I sat in a quiet place, only for a moment, and these are the thoughts that rambled through my mind. A person can be young in years, but grey in wisdom if he/she studies the scriptures. It is not necessary to have earthly wealth to be considered well-off, but you do need Jesus to benefit from the riches of heaven! Happiness is hidden at times underneath layers of life’s happenings. On the other...

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 11:1) Spring is just around the corner.  With temperature rising, it seems like every day there is an increasing number of runners taking to the streets; training for...

Yes, if you by chance read this on your phone out of habit, and you have to fight to do it, “Wake Up!”  You need to get to the house of the Lord this morning. If you by chance missed Sunday School, you can make it to morning service on time. You just need to “Wake Up!” Furthermore, If you have been insensitive in any way to the fact that you have not only been saved from eternal...

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power . It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit , and of both joints and marrow , exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 The Amplified Bible) Reading is fundamental. That familiar phrase has its origin as explained on Wikipedia:...

“Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth…” (Quote by Booke Hampton) I’ve been young and now I’m old. I wish I could continue writing this morning, and be like Forrest Gump and say, “And that’s all I got to say about that.” I even wish I could just borrow from David’s word in Psalm 37 and say, “I have been young and...

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans...

Give Him your loyal devotion; give Him the best that you have.” (First verse of Give of Your Best to the Master, written in 1864 by Charlotte A. Barnard) This is your Monday Short meditation. As...
