911) If we were living in a time when the Old Testament law was the standard of godliness, I think it would make my faith easier. Why? Because here are the set of rules that I must keep and I simply work at obeying them. But now that Jesus was born, lived and died in

When God Asks a Question

910) Sometimes parents (and teachers, too) ask a child a question they already know the answer to. These are times when the adults are giving the opportunity for the child to communicate something they may not have considered or to admit a wrong-doing.

Who is Blind?

905) There is more than one type of blindness, according to the Bible. You can be blind physically but also socially and spiritually, too. In Luke 6:37-42 there is a verse that is often incorrectly used. It says in the first part of verse 37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.” This

Showing Love is Showing God

904) We all have enemies or, at the very least, those who dislike us. How do you feel about them? For me, the answer to this question would depend on what they did to me because of their dislike. Did they treat me differently because they don’t like me? Did they spread nasty rumors about
