Pass the Salt Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” (Matthew 5:13) Jesus is saying the same thing to the church today as He was […]

Faith to Move Mountains What type of faith does it take to move the mountains in our lives? Jesus said it’s not the size of a person’s faith, but rather it’s all about whom that faith is in. When Peter saw the fig tree Jesus had cursed earlier withered up and dead, Jesus said, “Have […]

God’s Abundant Life God’s love extends to everyone, but especially to those who love Him. And the love He extends is great and fits every need that we may have, both physically and spiritually. God’s love brings abundance to all who believe. This was King David’s take on life when lived in the presence of […]

Hope Springs Eternal Pulling out a quad pad of paper to do some writing I saw these words written on the top, “Hope Springs Eternal.” Obviously the Lord meant something to be written, but for whatever reason I left them.

It covers just about everything, and if it doesn’t say it outright then it’s implied through other laws. What came to me as I was contemplating the whole thing is […]

Fat and Sassy “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation.” (Deuteronomy 32:15) In this song of Moses, he is speaking to the children of Israel. The name “Jeshurun” is a name of […]

Make Today Count Living our lives in the Lord is all about today. It’s not about yesterday or last year. It’s also not about tomorrow or next year. It is all about today. This was Moses’ advise to the people. “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully […]

Becoming a Hero There’s not a year that goes by where we don’t see some sort of superhero movie. But they’re all fantasy based, and as such not real. Therefore they give us no clue how to be men and women of valor. Jephthah, however, teaches us what it takes to be a mighty man […]
