Food Coloring in Water

849) When I need to illustrate to my students what kind of impact our actions have on others, I have sometimes used a bowl of water. I have the students gather around it and I take a small bottle of food coloring. I squeeze out one tiny drop into the water and as they watch,

Mercy Examined

848) In thinking about the subject of mercy–giving something good to someone who may not deserve it, I know automatically that I should extend this to others. What is harder to focus on is the fact that mercy is extended to me, too, by God. I sometimes treat myself as if I were a dictator

What are you Hungry For?

847) I love the holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving and culminating in Christmas. There are many reasons for this but one of them is because I can cook some of our favorite dishes. My little dog loves the holidays, too, because he gets to “guard” the turkey in the oven as it cooks. He sits

Power Under Control

846) Each of us has a variety of powers. We have the power to speak. We have the power to think. We have the power to love or hate. When we read in Matthew 5:5 that the “meek will inherit the earth” the word, meek, as used in the Greek of the New Testament, means

Who Inherits?

844) Christianity differs from every other religion. One of its distinctions is the fact that “salvation” and/or “heaven” cannot be purchased. Some may think, Come on, I don’t know of any other religion that can be purchased. Yet, this is a fact. When you have a system in place that outlines exactly what you must

God is so Good

843) When God answers a prayer or gives us help or clear guidance, it’s easy to say, “God is so good.” But what about when God does not answer a prayer in the way we were hoping? What about when help doesn’t come in our timing? What about the situations where clear guidance is elusive?

The Insignificant Is Significant

842) Through the years, I have realized that God loves to take the insignificant and make it significant. It might be in the tiny gift a child drops in the offering plate. It could be the elderly woman who spends much of her time praying or it could be those in every day “menial” jobs,

The World Does Not Revolve Around Me

840) It’s easy to think that without our presence, expertise, and contributions, the world would be in dire straits. On the one hand, God wants to use our lives and gifts for His purposes. Maybe God’s plan is for us to step back and support another who is doing a critical work for Him. John

Role Play

819) Whenever we ask God for direction, strength or guidance, we always have a role to play. This role might include being faithful or grateful. Yet Proverbs 21:31 makes it clear to us that even though there are battles God will win for us, he expects us to “ready our horses” for battle. Often, our

Faith is Not a Feeling

760) When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, they had the blessing of walking with God each day. They saw Him, they spoke to Him, and they, perhaps, laughed with Him. After they made the choice to disobey, all of this changed. Now when they heard Him, they hid. When they spoke
