The Wise Woman 37:47

I am grateful for the role that women have had in church history and that they continue to have. The first person to accept Christ in the continent of Europe that we know of was a woman named Lydia, and the gospels also describe a number of women who ministered to the Lord. Proverbs 31 describes several criteria of what makes such a "wise" woman wh…

What makes for a great marriage? God puts a priority on marriage, in fact, it was his idea.

Why Words Matter 54:01

I had a birthday a few months ago and turned 60. I felt that now was a good time for me to develop a 10 year plan to set out goals and things to work toward. One of the main tenets is the desire I have to think about the words that are spoken out of my mouth. The harvest created by your words can be either bad or good. God is merciful to us but ult…

Did you know God wants people to not only be whole physically, but also mentally and emotionally? In the book of Job, we read about a man who went through a very difficult period in his life.

God calls us not to burn bridges, but to build them. We are called to restore people and relationships, and the shortest surviving letter of Paul's centers on this concept.

The Key to Success 40:08

In October 2019, I wrote a journal entry where I recorded how I had asked the Lord what life adjustment I could make to have a greater impact on his kingdom. During the night, I felt God deal with me about the importance of meditating the word. I knew that God was saying if I would meditate God's word regularly, I would be more effective to him. I …

One of the greatest blessings God gave me in this world was an older brother. He in some ways was like a father to me and is someone I truly look up to. Family is a dear thing that God has given us on earth, and nothing is more crushing than the death of a family member. Grief can shadow all of the joy in your life and cause you to temporarily forg…

Humility before Honor 50:01

1M ago50:01

50:01

Each year I attempt to come at the resurrection of Christ from a new angle, and this year I would like to focus on the biblical concept of humility before honor. God rewards humility and a self-awareness in a world that is all about "me". Christ gave the ultimate example of humility in the Passion week - he was whipped, scorned, spit upon, and beat…

Abundant Living 53:29

1M ago53:29

53:29

When I first began reading the Bible as a high schooler, I realized so many of the passages warned about money and greed. Indeed, there are many people who fell astray in the Bible due to the unyielding influence of money on their decision making. And yet we must recognize that the Bible does not say money is evil, only that the love of it is. God …

Often there is a question of what happened between the death of Jesus and his resurrection. We are given a glimpse into that interval in the passage Ephesians 4, where it is said that Jesus descended down into the earth before ascending up into the heavens. One sentence stands out in particular: "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, …

The God of Plenty 51:51

2M ago51:51

51:51

What does the Bible have to say about God's plan for us being blessed in life? There can often be some opposition to stating the belief that God wants to bless us in ways other than just non-financial. The simple truth is that Satan does not want you to be blessed, but God wants to provide for you and meet your needs. The prosperity God wishes to b…

We live in a day where there are a lot of distractions and ways to get sidetracked off the main thing. Of course, the main thing in Christianity is to love the Lord our God and to love our neighbor. The main thing is to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. It is obvious from these statements that we are called to run with purpos…

God's Abundant Provision 52:34

The Bible talks about blessings for you, but not only spiritual ones. There is a biblical basis for God blessing his people with material blessings. While we won't have any need for physical possessions in eternity, the fact is that to live in this world money is a requirement. My hope is that we can go through several scriptures that demonstrate t…

How Prayer Shapes Nations 33:28

I believe that despite the darkness of our times, God is going to do a great work and manifest his glory. Psalms 75:7 says, "But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." We can feel powerless in a world seemingly ruled by enemies of God, but it must be remembered that God is sovereign and fully in control of the situation. Th…

God's Plan for Increase 53:28

53:28

I grew up in a good church, but if you had asked me at the time to tell you what the Bible says about money, I would have only had negative things to say from the Bible. Certainly, the Bible does warn against greed and the dangerous pursuit of money. However, I was not fully exposed to the other side of the Bible's relationship to money, its promis…

Are you living God's good life he has planned for every believer? The Bible describes a very specific life that God would desire his children live.

Therefore, it is crucial that the believer exercise thankfulness, avoid bitterness, and posses…

God has a financial plan for everyone. Just as he has a plan that relates to your health, marriage, or family, he also has a plan for and cares about your finances.

Complete in Christ 57:27

Who are you in Christ? What belongs to you in Christ? I am not referring to things that require much prayer and fasting to obtain from God. These are things we have inherited as part of our rebirth in Christ. Colossians 2:10 states that we are "complete in Him." The Bible speaks in both a past and present tense about God's work in us. We have been …
