Seeing

1734) I have read 1 Samuel 16:7 many times, focusing specifically on the part that says, Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.” When I read this verse, I am reminded not to judge others by what I see of them because I cannot see the heart and/or motives of

What Are You Known For?

1733) Like it or not, we all have reputations. If someone asked those around you what you are known for, what do you think they would answer? No, I don’t think other’s opinion of me is most important, but my reputation is, especially if I claim to be a follower of Christ. In Acts 9:36-37,

More Acceptable

1732) There is a verse that is simply stated and yet very difficult to understand. Proverbs 21:3 tells us doing righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Why do I think this is difficult? Because, weren’t the people of the Bible asked to give sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins? Then

Partiality

1731) There is a topic I’ve wrestled with for years and it’s found in Romans 2:11. Here, Paul tells us God shows no partiality. Let’s look a little closer at the last word of the verse. The word partiality means to give or render a judgement based on outward circumstances rather than the motive and

Gift Giving

1730) I recently gave a brief writing assignment to my young scholars. They had to succinctly describe three things they are good at and three they are not. When I walked around the room, it didn’t surprise me they quickly provided me with three things they couldn’t do well and struggled to list the things

Small Represents Large

1729) Have you ever taken the time to figure out how many voices bombard you each day? The obvious ones are from people you see and live with, but have you considered the voices who barge into our lives via newspapers, reading, newsfeeds, polls of all nature, newscasts and more? Now think about what they

Loving Motivations

1728) I’ve been thinking about what motivates people to do things. Motivators can include good health, a paycheck, the rules of the court, fear, and social obligations. Some of these aren’t bad things to motivate you and yet there is one that needs to be at the top of our list and that is love.

The Cost of Attention

1727) When I was growing up, my siblings and I would sometimes play Monopoly. Sometimes these games were so intense, they went on for hours. I remember rounding a corner on the board and landing on something owned by one of my brothers and having to pay “rent” repeatedly. Depending on how well (or bad)

Unjustified Blame

1726) Blame is a subject that attracts powerful emotions. Somehow, in our minds, we try to make sense of difficult things and blame can take a major role in our processing. If we choose to look for “blame,” though, it’s hard to identify who belongs in this spotlight because our emotions can interfere with clear

Who’s Your Boss?

1725) The month of May is an interesting time to be teaching. You’ve got the excitement of end-of-the-year type activities. You have spring weather (though, here in Maine, not always) and Staff and Teacher appreciation week. At our school, our administration does so much to keep the teachers and staff encouraged and appreciated. It makes
