Wisdom… from God or man?

Wisdom I find it interesting that when I looked for an image for my thoughts this morning, all I found was: knowledge, books, learning, education, but no particular picture for wisdom. Odd… Except, wisdom is the proper application of knowledge. How do you draw a picture of proper application, it’s an action of the mind. … Continue reading

Worry! What does it get you? NOTHING!

Worry! Worry is something that most of us wrestle with at times, some more than others. However, in considering a passage today that I have often quoted and more often not practiced, I want to encourage you to listen to the words of Jesus. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what … Continue reading

Knowledge… or the lack thereof!

Good Morning! “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Hosea 4:6 This is a very scary thought to consider. That God might reject us … Continue reading

Election Day

Good Morning! Election Day! Today, we have a chance to make a difference in our country by voting for the person who best represents our values.

This is good, and it is … Continue reading

Thinking…

Good Morning! I have been thinking on several different things going on around me today. A situation of which I am aware, where a husband and wife are not communicating clearly and affecting the whole family (this applies to many different families). Another announcement by a very public figure that he is homosexual and proud of it. And … Continue reading

The Word of the Lord

Good Morning! The Word of the Lord remains forever! “…for ‘All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.’ And this word is the good news that was preached to you.” 1 Pt 1:24-25 Good … Continue reading

Freedom!

Good Morning! “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. … For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Gal. 5:1, 13 “Live as people who … Continue reading

Good and Evil

Good Morning! Is there such a thing as good and evil? This passage has been on my mind today. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their … Continue reading
