Reconstructing Law

When I was a little girl, I would soak up things like a sponge. I was a stickler for facts, rules, truths. When I burned my arm on a kerosene heater in a failed attempt to reach my Snoopy balloon, while receiving treatment from a nurse, I advised her that it was her poor eating … Continue reading Reconstructing Law →

Privileged to Drink

The Message translates today’s verse this way: “You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you’re still one body. It’s exactly the same with Christ. By means of His … Continue reading Privileged to Drink →

Established Faith

Knowing about God is not the same thing as knowing God. This is where there is a great divide: between the knowing about or the truly knowing and experiencing the presence of God in your life. In 1 Corinthians 2:5, we read: “For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but … Continue reading Established Faith →

What Benefits You

Today and tomorrow, we are going to look at the two different motivations we read about in Romans 8:5 — “Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities” (TPT). Today, we focus on how … Continue reading What Benefits You →

Unjust Scales

My dog Max is very food driven. When I have food, his eyes are glued on me. It is his desire that I share whatever food I have available. When I am getting Max and Marci their breakfast and dinner, Max watches me closely. It’s as if he is watching to make sure that I … Continue reading Unjust Scales →

Established by Grace

What a warning we find in today’s verse. We read in Hebrews 13:9: “Don't be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by food regulations, since those who observe them have not benefited (CSB). The writer of Hebrews is speaking … Continue reading Established by Grace →

Isn’t It Enough

Over the past few months, I spent some time doing some upgrades in the kitchen. I usually am not big into changing the decor or even spending money; however, there were some items on my Amazon wish list, and a whole lot of quarantine time to go shopping. A new marble cutting board. An over-the-sink … Continue reading Isn’t It Enough →

A Sharing Faith

In life there has always been an us and them division. Over the years, this division has continued. Even in the most diverse gatherings, we see smaller groups and cliques that promote a lack of unity. In Philemon 1, we read in verse 6 of a “participation in the faith,” a faith that “we hold … Continue reading A Sharing Faith →

Precious to Me

Everyone has something that they deem as precious. Parents see their children as precious. Some people are amazed by different pieces of art and would deem the pieces to be precious. We have precious items behind glass, locked up in a safe, or even placed in museums. Each person has a different opinion as to … Continue reading Precious to Me →

Fortune Cookie Devotion Series: Wiggle

"Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle." When I saw this “fortune” cookie, I laughed out loud. A wiggle? When I think of wiggle, I think of the Wiggles, a children’s musical group that my kids loved to listen to over a decade ago. I can still find myself singing along to those songs … Continue reading Fortune Cookie Devotion Series: Wiggle →
