I’ve always found a little humor in hearing a doctor or lawyer refer to their firm as a practice. Practice? I don’t want anyone practicing on my case! Practice means to perform a function in order to become better at it. What are you practicing in your life? We all want to become better people […]
What’s Your Problem?
Have you ever had someone ask you that? I have. They are apparently frustrated with us – probably about something we did or wouldn’t do. Now we can’t please everyone, but sometimes the accuser is looking for a worldly answer to a spiritual problem. The world is either terra firma or covered with water. But […]
Mind Over Matter
Einstein was one of the world’s great geniuses. Through mathematics, he was able to figure out pretty well how our solar system works. How would that be possible unless the universe was created in an orderly fashion by a mind a trillion times smarter than Einstein? The universe is pretty predictable – nothing chaotic about […]
Didn’t plan on a pandemic, did we?
Most people don’t like surprises – except to celebrate something. A plain-old unplanned event tests our emotional senses and our ability to reason clearly. We can find ourselves in a new reality. How should we react? Once we get over the initial shock, we need to settle our emotions and maximize our reasoning powers. We […]
We Must Oppose Evil Every Time We See It!
If we all ignore evil with the attitude, “well, what can I do about it? I’m only one person against all this evil.” The culture of the world wants to control us. They don’t like it when we fight back. If we don’t fight back, who will? We need to shine the light of goodness […]
You Are a Talent Show!
We were all born with abilities implanted in us by God, along with the desires to use them for His Glory. We have both physical, mental and spiritual gifts and we are not to hide them. He gave them to us for His pleasure. So we must use them to the fullest. Let the rest […]
Looking For a Designer Lifestyle?
I don’t mean in terms of fashion or taste. I mean, we usually want what we want when we want it – right? So why doesn’t God allow us to live this kind of life? Because what we think is best for us sometimes means we are confusing what’s best for us with what we […]
Are You Happy When Others Succeed?
……or are you jealous? Or angry at God; after all, don’t we deserve equal success? Disappointments are a “tap on the shoulder” for a meeting of the heart and mind with God. It is possible the person who finally succeeded was in a mental state awhile back just like we might be in now. We […]
What Is Your Filter?
We all have different filters through which we see life. Is it what other people think about us? Is it memories of bad things that were done to us by people we trusted? The world will corrupt us if we are following its teachings. Trust in the future comes from the light given us by […]
We Can’t Do It Alone
We need to stick together. Associate with others who are trying to live moral lives. Where can a woman find a good man today? There aren’t many. So many men are still playing video games and riding skate boards like they did 20 years ago. Real men don’t exploit women. We need to lift them […]
