God’s Fruit: Faithfulness

1044) Have you ever bothered to read the guarantee/warranty paperwork you receive with products? I have because I’ve considered a few writing jobs that involved writing product copy (i.e. those booklets that many of us just glance at the pictures and hope we can figure out how to use whatever it is.) These tell you

God’s Fruit: Goodness

1043) The Greek word for goodness is agathosune which is only used four times in the New Testament and was not used in secular Greek. This word focuses on doing and/or producing things that are good. I’m sure that many people would want their words and actions to produce good, but where it becomes “sticky”

God’s Fruit: Kindness

1042) My opinion of “mankind” is shaky. Why? Because in my reading and observing, I can see the best in people and the worst. I see people ooze with road rage and I’ve seen people be gracious drivers. I’ve seen people trample over others trying to get the best deals on Black Friday and I’ve

God’s Fruit: Patience

1041) If you are around kids as much as I am (and many of you are around them 24/7), you know that patience is worth buying. Why? Because if you’re patient, you can prevent anger and irritation from infiltrating your heart or, at least, slow down the process. The longer I’ve been a teacher, the

God’s Fruit: Peace

1040) Take a deep breath. When we hear this, it’s usually needed because of tension, stress, or conflict. Why take a deep breath? Medical science has shown that in taking a few minutes and breathing deeply can lower blood pressure, calm your nerves, reduce anxiety and even improve your attention span. Considering this, it’s interesting

God’s Fruit: Joy

1039) I want to be happy is a statement I hear and read about regularly. What’s interesting is when one pursues happiness, it’s a short-term emotional “fix” that is here one minute than gone another. Happiness involves circumstances outside of myself, therefore, it is situation or person- specific. Joy comes from within. Yes, joy involves

God’s Fruit: Love

1038) It’s trendy on social media to see demonstrations of love. You can see a video of a man flying a plane with a banner behind it asking his woman to marry him. There are pictures of weddings online that are elegant and very expensive. Seeing these has always made me wonder how these marriages

Path of Destruction

1037) The world is full of violence that stems from many sources. It comes with wars, words, and writing (to name three) and, unfortunately, the Christian community is often involved in these destructive behaviors. When I consider the repercussions of violence, Galatians 5:14-15 reminds me that the damage we do to others also damages ourselves.

Alienation

1036) The term “bullying” is thrown around a lot today. In fact, there are many business and school policies that deal directly with this important issue. Because this term is frequently used, it’s important to know how the law defines this (at least at schools). Someone is considered a bully when they use their power

Something in the Heir

1035) Because I am a writer, I do a lot of reading. Believe it or not, you learn to write better this way. Among things I read are posts on a few writing websites and I take a mental note of common themes or plots. One of the regular occurring plots is that someone receives
