New life
Does it really help to spend hours analyzing, thinking about, discussing & meditating on why we think & do the carnal things we do?? If we are new in Christ, why not spend the time forming new habits…

Body Lover
It started about 1,980 years ago, and still it continues. I wonder if Jesus is tired of people bashing His body? If I'm reading Eph. 1:23 right, the church is Christ's body. We are the church because…

Easter comes more than one time per year!
In Luke 2:40 we see that Easter started long before Jesus ever hung on the cross. As a child, he was found in the Temple - that was church back then. He was reading the Bible, and discussing it with others.…

Confidence Vs. Pride
I TOTALLY have a crush on Paul! This man's boldness and confidence amazes me. Sometimes he seems so full of faith, confidence and boldness that his words sound more like pride, arrogance or cockiness…

I love a faithful man.
Justus was a man mentioned in Acts 1:23; I'm not sure we ever hear of him again... But, what a faithful man! The 120 disciples of Jesus in the Upper Room nominated two men, one of whom would replace Judas…

I want fruit, so it's time to pull some weeds!
I really like the parable of the soils. If you'll notice, each example begins with someone who hears the Word. This is not a parable about the lost, but those who've heard the Word. Well, if I'm in danger…

Don't worry.
God is on top of the world's problems, the big ones and little ones. He's bigger than things, stuff you need and stuff you don't. He's not worried, stressed, confused or frustrated. He's in control. He's…

Uncleanness
I know this sounds crazy, but this chapter of Leviticus with all the "unclean" rules reminds me of God's incredible proactivity. Here, he tries to protect his people from eating things that could lead…

Holding hands, gaining honor.
"Sweetheart, please pick up those toys." "Fine! But then it's MY turn to watch a movie!" Obedience without honor. Jordan and I are currently memorizing this passage, Eph. 6:1-4. Even as a teenager I read…

Didn't you realize? Purity is about faith.
"Didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place,,,"? The Bible gives us the underlying reason we defile our body and stray from God's will in this area - He's breaking it down for us to help us change.…

Jesus didn't let people just sit around in church!
If you read Mark 5:18 & 19 you may wonder why Jesus did not allow the demon-delivered man to go with him. He told the man to go home and tell his people what God did and how he had mercy on him. I tell…
