The Lord is My Shepherd

The Lord is My Shepherd

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.  He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.  Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my…

Wisdom

Wisdom

Proverbs 3 If there is any chapter of the Bible that needs to be read more than others it is Proverbs 3.  Wow, what a great Proverb that is chock full of wisdom, insight, knowledge, and teaching. I could write/speak for hours on this chapter in Proverbs alone, but today I will talk about one subject and that is wisdom. Proverbs 3:13-20 (NIV) 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, 14 for she is more…

Judging

Judging

John 7:24 “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” Jesus was teaching in the temple at Jerusalem and the Jewish leaders were judging him because he had healed this dude on the Sabbath, and they didn’t think Jesus should be doing that. Of course, they missed the whole point of why Jesus healed the guy and the relationship Jesus had with his father, God. They were judging him on mere appearances and not on the truth of what…

Acts 30

Acts 30

The book of Acts actually ends with chapter 28, but the acts of the Apostles and the church doesn’t end there. There has been some incredible history in the church from the time of Paul in Acts 28 up to the present day. I call that Acts chapter 29. Just think of how the Good News about the resurrection of Jesus has spread through out Europe, Asia, Africa, and the rest of the world the past 2000 years! Think of…

What Breaks My Heart

What Breaks My Heart

As I’ve gotten older I have become more observant in what is going on around me and quite honestly there are a few things that break my heart. These aren’t in any particular order of importance but just what comes to mind.  And these are my observations, my brokenness, my hurts, and my concerns. Men It breaks my heart to see how many men have given up on life, relationships, parenting, dreams, etc. The key is that they have given…

Dreams, Plans, Decisions and Goals

Dreams, Plans, Decisions and Goals

  My reading today has me in Proverbs 16 which I have given the title as “Righteous Life”.  One of the many teachings in this Proverb is on making plans, life decisions and how as a believer in God we should make life plans and decisions. There are 3 key verses in this chapter that give us direction on just how to make these plans and decisions.  They are: verse 3, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your…

To God Be the Glory

To God Be the Glory

A very simple statement but one that is packed with lots of meaning, feelings, and emotions.  It was my mantra when I was going through cancer six years ago and it has come to be a theme phrase in my life. To break this down a bit the first thing we see is To God, this is where faith comes in, you must believe in God.  I’m not going to get into all the different theologies about believing in God,…
