John 9:2-3 (NKJV) “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.” Why do good people get sick or become handicapped? For that matter, why does that happen to anyone? Does […]
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” I have never really been big on new year resolutions. I usually have to go with the motivation I have on board whenever change is needed versus having to
Luke 1:34-35 (NKJV) “Then Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I do not know a man?’ And the angel answered and said to her, ‘the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will
Matthew 7:12 (NIV®) “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” We all have a tendency to live in our own world. That is sometimes more pronounced during the holiday season. Today is a reminder (yes, to me as well)
Luke 2:11 (NKJV) “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Christmas is upon us. Just a few more weeks and families will gather together. There will be laughter, love, and lots of food. For some, there will be children running around the
2 Thessalonians 2:13a (NKJV) “But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord,” We’re a little conflicted on the presence of love sometimes aren’t we? The simplest of interactions gone wrong is seen more as hatred than love. Love should always be reflected by nice words, actions
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” When Paul wrote this, he was talking about the process of salvation. How will anyone ever believe in Jesus if they are not told? Someone has to share the good news of the word of God and then, upon
Psalm 107:8 (NIV®) “Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,” Thanksgiving and the holiday season can be the best and worst time of the year. Families gather and that can be good for some and not so good for others. Busy days filled with preparations
James 1:25a (NKJV) “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty…” Have you noticed how everyone is concerned about freedom these days? I‘m free to do this. I’m free to do that. I can say what I want. Don’t suppress my voice. I can do what I want. Stop telling me what to

Psalms 34:1 (NKJV) “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Today I write a reminder to bless the Lord. On more than one occasion this week, I have needed to be reminded. The little word “all” in this scripture sounds impossible but I’ve learned that the
