Can Two Years be a Waste of Time?

977) As I look back over the 57 years I’ve been on this earth, so far, it’s easy for me to conclude which of these years have been productive and which ones haven’t. For example, I spent four years in Bible college, learning how to “rightly divide the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Did

Can You Out-Smart God

976) I hope the title of this “minute” took you by surprise. I would too if I were to see it, but have you ever considered that many of us do this very thing regularly? How? Anytime we choose to do things opposed to God’s standards is an attempt to move God off his throne

Thoughtful Consideration

969) Have you ever noticed that some people just want to talk, talk, and talk? There are some that talk so much (and often about themselves) that you rarely get a chance to insert what you think. People like this are frustrating and if the “talker” is of any importance, people may listen, but is

The Value of Discernment

968) God has blessed us with the ability to feel, think, and act. These are important and when it comes to controversial things, we should also use discernment. What is discernment?
