That's an average of almost 14 words for every minute of the day. Wow! That's a lot of words. But, do we ever stop to consider if we are using our words well? In the book of James, we are reminded that the tongue is a small but mighty member. An uncontrolled tongue is dangerous and can bring us trouble and difficulty. To speak...

Hello Reader, Psalm 34 is a beautiful Psalm written by David describing the happiness and peace of those who trust God. Throughout the chapter, David describes our actions and God's response. In conclusion, those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. Psalm 34:10 Let's look closer at...

Hello Reader, When I think about decay, I think about old things that, due to age, are rotting and if it's metal rusting. Over time, everything on earth will age and decay. In Mark 13, Jesus told us that "my words (scripture)" will not pass away. The Bible does not fade, and it will not change. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Mark 13:31 John 1 tells us that...

I know that when you mow, you should go in a square gradually, making your square smaller until you finish. I try to push the mower in a square, but somehow, my lines aren't exactly straight; they look something like this: But when I'm finished and look at the big picture, I don't see all the crazy lines and turns; I see my pretty yard. A man’s...

We have a choice to live and walk in God's ways or the ways of the world. In Psalm 84, the writer urges us to walk in God's ways and describes the blessing of God's presence. We are reminded that choosing to walk in God's ways for just one day is better than 1,000 days in sin. A strong contrast that God's ways are better. For a day in your courts...

Yesterday, our Pastor started a new series on the book of Ruth. The story of Ruth (and Naomi) is an encouraging story of God working in the details of Ruth's life to turn sorrow into joy. Ruth 1:22 is a verse with a small detail that most people would read right over and not notice, but it's a very important...

Most of God's names describe a part of His nature or character. Today, we will look at El Roi, meaning you are a God who sees. In Genesis 16, Abram and Sarai are promised a son, but Sarai has not conceived. Rather than wait for God, Sarai comes up with her own plan. She decides Hagar (her Egyptian maidservant) will be her surrogate. When Hagar does...

Usually, when squirrels put nests in this window, it's because they are going to have baby squirrels. You guessed it. A few days later, I saw a few tiny baby squirrels in the window. But this mama squirrel is very protective of her babies. She hides the baby squirrels by building a tunnel in the nest...

It could be a graduation day, a wedding day, the start of a new job, or the birth of a child. These days are important, and when we tell others about them, we are usually enthusiastic. We are excited. Our excitement spreads to others, and we tell them our good news. He first found his own brother, Simon, and said...

I heard the fedora Harrison Ford wore in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom sold for $630,000 at auction last Friday. Wow! That's high value for a hat worn in a movie. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 What do you place value on? This verse from Romans 5:8...
