The Captivity Of Discontent

“I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret [of being content]—whether well-fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.” Philippians 4:11–12 (HCSB) *** *** ***   The Apostle Paul, who was blessed with great privileges – but also beaten and stripped of everything he had – taught that true contentment must be learned: “I know what it is to be in need, …

march sadness … an empty possession

“March Madness” is always a fun time of the year for me. Although I played high school and college basketball … and coached for 25 years … I was not as good as I’d like people to think I was. Anyway, while watching a game on TV today I heard a commentator say these words … “sadly another empty possession has cost them a victory“. From an eternal prospective that is exactly what Easter Sunday is all about. Jesus came in love, lived a sinless life, died in my place, and was raised from the grave so that I might …

Leaving To Go Home

Jesus Prays For You

“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their message.” John 17:20 (HCSB)   *** *** ***   During the Last Supper, Jesus prayed for himself, and then he prayed for the disciples.   And then, with the hour of his death approaching, he took the time to pray for you.

Missing Evidence

Measuring God’s place in your life is more than just words … it comes down to action … action such as: How often you gather with other believers to worship. How much time you spend in His Word. How often you pray because of gratitude. How often you pray for the salvation of others. How often you pray asking Him for healing. How often you pray asking Him for direction. How often you pray asking for spiritual wisdom. How you treat others … even your enemies. How you give Him the glory for His faithfulness. How willing and obedient you …

A Toddler’s First Steps

And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:29–31 (HCSB) *** *** *** *** The disciples are over a mile from shore as a violent storm moves across the Sea of Galilee. All eyes are on a ghostly figure walking toward their boat. And then Jesus, walking …

Jesus Or The Boat?

“But the boat was already over a mile from land, battered by the waves, because the wind was against them.” Matthew 14:24 (HCSB) *** *** *** *** Jesus needed time to refresh and so he sent his disciples on ahead, across the Sea of Galilee in one of their fishing boats. But storms sweep across this inland sea like tornados that emerge from nowhere. And now the disciples were in a fight with the Goliath-like forces of nature. Some of the disciples were fishermen. They understood the danger, and so they fought the storm long and hard, but made little …

Just Getting Along?

“Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.” 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NLT) *** *** *** *** The Bible doesn’t tell us to just get along with other believers.
