Shakin' up Scripture

Okay, please read these four areas of scripture, then I’ll break it down to my thoughts: “On the seventh day of the party, the king, high on the wine, ordered the seven eunuchs who were his personal servants (Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and...

FINALLY!  There’s a verse to show the doctors when I go get my physical.  I knew it!  See, look at Proverbs 20:23b:  “It is wrong to use scales that are not accurate.”  When I hop on the scales to determine my weight, it’s usually a little higher number than I thought...

It's yours. Take care of it.

“If your wealth was easy to get, it will not be worth much to you.” Proverbs 20:21 I can so relate to this.  Back when I started having to pay for things on my own (many, many years ago), I took better care of my purchases.  I’ve noticed the same scenario happening...

It is not through being a good citizen, working hard to get to heaven, treating people with kindness, following rules, etc. that makes you right with God.  All this is great! But, these actions don’t seal the deal for you to live forever with Christ in Heaven.  What...

The Pressure is on.

The pressure is on. Things need to get done.  You are capable of accomplishing the task, but can feel opposition all around you.  What do you do? This was the scenario in Nehemiah chapter 4, and I’m pretty sure you’ve felt this way a time or two also.  I have. In...

Who's your Superhero?

Another fantastic day in God’s word!  Can I be your Barnabas right now and encourage you to go read the scriptures in “Walking in the Word” now? Oh please! When I read Romans 8:26-9:5 I wanted to do a little “happy dance”. I did, in my mind (My body was too tired. ...

Do I go back to Guatemala?

Wow! Today was another awesome day of reading in God’s word.  In each of the four sections I could think of a something on my heart to journal about.  I need to just stay home from work (just my second day back) and write with God all day.  Oh, okay, to work I must...
