Give unto the Lord
on February 23rd, 2023
But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 8:18)Over the years, I have heard people use many different excuses to justify why they are giving meager amounts to the Lord, rather than giving back to the Lord the way Scripture instructs. It honestly breaks my hea... Read More

Don’t Stay on the Sidelines
on February 22nd, 2023
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. (1 Corinthians 9:24)If you have ever played sports, you know how frustrating and almost painful it can be to be stuck on the sidelines when you want to be playing in the game. No one wants to get benched; everyone wants a piece of the action. They want to be contributing to aid the t... Read More

Suit up for Battle
on February 21st, 2023
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when... Read More

Defeating Anxiety
on February 20th, 2023
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6)Sometimes, when we are struggling with anxiety, we feel very lonely. We think we are all by ourselves. Throughout Scripture, we are reassured that God will never leave us once we give our lives to Christ.The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit comes to... Read More

Be Sensitive to Your Witness
on February 19th, 2023
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. (Philippians 4:5)When things are going great in your life, you are making lots of money, you are healthy, your relationships are strong, your marriage is solid, your kids respect and honor you, and your parents are blessing you; that is when everyone expects you to be happy. However, when you are going through a difficult season in your life... Read More

Returning to the Lord
on February 18th, 2023
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)Many of us who are parents have children who have walked away from the Lord. It is a tough place to be there. Watching your children make poor decisions is no easy task. As you see them make mistakes, you might start to think back over the years and try to pinpoint where you went wrong. You wond... Read More

Lay Down Your Life
on February 17th, 2023
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)We live in a culture of selfishness; there is no denying this. It seems like everyone is looking out for number one, always figuring out how they can get what they want while refusing to acknowledge the needs of others.As followers of Christ, we need to be different. We need to put others’ needs and desi... Read More

Second Chances
on February 16th, 2023
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21-22)When someone hurts us, our first, fleshly instinct is to distance ourselves from that person. We don’t want to have anything to do with them. If we are really hurt, we might ... Read More

Politics and Faith
on February 15th, 2023
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. (Revelation 1:3)Our country is in an interesting place politically right now, and has been for quite some time. Some people are very extreme with their political views and convictions, listening to and repeating everything they hear on the news. O... Read More

Who Are You Serving?
on February 14th, 2023
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)In this time that God has given us, we need to decide, “Will we serve the Lord?” You cannot have one foot in one place and the other foot in another camp. That is not how God wants you to be. God wants you to take ... Read More

Facing the Truth
on February 13th, 2023
A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2) Chuck Colson wrote a book, Born Again. He got saved in the middle of the Watergate fiasco and served time in prison. God saved him and put him on a path to being a blessing to many people. Chuck Colson founded Prison Fellowship, a prison ministry that touched the lives of thousands of prisoners. One of my ... Read More

Blaming Others
on February 12th, 2023
“The king’s heart is in the hands of the Lord. He directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.” (Proverbs 21:1) I love the story of Ruth Knowlton. She couldn't understand why the woman who had an apartment close to hers didn’t wash her windows. Every time she looked through her windows, she could see her neighbor sitting at her table, eating, or knitting. She was able to see her because the ... Read More
