THE LOST IN THE HOUSE

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke...

“’If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—'If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive. When their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us. The stream would have [gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have one over our soul....

THE COUPLE LOOKING IN THE WRONG SECTION!

At a local bookstore, I went to see if I could find some books to add to my library, specifically books that would give insight to the Psalms. I didn’t want to be spoiled by the availability of expository accounts found online, but preferred to peruse the published, printed word of scholarly theologians who had diligently pursued the word of God, searching, seeking the pure truth it contained...

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV) The preacher who will replace me on October 5 as Pastor of Salt...

BEING IN THE ROOM DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REALLY IN THE ROOM

“Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,” (Proverbs 1:5 English Standard Version) Have you ever been in a virtual meeting and individuals in the virtual room just show their name or have the same picture appear every time there is a meeting?  And on top of that, they never say a word. Now, to fair, before I say what I want to say, I...

REPETITION

“The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition.” (John Wooden) If you ever played organized sports at any level, when you went to practice you followed the same warm-up routine. If you were on the brain-game team, competing with students from other schools, you studied a variety of subjects to gather facts, to...

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me.Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4 New Living Translation) While David's words found in a Psalm 23 are surely familiar to you, and they are fitting for this meditation, I need to tell you that my inspiration for today’s meditation came from words spoken by Dr. Troy E....

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8 NIV) My granddaughter called me Tuesday night and informed me that she got the job for which she was praying. She got a job at a location just 15 minutes from her...

GET IN THE GAME!

This is your Monday Short meditation, inspired by Pastor M.R. King in Sunday School yesterday. In basketball, only five players can be on the floor for your team at one time. In baseball, you can field nine players at a time. In football, the defense is allowed to have 11 players on the field at the same time. The same is true for the offense in football. In volleyball you are allowed six...
