Philippians 1:3 (NKJV) “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” Young children have to be taught everything and one thing they are taught very early is to say thank you. If someone gives them something, Mom says “say thank you” and the little one says “Tank Ooo”. As we age, irrespective of our […]
John 3:16 (NIV®) “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” If I have my preference, most of the time I prefer to be in the background observing rather than out in front of it all. In

John 4:35 (NKJV) “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” I’ve been traveling a bit lately and I passed through an area of our country that is
Matthew 5:45b (NKJV) “…He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Parts of our nation have had devastating winds and floods this past week. Hurricane Helene has been indiscriminate in her attack. As the hurricane approached our shores, I thought of
Luke 11:34 (NKJV) “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.” I’ve heard it said that “perception is everything”. I used to think that was true but that
John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. People say “Well, to tell you the truth…” and when they say that, not only do we expect honesty, we also half expect to hear something different than what we
Revelation 4:11 (NKJV) “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” Do you know the circumstances of your birth? You may have been told that you were an “accident”. You may have learned that you were a
John 14:6(NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” I have been thinking about this verse a good bit lately. Jesus says He is the way. What exactly does that mean? I think it’s easier to understand that He is
Matthew 7:23 (NKJV) “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Electricity is an amazing thing. I don’t understand it. Electrons, protons, neutrons, positive charge, negative charge, even the simplest explanations can leave my head spinning. I don’t understand how a car engine works either,
Hebrews 5:8 (NKJV) though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Experience is sometimes the best teacher, isn’t it? We make decisions on how we want to handle situations but the testing of that decision doesn’t really come until we have to live it out. I think that
