Longing To Be With The Lord
You will show me the path of life. In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 Do you enjoy travel? Or are you a homebody? I guess I’m one of those in-between people who really enjoys going somewhere new… at first. Until I start to miss all…

Thank Who?
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV) There is a scene in the old movie “Shenandoah” where Jimmy Stewart’s character, Charlie Anderson, “thanks” God in prayer for their food only after monologuing about how they…

Our Greatest Need
Sometimes what we think we need, is not what we need. I understand this when my 7-year-old asks me fifty times a day for candy. It’s not best for him; he just wants it. But it’s harder to understand when it comes to my own happiness.

Saving Time
Time is a commodity, just like money. We spend it; we invest it; we even buy it. We don’t ever want to lose it or waste it. We talk a lot about saving it, but the thing is, we can’t really save time; we can only choose to spend it here instead of there.

Miserable Comforters
Then Job answered and said: “I have heard many such things; Miserable comforters are you all!Job 16:2 Have you ever been offered comfort by someone who tried too hard to help you make sense of it? Sometimes we just need other people to hold our hands and weep with us. I’ve often heard cautions about…

Let’s DO This!
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”Isaiah 1:18 I admit it– I’m a nerd. I didn’t always love school, but I did, and still do, enjoy certain kinds…

What Could Keep A Christian Out Of Heaven?
[Abraham] did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Romans 4:20-21 I know there are plenty of people who don’t believe in God or heaven. I want to say…
