WWJD How to?
“Jesus called the disciples off, reminding all of them that if the arrest wasn’t part of His plan that all the angels of Heaven were armed and ready to defend Him. When the disciples saw that Jesus was…

Mom Always Said Ask
Note that the disciples did not ask Jesus to stop the storm. Instead, they complained to Jesus that he was doing nothing but sleeping. I too often complain rather than asking the source for help. This…

Washing Stinking Feet
John 13:1-17 "Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet." I am not as selfish as I use to be and do acts of "washing feet" for those I love, such as family and friends. I test my actions by asking "Is this in…

Suffer = Humble
Unfortunately--no, fortunately--we have to suffer before we become humble to both people and God. Throughout the Bible, God is always patiently encouraging us to come back to Him. I did not understand…

What a Dad!
I read Matthew 3:16-17 with my name inserted where Jesus' name is. Wow! What a Father! I also thought about my own baptism, and imaged the God of the entire universe, etc. focusing solely on me during…

Fruit & Repentance Is a Must Again
It is clear and as essential as air is to breathing that God expects his children to sustain hope by bearing fruit or good works. This passage poises the question what am I doing with what God has given…

Why Is the Power Inside Us Not On Display?
I understand that this passage only pertains to born-again believers. Thus, God is living inside me! This biblical fact should stop all stress in my life, all worrying about what others think of me, and…

Easier Said Than Done
When I get wrapped up in daily stress I loose focus on God. That Jesus Christ already won the war against satan the temporary ruler in the world, and that I have the Holy Spirit in me that can overcome…

My Wicked Tongue
Yesterday I had to apply this verse. After a parent-teacher conference I did not have good thoughts towards my teenage daughter, much less good words, and even much less Godly words. I was so disappointed…

How Is the Bible Like a Seed?

What is God's Will?
Look to Jesus for the answer. He did God's will perfectly; therefore, examine what Jesus did to determine God's will. If Jesus perfectly pleased God, then Christ is a living mirror image of God' will.

How Do I Know Who Is Really a Christian?
Jesus said discern by whether "good fruit" is being produced. If this is the test, do witness me producing "good fruit?"

The Truth Shall Set You Free
Many think following the Bible is restrictive. Maybe it is because like Jack Nicholson's character in the movie "A Few Good Men" when he said, "You can't handle the truth!" Sometimes life seems easier…

Use It Or Lose It
Jesus promised this power to followers. However, faith must be exercised. To illustrate, muscles must be used or they turn to flab. Faith must be used or it will decline. Since God knows what I need why…

The Holy Spirit is Our Witness
When the Bible is moot about a concern my spirit is plugged into the Holy Spirit for counseling. I believe listening and carrying out the Holy Spirit's knowledge is what puts my life in harmony with God's…

Your Inner Voice
Christians call this the Holy Spirit. Psychologist Sigmund Feud called it the Superego. However, I like how Tom Seleck's character on Magnum P.I. described it. He would always say his "Inner Self" told…

God Does Not Fit in Your Box
People put restrictions on God. For example, Israel limited what God could do for them. God is creative. For example, every fingerprint, eyeball, ear, leeopards' spots and even identical twins are different.…

How Much Does God Love You?
God is our ultimate Father; therefore, He loves us like a parent loves His child. My question is why? A hint is how I feel my daughter is special when others think she is just normal. Another measure…

God is The Father
All fatherhood is derived from God. I hope my fathering is a replica of my divine Father. Jesus introduced us to the concept of God as father. The Old Testament did not teach the Jews of this concept.…

What You Say is What You Get
Jesus says what I ask for is what I get if I believe. This implies that I am responsible for what happens in my life based upon the content of my conversations with God.

Comparison of Jesus to Satan
Jesus is like the parent who always is looking out for my best interest. While Satan is the like a friend who dumps me when his self interest conflicts with me. The problem is I am like my teenage daughter--rebellious…

Who is to Blame?
My reflex is to blame God for homelessness, poverty, injustice. But then I remember He started Adam and Eve off in a perfect world.
