The End is Near

280) How do I know? Paul tells us we will see lovers of self and money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its

Praise in the Mundane

279)  Everything we do can be an act of praise: Raising children; singing a song; serving lunch; cleaning a bathroom. All can be moments of praise to our Creator.

If You Poke a Snake

278) There’s an old saying, Don’t poke a snake unless you want to be bitten. It makes sense. Paul also tells us not to provoke or poke our children to anger. This is the opposite of what God requires and may actually interfere in bringing children up to love God.  Ephesians 6:4

Knowing Right From Wrong

273)  If you have ever wondered what exactly is sin, James 4:17 gives us an answer. If you know something is wrong but you do it anyway, it is sin. No excuses; no “I tried not to”; no blame. If you know what is right, make the choice to act accordingly.

What Are You Teaching?

272)  We all know that things we learn as a child stay with us for a lifetime. It is an important truth for us to remember. The question comes down to, what are you teaching? Is it made up of shackles that enslave or an open door offering eternal nurturing and instruction? Proverbs 22:6

Cheap Materials versus Eternal Ones

271)  Romans 12:2 makes a distinction between being a follower of God in disguise and being renovated from the inside out. A disguise may fool some but being renovated is what God seeks to do within us. Let God be your contractor and not yourself. Are you built of cheap materials or eternal ones?
