We can all gain knowledge. Especially in this day and age, knowledge is everywhere. I can within minutes look up any topic and discover all the knowledge I’d want to know about it. Wisdom however is scarce. Only fools despise wisdom…. – Proverbs 1:7 Wisdom is the ability to gain knowledge of what is trueContinue reading “A Trip Through Proverbs – #2 – Acquire Wisdom”

A Trip Through Proverbs – #1 – Introduction
I love the book of Proverbs. It is probably the clearest book in the entire Bible in regards to understanding. It comes right out and tells you how you should and shouldn’t act, what you should and shouldn’t do. There is so much wisdom in there, but I’ve not heard many pastors preach about it on SundayContinue reading “A Trip Through Proverbs – #1 – Introduction”
I was blind and now I can see
One of the most famous phrases in the Bible comes from John 9:25; …But I know this, I was blind and now I can see! We’ve heard that phrase so many times, but it wasn’t until recently when I was reading through John, that I really and truly read the story that contained those wordsContinue reading “I was blind and now I can see”
A Charter for Freedom
Reading through the Book of Galatians this morning, I found this interesting quote in the comments section at the beginning of the book. The book of Galatians is the charter of Christian freedom. In this profound letter, Paul proclaims the reality of our liberty in Christ — freedom from the law and the power ofContinue reading “A Charter for Freedom”
2 Timothy 1:7 – Be a fearless Christian
I struggle at times with sharing publicly my beliefs. Sure I write this blog, but it’s easy to hide behind this computer screen and not have to face anyone directly. I’ve spoken in front of groups and classes at our church, but despite my discomfort speaking in front of crowds, that wasn’t even that badContinue reading “2 Timothy 1:7 – Be a fearless Christian”
Isaiah 8:13 – With the Fear of God, You Need Fear Nothing Else
Since I was a little kid I’ve heard people say about “Fearing God” or that so and so has “a healthy fear of God”. That always confused me as I was also taught that God was loving and kind and cared for us. He sent his Son to us to save us from our sin,Continue reading “Isaiah 8:13 – With the Fear of God, You Need Fear Nothing Else”
Meditate on the Word of God – Psalm 119
As I was reading this morning, I came across a chapter in a book I’m working through about how important positive thinking is to our mental, spiritual and in fact physical being. In that reading, one of the precepts in making sure you have positive thinking throughout the day is to meditate on the WordContinue reading “Meditate on the Word of God – Psalm 119”
Decide to Believe
So often I read things on how I should act or think or believe and it makes perfect sense. I know that if I just reacted a given way, my thoughts and feelings would move in the direction I should be moving. Always easier said than done. I don’t understand myself at all, for IContinue reading “Decide to Believe”
Expect an Answer – James 1:5-7
When you pray, do you ask God for something. Perhaps an answer to a problem you’re having, or for a blessing you may need? Do you ask God a question on why God has allowed something to happen? Have you asked him about what you are supposed to do next in a situation? I’m sureContinue reading “Expect an Answer – James 1:5-7”
Bible Study Minute – Psalm 118:24 – Today is the day
Today is the day that God has given us. There are days that are easy to rejoice in and there are days that rejoicing is the last thing on our minds. But let’s remember what we learn in this psalm, This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad inContinue reading “Bible Study Minute – Psalm 118:24 – Today is the day”
