It’s Confusing Sometimes

1536) I need to confess that sometimes I read a passage in the Bible, I get really confused. I know! That’s coming from someone who majored in Bible, taught it for almost two decades and writes professionally about many parts of Scripture. I found one such confusing place in Matthew 12:1-8    The Pharisees, the

Don’t Miss the Whisper

1535) It’s funny how I often yearn for peace and quiet, but when it’s actually quiet, I feel little peace. When it’s quiet, the voices within my head will often start shouting. I read somewhere that we can speak around 200 words a minute, but we can think 1500 words within that same amount of

A Grief Misunderstood

1534) In this life, we have enemies. These people may not be on the other side of a rifle, but their ammo can be just as deadly. Sometimes these people may be family members or fellow Christians. When our enemies fit into these groups, the pain can be even greater. I think the writer of

Get Off Your Back

1533) In the time I was raised, the church seemed to adopt the notion that if you were a committed Christian; you needed to be responsible. Sounds good, doesn’t it? After all, you need to keep watching your boundaries, choices and attitudes because you want to be faithful to God. I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Is God Good?

1532) I have a confession to make. When I read the Bible, sometimes I shake my head. For example, Psalm 34. In this Psalm, David tells us to praise God all the time (vs. 1). God is great (vs. 3). He delivers us from all our fears (vs. 4). God delivers him from all his

Watch for It

1531) Someone recently showed me a video where a bunch of people are passing basketballs around. Half of them wore black shirts and the other half wore white one. The video instructs you to count how many times the people wearing white pass the ball. If you do it successfully, you’ll count 15 passes BUT,

What Seems Isn’t Always What Is

1529) I have mentioned many times in these minute devotions that grace is a subject I struggle with. It’s easy to say, Yes, I understand grace. It’s receiving something good when I deserve bad. Though I struggle a lot with understanding why God offers this to me, I also struggle with what grace implies. If

Quiet Choices

1538) When I approach most things I read, my mind categorizes the information. Some words go into the, “Ah, I’m just in this for the ride,” file and I sit back and enjoy what I read. With other things, I’ll move them into the file of “I need to ponder this a little more”. And,

When It’s All About You

1537) We live in a wonderful country where we can speak our minds and support or protest things we like or don’t like. We can join wonderful causes that seek to make others’ lives better and richer, but have you ever seen individuals who claim they are doing something for a good cause when it’s

Bodies, Old and New

1535) As children, our bodies (usually) grow bigger and stronger. When this growth and strength reaches its peak, our bodies begin to shrink and weaken. Is there anything we can do about this? Not really. We can keep fit, giving this degeneration a slower pace but, ultimately, our bodies will wear out. Paul addresses this
