For His Sake

I often hear it said that God loves us so He saved us. It’s true. We read in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (ESV). He loves us. He saves us. However, we need to … Continue reading For His Sake →

Refusing to Confess

We never like to be wrong. Pride. It’s a terrible thing. Not only do we not like being wrong, but we usually are not quick to confess our sin. Rather than confess to God and receive His mercy, we do not take the simple step toward forgiveness. The Psalmist noted that when he refused to … Continue reading Refusing to Confess →

Forgotten Tim Tams

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJGvS2mDQvU/ A dear friend gave me some Tim Tams the other day. I even ate one with my afternoon coffee that very day.

Word and Deed

I often reference the purpose of life. Many people do not realize that we were made to glorify God. People spend a lot of time trying to figure out their purpose. They purchase books. They talk to family, friends, and teachers to gain insight. They try out new things. Everywhere the people look for purpose, … Continue reading Word and Deed →

Wrong Side of the Bed

Sometimes the day does not start out “right.” Many people call this “waking up on the wrong side of the bed.” We have all heard the phrase, “I wish I could just go back to bed and start the day over.” But once God blesses us with a morning, we have to live out the … Continue reading Wrong Side of the Bed →

Frazzled

My dog Max has some issues with other dogs due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He is fine when dogs enter our home. He is fine when he goes to someone’s house and they have a dog. The issue is when we are walking. As a result, I am mindful of when we walk and … Continue reading Frazzled →

Puddles of Life

During our morning walk there was quite a lot of water puddles to make our way around because of the crazy weather during the night. Being a Labrador, Max has no issue making his way through the puddles. I try to encourage him to walk around but sometimes he just walks right on through. With … Continue reading Puddles of Life →

Proclaim the Excellencies

Believers, children of God, are considered “God’s instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference He made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted” (1 Peter 2:9 MSG). Today, the big questions we should ask ourselves: Are you speaking out for Him? Is your … Continue reading Proclaim the Excellencies →
