Blessing, Not Cursing

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. – Romans 12:14 We have all had people in our lives that have caused us to want to curse them. Everyone from the person who cuts you off in traffic to a relative who gets under your skin every time you are with them.Continue reading “Blessing, Not Cursing”

Perseverance

My family recently took a much needed vacation to the mountains in Georgia. We stayed in a Bavarian town called Helen and we had an awesome time. Our condo was on the Chattahoochee river and all the red buds and dogwoods were in bloom. It was a very peaceful and restful place to be.  OneContinue reading “Perseverance”

Stormy

  “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.” – Proverbs 14:4 Life is messy. Even when we think we have everything in its place and our life seems to be smooth sailing, a tempest is usually brewing waiting to explode. Now as IContinue reading “Stormy”

Learning to Walk

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”Continue reading “Learning to Walk”

A Tale of Two Kings

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done, but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made metal images for theContinue reading “A Tale of Two Kings”

The Road to Bethlehem

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.Continue reading “The Road to Bethlehem”

Blessings & Curses

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also:Continue reading “Blessings & Curses”

Joy

“And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” – Nehemiah 8:10 Recently I have found myself more and more frustrated with people who complain. Now, I am not saying that all of their complaints are invalid and in their heart they don’t have the right motives, but are weContinue reading “Joy”

Doubt

By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, becauseContinue reading “Doubt”

Laboring in Vain

I consider myself pretty handy. I can do most of the repairs required around the home and I even have moments when I can actually build something unique and useful. So when I decided to make it easier for me to garden, I decided to build raised garden beds. Now, I had seen pictures ofContinue reading “Laboring in Vain”
