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

Where They Are

873) I have been given the gift of teaching and have done so for going on 36 years. One of many things I’ve learned when working with middle and high school kids is you must meet them where they are. You don’t walk in a classroom and say, this is how I am; this is

A Long Memory

871) I remember reading somewhere years ago that husbands need to keep in mind that wives have long memories. Yes, I remember where we were, what we were wearing and what the weather was like the day my now-husband asked me to marry him. This alone blows his mind. All he remembers is where we

Go To the Source

870) When someone has ticked us off or wronged us, it’s easy to vent to others, declaring how wrongly we’ve been treated. Most of us like it when we have someone stand beside us and assure us that this thing shouldn’t have happened. In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus describes a better way to handle the wrongs

High Approval Rate

868) We place value or approval on people for multiple reasons. We might attribute value on people in our family; on people in our church; or on people at work. We may value the ones who are committed to living their lives with morals and biblical standards. But, what about the people who claim to

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing

866) As I sat in Sunday school or vacation Bible school growing up, I’d listen to the stories of great men and women of God who appear within the pages of The Book. I’d sometimes say to myself, Well, no wonder they were followers of God; they saw great things and miracles that we don’t

When You Need It; Not Before

865) I like to be prepared. If I know that I have a deadline for writing, I expect that and build it into my schedule. If I know that I have a difficult doctors appointment, I prepare mentally, physically and emotionally, as best as I can. I like to be prepared–no surprises. The difficulty of

The Hard Simplicity of Faith

864) I was brought up in a Christian home, and I’m very grateful for this. Because of it, there are spiritual things that I have wrestled with for many years, and what faith is, is one of them. Many people have made the idea of faith existential; faith is what you make of it. You

How’s Your Health?

863) As I grow older, the questions we ask now are often health-related. How did you sleep? How’s your back? What’s your sugar levels? In knowing that we may have some medical issues that should be checked out, we make an appointment with the doctor and work toward healing. In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus reminds the

Mind Reader

862) In Matthew 9:1-8, the writer tells us something about Jesus that most of us know, but sometimes, because it’s so obvious, we don’t consider often. Verse 4 tells us that Jesus knew the thoughts of the people around Him. That little nugget of truth is important. If you are a half-empty type of thinker,
