If
What if you found an old letter describing a location in your yard where money was buried? Would you attempt to find it? Of course, most people would, but finding cash among your roses isn’t likely. However, the Bible’s promise of treasure is more certain. Consider Solomon’s instructions: “My … Continue reading

Work
Is your candle burning at both ends (while the middle melts away too)? Truth is; balancing life in our modern world is challenging. A simple list of “what to do & what not to do” would be nice, but real life isn’t … Continue reading

Wisdom 19.21
“Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s decree will stand.” – Proverbs 19:21 HCSB There’s an old saying among carpenters, “Measure twice, cut once.”, because after the cut is made, it can’t be undone. Perhaps it’s a … Continue reading

Perceptions
Jesus was a carpenter. Compared to creating the universe, a hammer would’ve been easy to get the “swing” of. But for those who knew Him growing up, the image of a tradesman was fixed in their minds, and that’s all … Continue reading

Higher
How big is God in your eyes? One of the earliest names for God in the Bible is God Most High (Genesis 14:18-20). It’s an awesome description. No matter what we can see or imagine…He’s higher, bigger, and stronger. The … Continue reading

Wisdom 2.6
Who sets the boundaries of your steps? Along the path of life there are many voices speaking their version of “truth”. One of the common calls from the shadows is the phrase, “Follow your heart.” At first, that may sound … Continue reading

Versions
One day while our son was still too young to read, I heard him “reading” one of his favorite books out loud. He knew the characters and narrated the major points correctly, but the details were off…way off. He was … Continue reading

Wordless
Sometimes there are no words. Hurt, grief, discouragement, and disappointment are just some of the things words can’t properly frame. Whether attempting to talk to someone, or attempting to pray, words can lack the ability to properly communicate feelings. The … Continue reading

Wrath
What would God’s wrath look like totally unleashed? Well, the Bible describes His judgment falling on the world during the Flood, His righteous anger burning against Sodom, and destruction of idolatrous groups like the Assyrians; but what would it look like … Continue reading

Meditation
Is meditation compatible with the Christian life? Yes, if it’s the right kind. Meditation as the Bible describes clarifies cloudy judgment, establishes proper boundaries and measures forward progress. The Bible teaches this principle: “8Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever … Continue reading

Intimidation
There may be a desire to have a conversation with someone who needs encouragement, a relationship with Christ, or loving admonishment, but intimidation shows up and crowds out the confidence. Are you worried you’ll say the wrong things or worse … Continue reading

Perspective
Don’t confuse knowledge with wisdom. Saul the Pharisee was a guy who knew the scriptures. As a matter of fact; with his many years of study and memorization, he probably mumbled the Torah in his sleep. After his encounter with … Continue reading

Wisdom 1.7
Are you wise? You probably didn’t answer yes because most people aren’t so bold as to refer to themselves as wise. However, consider what the Bible lists as the criteria for someone to be considered wise: “The fear of the … Continue reading

Opportunity
Who needs you today? As Paul was building on his statement to be “living sacrifices”, he mentioned this: “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” – Romans 12:15 NKJV So who needs you today? You have the … Continue reading

Rest
Does your life need a “pause button”? When God created the world, He set certain “rhythms” in motion; such as day/night, wake/sleep and growth/dormancy. He even modeled it for us by creating six days, then resting one. If you’ve ever spent extended … Continue reading

Influence
When it comes to influence, there’s a lot of voices speaking about method, style, tone, and strategy through a never-ending supply of books, conferences, and social platforms. And when you narrow the subject to Christian influence, it looks much the … Continue reading

Alive
Life can make you numb. Current events or personal circumstances can deaden emotions to the point where we barely sense anything. We know certain things are true, but struggle to “feel” like they are. The truth is, the lost world … Continue reading
