Integrity Matters

739) I once read that the definition of integrity is when a person does the right thing even though they know no one is looking. The truth of the matter is, if there is an omniscient God, He already knows everything we think and do. David recognizes the value of integrity and considered it a

Cause and Effect

738) No one lives in a bubble. What we do and say always influences others. We can choose to use encouraging words or negative ones, and these words blanket those around us. We can decide to do something, positive or negative, and it also affects those around us. This truth is illustrated in 1 Chronicles

Misplaced Worship

737) As a teacher, I know the value of using objects to illustrate concepts I’m trying to teach my students. For example, if I were teaching the concept of negative numbers, I would take the kids outside and have one of them dig a hole. Then I would put a yardstick in the hole and

Things Unseen

736) I have a little dachshund, Boone, who is so loyal to me, he is rarely more than a few inches from wherever I am. If I’m reading while sitting on the couch, he is plastered to me. It’s funny, though, just about every evening, when it’s dark and the room is lit by a

Faith and Miracles

731) My childhood was saturated with God and His word. Sunday school, Bible classes and VBS were all highlights of my early years. As I grew into adolescents, I experienced cynicism in reading about some of my heroes of the Bible. My thinking was, It’s no wonder they had faith in God, they saw miracles

Make Up Your Mind

730) Do you remember back in our youth when we may have had crushes on someone and be so passionate about it just to have the emotional pendulum swing the other way and with it, our affections went to another? Emotional immaturity is one of these reasons this happens but have you considered that spiritual
