In Luke chapter 18 verses 9-14 give us an example of pride. The Pharisee was so secure in his religious acts. He was sure that his own works were enough to make him right with God. In contrast we see the humility of the publican. He didn’t stand as close to the altar, he didn’t… Continue reading What is Your Pride Preventing?

If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
Being a Wife Before Marriage
Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Does this mean a man can’t be favored or blessed by God before marriage? Not at all. We see over and over in Scripture that men are blessed and used by God before and after marriage, not just… Continue reading Being a Wife Before Marriage
What Do We Really Deserve?
I absolutely dislike, maybe even hate, the word “deserve.” I don’t think this word or mindset has any place in the vocabulary of a Christian. I am trying to be careful here.

Thoughts from Haggai
This little book of 38 verses sends quite a message to the people of Haggai’s day, but it sends a message to us as well. In chapter 1 we see the phrase, “consider your ways” a couple of times and the chapter ends shortly after God says, “I am with you, saith the… Continue reading Thoughts from Haggai
Yes, I am a Christian, but…
Yes, I am a Christian. But I am not perfect. I do not always represent Jesus as well as I should or even as well as I desire to. I do not intentionally do or say things that will make my Saviour look bad. I do not purposefully push you away from Him. The… Continue reading Yes, I am a Christian, but…

When Will You Leave Egypt?
Today’s thoughts are from Exodus chapter 3. So much has happened up to this point. The Israelites are in Egypt, in bondage under the new king. Joseph has died, the Israelites have grown in number, and the new king is intimidated and threatened by their size. His answer is to enslave, control, and mistreat them.… Continue reading When Will You Leave Egypt?
