  • Radical Jesus!

    Radical Jesus!

    Was Jesus radical? We need to start by defining radical. According to dicionary.com, radical means extreme, especially as regards change from accepted or traditional forms. As we consider this definition, I believe we can say that Jesus was radical. Here are some examples from the Scriptures: “And Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him,…

    Is the Practice of One Anothers Worth It?

    If you are a follower of Christ, you are aware of the many “one another” passages that are in the Scriptures. If not, just do a google search, and you will find every one of them listed for you. When we really take the time to read over these passages, we will see how hard…

  • Take Notice of the Verbs!

    Take Notice of the Verbs!

    Have you ever taken the time to consider the verbs that are attached to the Lord? The actions which are described in these verbs are so encouraging to my soul. Each day, I pray through a Psalm in the morning. This book is rich with verbs that describe our Lord’s actions toward his children. Today,…

    Flexibility Christmas 2023

    Calendars are great! I love to put things on my calendar. Of course, I always use pencil because of changes that can take place.

    Waiting on the Lord

    Our lives are full of times of waiting. We wait when we go to the doctor, or for test results, or we’re in the wrong line at the grocery store again. These times of waiting are not very enjoyable. There are times of waiting which cause us anticipation which is not unpleasant. Some of these…

    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

    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…

  • Bad News—No Fear

    Bad News—No Fear

    We have all experienced bad news. At times, it comes when we least expect it. There are times when we do expect it, and it’s still hard to process. I’ve received bad news at various times in my life, most of which I didn’t expect. I was having coffee at a friend’s house when I…
