A Greater Concern

Today’s verse is a hard cookie to swallow. Philippians 2:4 says: “Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests” (Philippians 2:4 TPT). When we are born, we are all about the “me” of the world. I want fed. I need a diaper change. I … Continue reading A Greater Concern →

Letter of the Law

I spent a lot of my life as a doer. Even as a young child, I was a stickler for rules and had to share the rules with others who I noticed were not complying. To me, there was a right way and a wrong way. There were boundaries, rules set in place for a … Continue reading Letter of the Law →

Most people do not even know someone who owns a donkey. Even so, we can glean … Continue reading Stop and Help →

We can stay in our comfort zone. The problem is, we aren’t meant to … Continue reading Least of These →

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 [NIV] We learn interesting things about people on Social Media. I quite enjoy getting to connect with people from around the globe, not simply as a … Continue reading Follow Unfollow →
