Love and Pain

845) Pain is a reality of life on this earth and the greater you love, the bigger the pain. For example, you have a pet that you love and when you lose it; the pain is huge. Many of us spend way too much time trying to avoid pain, but in doing so, you squelch

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,

A Partial Truth is Dangerous

841) Our culture has rewritten the definition of lying and many do not realize this. We say that something is a “white lie” or “fib” when, in reality, a lie is a lie. What’s dangerous about those that lie is when they use a partial truth, they are welding a potent form of lying. Satan

Smooth Talkers

839) It isn’t always easy to know these days who to trust and who not to. Jesus himself warns that there are wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15). So, knowing this is true, how does one know who to trust? The Magi in Matthew 2:1-12 were in the presence of a smooth talker–King Herod. He

What’s Next?

837) Throughout history, there have always been people who claim that the end of the world is near. There have been many dark periods of history when it’s easy to assume this. For example, the Roman Empire, World War II and even the situation of the world today. If you observed how the people of

Fear and Faith

836) I have struggled with fear my entire life. When I was small, I can remember watching The Wizard of Oz and just about turning inside out. In adulthood, as I experienced the joys of life, I discovered that in this world, joy is always coupled with pain. The things that matter to us the

Politics and Scandal

835) I dislike involving politics in my writing mainly because it’s not a subject of my passion and, these days, it’s very divisive. But the content of Daniel 6 brings up the subject of scandals or false scandals and it caught my attention. In this chapter of Daniel, there are those who are envious of
