Jesus’ Role

1821) Like it or not, our view of the world is shaped by how we were raised. We have also been influenced by those who surrounded us in these formative years. With this in mind, we see Jesus’ purpose on this earth through these lenses. Why did Jesus come? Maybe your lenses show judgment. Do you

All Gifts are from God

1820) Many of us have heard of great things people of God have done for him. There are the evangelists, teachers, and missionaries, but have you considered that those who work in the realm of the arts are doing work for God that’s just as important? Exodus 35:35 tells us of those who were designers, engravers,

Air Traffic Controllers

1818) These days, air travel is complicated and frustrating. If you have traveled anywhere in the last several years, it’s inevitable there will be some glitch you have to deal with. Since I’ve spent a lot of time sitting in a plane on the runway, waiting to either take off or for a gate to be

Taste Test

1817) I know a few people who’ve experienced God through someone (or a group of people) who is a child of God but does not send up an aroma that replicates the food God has prepared. When someone tastes the food of Christians, sometimes it’s bitter. Why? Most likely, this food is cooked, seasoned, and arranged

Leaning

1816) Since the Garden of Eden, man and woman often don’t understand each other. After all, I’ve been married to the same man for over 38 years and there are still times when I assumed he meant one thing, when he really meant another. We don’t only make these kinds of mistakes with each other; we

It’s All in a Name

1815) The word “name” means so many things to us. There is: name that price; you name it, that name rings a bell, and more. Though there are many phrases that use this word, I want to focus on your name. Your name is what people call you when they want your attention. They use

For Everyone

1814)  Proverbs 3:27 has an interesting message. It says, Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. (ESV) If you just glance at the verse without looking closer, it seems like a conditional command. Do good to those who deserve it; and you can skip

Full-time Christian Work

1813) Sometimes we get the idea that only those who are pastors or missionaries and such are the only ones who do full-time Christian work. This is not what the Bible says. In Colossians 3:23, we read anything we do for God, even if it’s merely helping someone who needs assistance in something, is doing full-time

No Exemption

1812) When I was young, there was a toy called Weebles. They were an egg-shaped toy whose jingle was Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down. You could place them on the floor, hold one end down, and when you let go, they always popped right back up.   This toy comes to mind when I read

Rock

1811) Where I live in coastal Maine, we have acres of blueberry barrens. The wild Maine blueberries flourish in our well-drained soil. There are some hindrances to their cultivation, however, and one of them is the number of rocks that more than pepper the area. When driving by, you’ll see piles of rocks surrounding the barrens
