NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17 The Amplified Bible) There has probably not been a week that has gone by that I have not heard someone say, “No weapon formed...

HOW DIFFERENT WE HEAR AS WE GET OLDER

“Later, in one of his talks, Jesus said to the people, “I am the Light of the world. So, if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” (John 8:12 The Living Bible) This is your Monday Short meditation. See if you are in agreement with me. At least a couple days of the week, for the last two months, I find myself singing or asking...

SHOW ME!

“For the first time in over two decades, men attend church more frequently than women, according to Barna’s State of the Church 2025 report. The shift began in 2022 and continues into 2024, with 30% of men attending weekly compared to 27% of women. This reverses a trend that had women leading attendance rates since 2000.” (Quote from FaithonView Publication) The report above reveals that...

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!

The question was asked innocently and openly by an individual whose thoughts had been infected by the incessant noise of the world or an invalid conclusion developed by the independent rationale in his mind/ Here’s the question: “How can I be guilty of sin if I am alone all day?” My response, “Let me count the ways.” Oh, do you want to know some of what I listed? Let me give a list,...

ME TOO!

“One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” (John 9:25b NIV) Many or most believers who were blind, can say, “But now they see.” Jesus made the difference for them, and for me too! Believers can also reveal that they were not always like they are now. Not only are they better, but that they are still striving for perfection, and achieving excellent Christian lives as they strive....

ALL ABOUT YOU

“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.” And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” Then...

ME TIME

“The apostles gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught.  And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)  They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.  The people saw them going, and many recognized...

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

“Make me know Your ways, Lord; teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day.” (Psalm 25:4-5 NASB) It’s Monday.  Where do we go from here?  This is a good question for many of us, right?  Where do we go from here spiritually?  Where do we go from here as it relates to setting examples for others who will...

PUT ME IN!

“The I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’  Then I said, 'Here am I.  Send me!'” (Isaiah 6:8 NASB) Once again it is Monday morning, and as par for the course, I am challenged to uphold my word to be brief on this day of the week.  We even have a name for meditations published the day after the Lord’s Day, “The Monday Short.”  I’ll...

DON’T PASS HIM BY!

“For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself.  He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.  This includes you who were once far away from God.  You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.  Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through...
