Expensive Delivery

881) With the way things are going these days, if you can purchase something online, having free delivery is a good deal. Some things, however, are very expensive to have delivered. Since I live in Maine, I know you can have fresh lobster delivered anywhere in the world but the expense will be high. In

I Believe; Help My Unbelief

880) I have read Mark 9:24 many times and as I look at it, it seems it contradicts itself. First, I read- “I believe,” it is a statement of faith. But when I read, “help my unbelief,” that’s where it gets confusing. In thinking about this verse, I wonder if it’s easier to think of

Don’t Be Afraid

879) Whenever I think of God, I have this image of a mighty whirlwind. Someone who is big, powerful and authoritative. These things may be true and because of my image, there’s a part of me that feels like if I encountered God, I would be terrified. In Mark 6:45-56, the disciples were in a

I’m Gonna Tell

878) If you grew up with siblings or around kids in the neighborhood, I’m sure you heard the words, “I’m gonna tell” many times. What did this message mean? It meant that someone saw something you did wrong, and they were eager to report you to your parents or whoever was in charge at the

876) There is always an abundance of people that would love to see you go down; especially if you have some kind of political or religious footprint. How do you handle this? If we check out Mark 3:1-6, we see the example of how Jesus handled it. There were people looking for an excuse to

Cause and Effect

875) What we do affects others. I don’t think there is anyone who would seriously disagree with that. An example of this is found in Mark 1:40-45. A man with leprosy came to Jesus, hoping He would heal him. Jesus did, but instructed the man not to go public with this miracle. Unfortunately, the man

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

Wasted Gifts

872) In teaching middle and high school kids, I’ve found through the years that when I ask them what they’re good at; they take a while to compile the list. If I ask them what they’re not good at, the lists are made quickly. After such an assignment, I tell them it’s important to know
