If you are a parent, worker, or anyone who deals with authority, I am confident that you have heard at one time or another the following: “It’s not MY job!” People are quick to let others know that they are not responsible for any work that is not clearly defined in their job description. Granted, [...]
Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matt. 5:9). But not everybody in this world is a peacemaker. Some people are troublemakers. They enjoy making trouble, and sometimes we have to live or work with them. That’s the kind of situation the psalmist found himself in when he wrote Psalm 120. “In my distress I cried [...]
“Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:12
I don’t know about you, but it is hard for me to appreciate our need to go through trials. I look at this verse and it is not [...]
I got a lot of feedback on the iron joke yesterday. Let me take it another direction. When something hurts you, you tend to want to avoid it. No one likes getting hurt. No one likes the feelings and pain that it brings. Yet, there are people who entertain themselves with pain. Sick as it [...]

I could just ask someone if they are a Christian, but 7/10 Americans would [...]
It is tempting to want the condition of the outside to hide what the inside really looks like. When I was a child, I could clean my room up real quick by pushing all the toys and clothes under the bed. Tada- the outside looks clean, therefore I thought the room was clean. Hope Mom [...]
If we live in America, we are most likely richer than 90% of the world. If we have food, shelter, and clothing, we are better off than most. If we have been set free by the truths of Jesus Christ and his coming kingdom, then we are in very good shape.
All things considered, we have [...]
Maybe some of you can relate. When I was a kid, especially when it came to my other siblings, I wanted things to be fair. I thought what was spent on me should be the exact same amount spent on each other person, and not a penny more. I had better get just as good [...]
As 21st century Americans we have a lot of things around us to be happy about. We have freedom, good health, good food, and every sort of entertainment you could imagine. Yet sometimes, we find ourselves attached to these forms of enjoyment. We become addicted. Addiction turns to fanatic. Fanatic turns to idolizing. And yet, [...]
