  “I knew as soon as I heard the statement come from his mouth that my time there was limited.”     We are going to look at 2 -August 17th verses today that have a common theme. Deuteronomy 8 (I’d recommend reading it in full) is a great history lesson of Israel’s journey to the promised land through the wilderness and why God put th…

(For everyone born on the 16th or 2016 or 1916) This week I have been pondering the answer to a question.  Which of Jesus’s promises do I treasure the most?  That is a hard question to answer.  Each one is important.  The promise that no one can snatch us out of His hand is so comforting.  But as of this moment I am so thankful for Hi…

I remember as a kid on my birthday my father would come home from work and have a little something special for me. My father was someone I could always call on when I needed some wisdom or encouragement. That’s why Romans 8:15 reminds me of how special it is to be able to call on your Father when you need Him. I was born into my family …

Have you ever been so excited about something that you couldn’t wait to share it? When something incredible happens – like your birthday – you want to share your excitement. Paul so often in his letters, is so excited to write down the truths of God that his jubilation is very evident. Its almost like he is so psyched up that he is afraid…

The beginning of this passage starts off the topic by saying, “We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” It then goes on to explain that even if a believer has the knowledge that something may not be a technical sin, in this case eating food offered to idols, they shouldn’t do it in the presence of someo…

When I was in the military, there were many times when we would have to conduct our operations in complete darkness. We were not allowed to use light of any kind to see what we were doing. We called it “light discipline”. There were nights when it was so dark that we could not see our hands in front of our faces. Thankfully, we were issued…

    If you’ve spent time on one of today’s social media platforms you’ve most likely come across one of the biggest video trends of the last couple of years. I am not 100% what they are called but for the sake of today’s reading, lets just call them did you know videos. Someone pops out with a DID YOU KNOW?  and it’s usually followed with a …

The subject of bumblebees came in my emails this week.  I try to avoid them when I am working in the yard, but they are one of those ‘God is amazing’ creatures.  Scientists have known for a long time that honeybees communicate the location of yummy nectar to their hive mates.  That is quite amazing.  Now they have discove…

As a teacher it is my job to help students learn and become smarter, and not to hinder their learning. I am not there to make it harder for them to gain knowledge and understanding of information. Rather, I am there to assist them in the learning process. The same is true for Christians. The great commission is to go out and make disc…

Do we truly know what is growing in our lives? Nick Sirianni (Philadelphia Eagles current head coach) told his team that they are like flowers, they must let the roots grow first then they will become what they can be. The Eagles were playing horribly in 2021 (2-5) at the time, but he told his team that their roots are just growing deep…
