Are You Mature? Part 4 – Bearing with Others (Tolerance)

1058) Today’s minute is dealing with a tricky concept and that is, bearing with others, as used in Ephesians 4:2-3. The Greek word for this phrase is anechó and is summarized in the two-word term, showing tolerance. Yup! A tricky subject, indeed. The subject of tolerance these days comes up frequently and, as most words

Are You Mature? Part 3 – Patience

1057) I hate patience. Wow! Did I express this in print? Yes, I did. Patience is something I don’t “do” very well and the older I get, the less patient I become. I have considered why I am inpatient. I could look back over my childhood or young-adulthood and psychoanalyze this behavior, but I think

Are You Mature? Part 2 – Gentleness

1056) When considering the topic of being gentle, my second title to this “minute” is, Am I speaking softly enough for you to hear me? If this title conjures up a bit of confusion, you’re not alone. We live in a world that has so many options and distractions that if you want to be

Are You Mature? Part 1 – Humility

1055) Having become in recent years a published author, I’ve struggled with something that I had not expected and that is publicity. While I write in the Christian literature genre, I have found that I must actively promote my work because writing for me is now a business. Because of this, I have found a

Glimpses of Better

1054) Take a moment and think back over your life. Did you have ideas about how you pictured your life as being? How does that picture coincide with what actually happened (so far)? What would your life be like had it turned out the way you thought it should? I can’t speak for you but

It’s Hard to Imagine

1053) There are so many things that are hard to understand because of the limitations of our minds. For example, we know what love is, but how much of love can we understand? The Bible says the definition of love is God. (1 John 4:8) Yes, we can experience love and we can give love

Do You Need that Extended Warranty?

1052) There is a routine that is frequently encountered when making specific purchases and is presented to you as a question. When buying most electronics, we are asked if we want to pay for an extended warranty. I will usually answer, No, thank you. What does this “extension” give the one who purchases it? It

Gifts from God: Understanding

1051) Have you ever wished you could know things you do now back when you were younger? Think of the things you valued when 16 versus what you value now. Age is supposed to bring us insight. There are things you now know you could only know because of life experience. Insight is a valuable

Gifts from God: Wisdom

1050) As a kid, I enjoyed watching the show, Leave it to Beaver. I even watch it from time to time now, too. Beaver was a character who was believable; he would often say funny things that were so typical of kids. There was another character in that show I didn’t like and he was

Gifts from God: Forgiveness

1049) Forgiveness is a sometimes misunderstood “thing” some can feel is just something ethereal, that floats by us and is very hard to grasp. The biblical definition of forgiveness isn’t. In Ephesians 1:7-8, the gift of forgiveness is closer to what we understand as receiving a pardon. With this concept, the “crime” committed and its
