What is ‘good’? Do you have a definition or is it ‘intuitive’? How does ‘good’ feel? Does it inspire you? Is it only a feeling? Do you search for good? Or better? Or best? Do you try to be good? Scripture tells us that there is no one who is good, except the Father. “There is none […]
Are you searching for your foundation? Are you seeking a standard that is your basis for what you do and say? Something to build on that the storms of life won’t erode away? I have a suggestion. Consider Jesus. He won’t leave you at the first hint of challenge, obstacle, or attack. And, as you

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health[physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].” (3 John 2) Gives one pause… for me it’s the ‘just as’ phrase. This seems to imply a relationship. Success, Prosperity, Health – JUST AS. Just as your soul prospers. This seems, to me, that we need to attend

What this SHOULD teach us is that we should wait to point fingers or assess blame, because sometimes we aren’t right or are basing our decisions/thinking on what others are telling us or what they

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in
There are many references related to fruit, being fruitful, etc. Being fruitful… your goal? Do you know how? Actually, there are over 100 verses that talk about being fruitful. But how is this defined? And what is required of us? “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself
The ‘relativism’ bug seems to have invaded and affected every segment of our society. The primary problem with this approach is that there is no standard, no set of principles to guide. ‘It depends’ is the mantra and justification. However, as a Christian – you do have standards and principles. The Church stands on the
