarly, when there is no one who is cheering

Truth Misunderstood

1637) In this life, some things are beyond dispute, yet we live in a world that insists on disputing them. An example of this is in the subject of truth. Truth really isn’t a word that’s complicated. Either something is wholly true or it’s not, but the debate of this subject started way back in

Battling Grace

1636) I have a fear, not so much of my drowning, but of watching someone else drown. I’m not sure of the origin of this, but it’s within me. When I see movies where someone is being rescued from drowning, I notice how much the person fights the one trying to save them. I know
