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

God’s Gifts: Redemption

1048) In Maine, our bottles have a deposit on them. You pay this deposit when you purchase the beverage and you get that fee back when you return the empties. It’s sort of like the drink companies loan us the containers for a small fee and we get that back if we return them. But

The Law of the Seed Revisited

1047) I’ve never been interested in planting a garden and, especially, maintaining it. Those who do this have my admiration because I have been told it is time-consuming and non-stop until the season of growing is over. My grandfather loved to show me what he planted and grew, so I know planting and reaping has

God’s Fruit: Self-Control

1046) Control is something we think a lot about, maybe without even realizing it. Whenever we expect something we don’t like and work to avoid it or whenever we attempt to make someone treat us better, we are seeking control. The thought is often, If I can control it, then I can avoid….. The problem

God’s Fruit: Gentleness

1045) I can’t say exactly when it happened in my career, but as a teacher from “the old school,” meaning, running a classroom with rigid rules and the expectation my students would adhere to it, I discovered these expectations weren’t working. Yes, I am in charge. Yes, the students have a standard to meet, but

God’s Fruit: Faithfulness

1044) Have you ever bothered to read the guarantee/warranty paperwork you receive with products? I have because I’ve considered a few writing jobs that involved writing product copy (i.e. those booklets that many of us just glance at the pictures and hope we can figure out how to use whatever it is.) These tell you

God’s Fruit: Goodness

1043) The Greek word for goodness is agathosune which is only used four times in the New Testament and was not used in secular Greek. This word focuses on doing and/or producing things that are good. I’m sure that many people would want their words and actions to produce good, but where it becomes “sticky”

God’s Fruit: Kindness

1042) My opinion of “mankind” is shaky. Why? Because in my reading and observing, I can see the best in people and the worst. I see people ooze with road rage and I’ve seen people be gracious drivers. I’ve seen people trample over others trying to get the best deals on Black Friday and I’ve

God’s Fruit: Patience

1041) If you are around kids as much as I am (and many of you are around them 24/7), you know that patience is worth buying. Why? Because if you’re patient, you can prevent anger and irritation from infiltrating your heart or, at least, slow down the process. The longer I’ve been a teacher, the

God’s Fruit: Peace

1040) Take a deep breath. When we hear this, it’s usually needed because of tension, stress, or conflict. Why take a deep breath? Medical science has shown that in taking a few minutes and breathing deeply can lower blood pressure, calm your nerves, reduce anxiety and even improve your attention span. Considering this, it’s interesting
