Are you frustrated because you don’t know what God wants you to do? Then do what he’s made clear for you to do. Love each other. Forgive each other. Be kind. Be compassionate. Be humble. Be patient. Over and over all throughout the Bible God gives us these directions. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy… Continue reading Direction

The Sun Of Righteousness
We’ve all seen snow on one side of the road and grass on the other. Both areas experienced the exact same conditions, but one remains covered in snow while the other displays grass again. We all know the sun caused the difference in appearance. It made me think about our lives. And how Jesus, the… Continue reading The Sun Of Righteousness
Out Of The Whirlwind
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind… Job 38:1 Why in this account did the Lord answer Job out of the whirlwind? Why did the whirlwind part need to be included? Why doesn’t the Bible just tell us the Lord answered Job? I looked up what others thought the whirlwind represented. The most… Continue reading Out Of The Whirlwind
Compassionate Love From The One Who Walks On Water
This is one of my favorite accounts in the gospel of Mark: “Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the… Continue reading Compassionate Love From The One Who Walks On Water
Bless Them
You want to do something really hard this year? You want to show God you’re serious about following him? Start praying for the person/people who hurt you. The one who every time you think about them it’s every feeling but good feelings. Every time the thought of them enters your mind, pray for them. Pray… Continue reading Bless Them
Serving
Don’t underestimate the gifts God gives you. Whether it’s encouragement, prayer, cleaning up, singing, driving a van, teaching…whatever it is. Just because that gift may not look like someone else’s gift, doesn’t mean it can’t have a great impact for God. We don’t always see the results of our service to Christ. But we were… Continue reading Serving
Funerals
I had to attend more funerals in 2024 than I would’ve liked. Probably for that reason Ecclesiastes 7:2 has been on my mind. It says: “Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it… Continue reading Funerals
Well Water
The temperature of water in a well doesn’t change. Despite whatever is going on outside, be it a blizzard with below zero temperatures or a blazing summer heat, the temperature in a well is largely unaffected by what’s going on around it. A person whose eyes are fixed on Christ and Heaven can have joy… Continue reading Well Water
Direction, Protection, and Guidance
How important are the words we say and the things we teach our kids? Proverbs 6:20 says, “My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.” What we say, and what we teach our children should be their source of direction, protection, and guidance. That’s why it is so… Continue reading Direction, Protection, and Guidance
Don’t Follow Your Heart
Please don’t follow your heart. Marriages and families are torn apart because people follow their hearts. People miss out on God’s blessings because they follow their hearts. Don’t follow your heart. Follow God’s voice. These two are not the same. The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can… Continue reading Don’t Follow Your Heart
