For thousands of years, there have been those who “worry about tomorrow” (Matt. 6:34). This is not anything new. Even when Jesus tells us, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things,” we still…well…we still worry. Here are some things to keep in mind. No matter what happens tomorrow: God still loves you (John 3:16). Jesus still loves you (John 15:13). God…

Do you ever look up at the sky and wonder, “Will today be the day that Jesus comes back?” Do you ever look up at the sky and pray that today will be the day that Jesus comes back? One day it will be “that day.” Oh, what will that be like? His return will be sudden and unexpected. People did not know the flood was…

Think of the things in your life that tend to “run out.” The gas in your car is always running out. The supplies in your house of food, paper goods and cleaning products are always running out. What about your energy level? Running out? What about your patience level? Running out? The reality is that even your days on this earth are running out. David described our days as…

One of the best scenes in “The Princess Bride” is when Inigo Montoya has heard Vizzini repeatedly use (or rather, misuse) the word, “Inconceivable,” and he tells him, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” I think of that scene often when scrolling social media and seeing the praying hands emoji used repeatedly and…

The wisdom of the book of Proverbs is so practical and it just makes sense. One such nugget of truth states, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly” (Prov. 18:24). How true is that? Someone who is not “friendly” does not have many “friends”! Sometimes folks in the church will be upset because they don’t have many friends in the church. Can I ask…

Can you imagine anyone accusing God of lying, let alone “making God a liar”? That’s exactly what the apostle John claimed we can do.  “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:10). The reason that making a claim that “we have not sinned” makes God “a liar” is because…

How much do you give to the Lord? I know! That’s a personal question! And it’s absolutely none of my business! Who would you say was the biggest giver in the Bible? Several suggestions could be made in answer to that question. One finalist on that list of the biggest givers would certainly be the brethren in Macedonia. Paul describes “the riches of their liberality,” in that they…

When you play a game, sometimes it can lead to a win and sometimes it can lead to a loss. There are two different possible outcomes. But, in the Bible, there is a choice that we can make that the Bible says “leads only” to one place, and it gives us a clear warning. Look at Psalm 37. It talks about God’s…
