“But Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight him; for you are only a youth, while he has been a warrior since his youth.”  But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep.  When a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock, I went out after it and attacked it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth; and when it rose up...

“And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain eternal life?”  And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good?  There is only One who is good; but if you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”  Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You...

“WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE”

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NASB) Youth workers at churches are special people.  They sacrifice their time to teach youth the Scriptures, but also to train them to be successful at their present age and as they advance into the future.  Thank God for these devoted workers, Christian mentors in the full sense of the term.  They...

GREAT! THAT SHOWS IT’S WORKING!

“Are you listening to me?  Really listening?” (Matthew 11:15 MSG) As it relates to Bible-based edification, the preacher, teacher, or writer’s text is relatively short.  Sometimes it is very short.  Case in point, “Jesus wept.”  Only two words, read in less than three seconds.  However, the preacher’s sermon, the teacher’s lesson, or the writer’s communication of the same...

“Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David!  ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’  Hosanna in the highest!” (Matthew 21:9 NKJV) Do you remember when you were determined to enhance your vocabulary by learning a new word every day?  How long did that last?  Or do you recall how someone used a word...

“When your words turned up, I feasted on them; and they became my joy, the delight of my heart, because I belong to you, Lord God of heavenly forces.” (Jeremiah 15:16 Common English Bible) Living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for three months in the early 1980’s, when the weekend came, one of our favorite restaurants that we would go to was run by Amish owners.  After you were seated at a...

THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT YOU HEARD YESTERDAY

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15 KJV) He that hath ears, let him/her hear, but go beyond hearing and move all the way to doing, as soon as possible. You see, regardless of how dynamic the speaker might have been, in spite of the new generation, media technology used in the preacher’s presentation, and even if the notes you took amounted to pages, the fact is that...

BLACK & WHITE

It’s Saturday morning!  Let’s see how I do with my plan to keep the meditation short the day before Sunday; the day we assemble to worship.  I will do my best, but that is just my goal in terms of content, but as I write I must be led by God’s intent.  His intent dictates the length of the content.  After all, He is God. I have a black & white piece of décor that...

“The high priest Hilkiah reported to Shaphan the royal secretary, “I’ve just found the Book of God’s Revelation, instructing us in God’s ways. I found it in The Temple!” He gave it to Shaphan and Shaphan read it. Then Shaphan the royal secretary came back to the king and gave him an account of what had gone on: “Your servants have bagged up the money that has been collected for...

“But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice—you will be blessed by God in what you do.” (James 1:25 Good News Translation) Based on my own personal experience, as opposed to any formal training in fashion design, I feel In can offer good some advice.  I can, in...
