A Serious Consideration

1719) In Judges 9, we have the Israelites making the choice to crown a king based on many things other than God’s will. Because of this, Jotham told the people a parable about several trees that wanted to choose another tree to be their leader. First, they asked for an olive tree. This tree declined.

Fatal Attractions

1718) When I am writing these minutes, I search concordances and such to find verses to examine with you and today; I found Matthew 24:28 and was astonished I had never noticed it before, or at least, it never caused me to read and pause. What does it say? Where the corpse is, there the

Check Them Out

1717) In my writing career, I’ve had to hire many people. I’ve hired, book cover designers, editors, formatters (books have to have a specific format, like where paragraph headings need to go, etc.), promoters and website designers. If you’re just starting out in a writing career (or any career), it’s hard to know who to

Fear of Exposure

1716) As I have written several times before, I do constant battles with being afraid of many things. If I were to count all of them, I wouldn’t be surprised if I could list 30 things right off the top. One thing on my list is found in Ephesians 5:11. Here Paul tells us to

Offensive Examined

1715) The word offensive has been in the forefront of media coverage for a while. What used to mean an action that rubbed against or completely broke the morals of a group of people now has become any action or word that another person doesn’t like. So, under this definition, everyone is offensive and experiences

Rubber Bands and Butterflies

1714) A few years ago, I stumbled across a place that was selling butterflies that could fly with a rubber band propulsion. I pictured the faces of my young scholars if I put a wound up one in each of their laptops, so when they opened them, the butterflies would fly out. I got them

Hold Up

1713) John Doone wrote in 1624, no man is an island and yet, how many of us believe we are? Sometimes I make myself an island without realizing it. My thinking is, I am the one who is responsible for a specific thing, not anyone else. I don’t want to bother others when I can

A Day of Opportunities

1712) I started writing these “minute” devotions in 2018 and as my readers have grown in numbers, I will hear about once-a-week from one of you, telling me how a particular minute blessed them. It’s an encouragement to me for many reasons. One of them is, while working full time in the classroom, keeping up

I Am

1711) As a teacher of the Bible, I am familiar with the content of much of the book. I have studied and taught about God’s actions and interactions with people throughout the Old Testament and the New. As I have prepared lessons or devotionals, I occasionally have a hard time relating to the faith of

What God Hears

1710) Sometimes after a tough day at school, I come home and don’t want to hear any noise. Why? Because my ears have absorbed all the sound they can. It’s surprising how even a few 6th graders can generate so much noise. Fortunately, God does not have a saturation point. Micah 7:7 tells us God
