Object Lesson: Trees

1706) When I was in college studying to become a teacher, our instructors emphasized the importance of object lessons because they can show a connection to a student in a way that may never be understood otherwise. In addition, object lessons can help spur a memory. Whenever you see the object in everyday life, it

Unholy Sacrifices

1705) It would not surprise me if many of my readers have made sacrifices throughout their lives. Sacrifices of time, money, energy and knowledge are a great gift and yet, have you ever considered that some sacrifices are unholy? Proverbs 21:3 reminds us if we make sacrifices to honor God but we’re not righteous or

Forever

1704) I get an awful lot of junk mail, physically and via email. Some pieces I receive are asking me to buy lifetime warrantees for specific things. What is a lifetime warrantee? It’s usually a warrantee that is offered to you for as long as you own the product. What catches my eye here is

Leaders or Followers

1703) Have you ever considered whether you are a leader or a follower? Why is this important? Because each group has its own set of responsibilities. If you are a follower, you have the responsibility to incorporate all your leader requires. If you are a leader, the responsibility is so much higher. Why? Titus 1:7-9

What’s In Your Toolbox?

1698) When I taught high school Bible in North Carolina, I had several male students who were around 6’ 7” tall. I remember one day when 4 of these young men surrounded me and I laughed as I look so far up into their faces. When you are as tall as these young men, you

Denial Can Be Fatal

1697) Whenever I hear or read of the word denial when associated with the Bible, I always think of Peter. Peter was the disciple who stated he’d never be disloyal to his Master and yet, as most of us know, he did. This is not the denial I think of today. When I read Revelation
