Expensive Delivery

881) With the way things are going these days, if you can purchase something online, having free delivery is a good deal. Some things, however, are very expensive to have delivered. Since I live in Maine, I know you can have fresh lobster delivered anywhere in the world but the expense will be high. In

I Believe; Help My Unbelief

880) I have read Mark 9:24 many times and as I look at it, it seems it contradicts itself. First, I read- “I believe,” it is a statement of faith. But when I read, “help my unbelief,” that’s where it gets confusing. In thinking about this verse, I wonder if it’s easier to think of

Don’t Be Afraid

879) Whenever I think of God, I have this image of a mighty whirlwind. Someone who is big, powerful and authoritative. These things may be true and because of my image, there’s a part of me that feels like if I encountered God, I would be terrified. In Mark 6:45-56, the disciples were in a

The Unpredictable

Page 186 – The Bottle House After a bit, Chaplain Miller shifted on the bench. “There is comfort in the predictable, but life has a way of interjecting some very unpredictable events.” Stefan nodded, saying nothing. “When the unpredictable happens, we can feel completely out of control. That’s a horrible feeling.” The chaplain looked up

I’m Gonna Tell

878) If you grew up with siblings or around kids in the neighborhood, I’m sure you heard the words, “I’m gonna tell” many times. What did this message mean? It meant that someone saw something you did wrong, and they were eager to report you to your parents or whoever was in charge at the

A Lamp’s Purpose

877) Here in Maine, it gets dark early in the winter. The first winter I lived here, I could not believe how many hours of darkness there are. So, what do you do in the winter in Maine? You keep some lights on in the house. If not, it can get rather gloomy. Jesus tells

The Poll of Public Opinion

876) There is always an abundance of people that would love to see you go down; especially if you have some kind of political or religious footprint. How do you handle this? If we check out Mark 3:1-6, we see the example of how Jesus handled it. There were people looking for an excuse to

Even Servants Need Rest

Page 179-180 – The Bottle House Chaplain Miller narrowed his eyes in concentration. “Yes, there are dozens of verses in the Bible about being a servant to others. We are, indeed, called to be servants of Christ, and that means, in part, that we minister to others. But when we take on so much we

Cause and Effect

875) What we do affects others. I don’t think there is anyone who would seriously disagree with that. An example of this is found in Mark 1:40-45. A man with leprosy came to Jesus, hoping He would heal him. Jesus did, but instructed the man not to go public with this miracle. Unfortunately, the man

Believing is Not Receiving

874) Just because you believe in something doesn’t make it true. I know someone who is convinced that the world is flat, and this person is what I would say, intelligent (in most things). He believes it even though it’s not true. There’s another point to make about believing things. Saying you believe in something
