Deceptive

  1807) Every once-in-a -while, we’ll watch a show that features people looking to buy a place on the beach or some other desirable place. When I watch these, I’ll hear many of them say, We’ve worked hard for this opportunity.  When I hear them say this, sometimes I’ll smirk and think, I work very

Rationalization

1806) As I read through the Gospels, I’m amazed by Jesus’ miracles. Sometimes my faith is being stretched when I have thought, If only I could see one of Jesus’ miracles, it would help my faith. But would it?  Jesus revealed in the parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31), that even though some

The Value of Reflection

1805) Continually looking back on your life can be detrimental. It would be similar to the usefulness of continually looking in the rearview mirror while driving. There is some past reflecting that can be helpful. God demonstrated to Moses on Mt. Sinai in Exodus 19:4. Here, God was reminding Moses of all he did to get

Models

1804) All of us model our behavior to anyone who comes in contact with us. This is not a situation where we can choose some people to model for and others not to. We are modeling when we talk, drive, shop, hang out and more. Because we are models 24/7, Proverbs 20:7 reminds us our children,

Not By Chance

1803) Is there any such thing as chance? I’ve pondered this question, as have many theologians through the years. I’m not sure what answer many of them would give, so I’ll have to use mine here. I think you have to make a differentiation between chance and choice. Chance seems to be something that’s out of

I Know You

1802) How many people know you? Let me get more specific. How many people know how you tick? What energizes you? What your passion is? What irritates you? What’s important to you? What you have done that you are ashamed of? These are things maybe only a handful of people know. Sometimes I’m glad I don’t

Memory and Integrity

1801) Having written so many of these minutes, I’m sure I’ve mentioned I keep a quote book where I jot things I read and think are important or insightful. One quote is: A liar should have a good memory. Quintilian. Proverbs 10:9 reminds me of this quote. If you walk in integrity, you are secure; if

Heavenly Surprises

It might be helpful if we treat others well and leave their thoughts and actions for God to deal with. 1800) I’m not great with surprises. In almost all situations, I’d rather know about something ahead of time rather than in the moment, even if it’s something good. Being aware of this is helpful.

Dependability

1799) We all are known for certain things. Sometimes it’s positive. Yes, he’s a hard worker. Yes, she’s a great listener. Sometimes it’s negative. No, he does a job half-way and then never finishes it. No, you better not confide in her because then everyone will know what you told her in confidence.   Jesus

What God Longs For

1798) For better or for worse, our image of God comes from the exposure we’ve had to him throughout our lives. Many times, this image forms from watching the actions and hearing the words of those who claim to be God’s children. Because people cannot adequately mirror who God is, we must go to his
