Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Learn something. I wonder if it’s true that many people attend church just to feel better. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes that’s what we need … but just sometimes. We need more than that though. More often than […]
Read moreIsaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” God will accomplish what He set out to do. We have a choice to make […]
Read moreOne of my favorite Christmas-themed passages in the Bible is related to the announcement of the birth of Christ as found in Luke 2:8-12.

Read moreHosea 4:5 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee …” It’s amazing how people respond to rumor and innuendo nowadays.

Read more1 Corinthians 10:31 “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” Even while participating in the basics of life … food, clothing, and shelter … God can and must be glorified by what we do. That is our purpose. It must not be about you and […]
Read moreAmos 5:14-15 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate…” Godly advice is always good. It is ageless. It is always relevant.
