THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO TELL EVERYONE IN YOUR HOUSE THIS MORNING!

“The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!  Could he possibly be the Messiah?” (John 4:28-29 NLT) I know it’s early on Sunday morning, but I just have to share five things with you based on my personal experience.  I believe they are all worth sharing, but especially the last one,...

AMEN & AN ADDENDUM

“And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And they praised the Lord.  Then the people acted in accordance with this promise.” (Nehemiah 5:13b NASB) Every once and awhile I get a response to a meditation that I feel is worthy of sharing.  Yesterday afternoon I received one of those response to Tuesday’s meditation that was about more “we” time.  The reader wrote these words, “Amen! ...

“MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME”

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV) Late Thursday night, after going to be about 10:10 p.m., I woke up, wide awake I grabbed the TV remote to get enough light to see what time it was according to the...

“FRIDAY! GAME TIME!”

“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?  Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?  (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)  No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who...

PAST, FUTURE…WHAT’S MISSING?

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish with a roar, and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are on it will be burned up.  Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be in holy behavior and in godliness ”(2 Peter 3:10-11 Amplified Bible) What’s...

WHEN “IT” HITS HOME

“I come to you, Lord, for protection; never let me be defeated.  You are a righteous God; save me, I pray!  Hear me!  Save me now!  Be my refuge to protect me; my defense to save me.  You are my refuge and defense; guide me and lead me as you have promised.  Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me; shelter me from danger.  I place myself in your care.  You will save me,...

THE SAME WAY

“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13 NASB) Yesterday, in fact to be more precise, about five hours ago, I was walking through the dining room while my wife was on a conference call.  I tip-toed quietly to the living room and headed on my way back to my bedroom...

DON’T FALL BACK!

“I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.  My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.” (Psalm 34:1-2 KJV) In several states, including my home state, we set our clocks back one hour before we went to bed last night.  The main thing on my mind this morning, well maybe not the main thing, but one sure...

WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR PERSPECTIVE OF TIME

“Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know he’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and...

WHAT’S ON YOUR LIST?

“These are evil times, so make every minute count.” (Ephesians 5:16 Contemporary English Version) I was curious to find out if there were any studies that had analyzed what people do on weekends.  I found something published on the Internet by The Stacker Group that showed how people use their time on the weekend.  Included in the top ten activities were the following, according to...
