Choosing Between Good Things

I have things to plan and work for regarding the future, and to do so I must figure out what things to give up in the present, if only temporarily. I don't want to give things up. I feel like I shouldn't give up some of them. But I do need to at least consider doing...

Summarized Bible References to Get You Curious

Robust 80-year-old man claims mountain inheritance promised to him 40 years before. (Joshua 14:6-15) Two men get too big for their respective britches. One flees from the other in battle, the other dies after a very strong woman tosses a millstone on his head. (Judges...

God’s Love Through a Mother

I've mentioned before that we talk a lot about how God's love can be seen through a good father, but we don't talk as often about how God's love can be seen through a good mother as well (God's Love and Mothers). I'm going to do it again. Good mothers love us when...

More Phone Notes

I've shared notes I've made on my phone before, and I have a few more to share. You can waste time in God's house if you come with the wrong attitude and do not invest and listen. Christians are called to a cross country run, not a sprint. Do your Holy Spirit filled...
