Sin Has A Long Reach
Sin is not the number one topic we go to in conversations. As Followers of Christ, we know we are sinners, but we sure don’t want to talk about it. We don’t want sin to be our identity. Actually, sin is not our identity but Christ is. However, if we tell others about our sin,…

Life Behind Me, But More To Come!
As I write this, I’m at the age where I have more life lived behind me than life to be lived before me. If you are where I am, you may understand when I say, “It’s a weird place to be!” Sometimes, I feel like I’m in no man’s land without a job or…

The Blame Game
As human beings, we don’t want to be found guilty for anything, even if we are. It is easier for us to blame others in order to have a reason for our behavior or choices. On the television show, Laugh-in, which aired from 1968 to 1973, Flip Wilson declared, “the devil made me do it!”…

Rebels, Saved By Grace

Jealousy, How Does it Start?
Jealousy is not an emotion we speak of very often. However, we all have, at one time or another, (I’m being generous) been jealous. There are times when we simply state to someone, “I’m so jealous.” This really means that we’re happy for them. We’re talking about true jealousy in this post which can be…

Children – Our Example
“Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” [Matthew 18:4.] Jesus said these words to his disciples in response to their questions concerning who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I’m sure they thought his answer was strange. Let’s consider what Jesus is saying to each…
