Why do you do the things you do? We all have tasks and responsibilities to do each day. Many of us have several in common. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you do something? Some things are necessary. I do the laundry because it is necessary that I have clothes on, and I… Continue reading Motives Matter

Who are You?
When someone asks us that question, we usually start with our name, and then our profession. Society places a great deal of emphasis on what we do, what we accomplish, and how productive we are. Often we say that we had a good day based on what we got done. Due to this mentality, if… Continue reading Who are You?
Bought With a Price
What was the last thing you spent money on? Did that item meet your expectations? What if it didn’t? Our money is valuable to us. It is something we need and it never seems like we have enough of it. Whether you purchase a $4 cup of coffee, $40 dinner, $400 cell phone, $4,000 vehicle,… Continue reading Bought With a Price
What is a Titus 2 Woman: Part 2
We have already looked at verses 3-5 in a previous post. Today I want to go through verses 7-15. I truly love God’s Word and how He teaches us so much in just a few verses. I believe verse 7 begins giving instruction for all Christians, not just men or women as we have experienced… Continue reading What is a Titus 2 Woman: Part 2
The Blessings of Obedience
John 2:5 “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” This is at Cana of Galilee when the wedding feast Jesus was attending ran out of wine. I am not going to get into the debate of wine versus juice, nor the debate of Christians drinking alcohol. Take that to… Continue reading The Blessings of Obedience
With Good Will
I was struggling a bit in my mind, no doubt a spiritual battle. Satan wants us to think about and act negatively toward our spouses. When praying and looking at Scripture, God gave me this reminder. I am sure I’m not the only one that needs it. Webster’s 1828 dictionary explains good will as being… Continue reading With Good Will
Be like Hur
Exodus 17:8-16 “Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and… Continue reading Be like Hur
Thoughts from Colossians 1
Wow. There is just so much in here! I love how God’s Word comes to life right where we are! This chapter gives instruction and encouragement. Let’s start with the introduction we find here. Paul is the writer and just like in his other letters, he addresses himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ. In… Continue reading Thoughts from Colossians 1
How’s Your Walk?
We hear many things referring to our spiritual walk. Usually, this refers to your daily walk or daily devotions. We are encouraged to be consistent in this area, and I agree that we should be. However, Scripture has a lot to say about our walk. Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the… Continue reading How’s Your Walk?
Prayer & Fasting
When was the last time you fasted and prayed? Unfortunately, fasting isn’t something that is commonly taught or practiced among God’s people. Scripture teaches about fasting and even gives us different examples of what that may look like. In Daniel we see Daniel and the other three young men fasting from the food and drink… Continue reading Prayer & Fasting
