“Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” (Ephesians 4:24 NLT) If you are like most of us, you spend quite a bit of time wondering what you are going to wear on any given day. Today is no exception and you probably followed the same routine. You put together outfits! You checked your actual or mental journal to see what you wore on...

“I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.” (Joshua 14:11 NASB) This past Sunday I preached a sermon entitled, “I’m Still Strong.” The verse above was part of the text; the words of Caleb at the age of eighty-five, expressing that he still had the same strength that he had...

“He orders the snow, ‘Blanket the earth!’ and the rain, ‘Soak the whole countryside!’ No one can escape the weather—it’s there. And no one can escape from God. Wild animals take shelter, crawling into their dens, when blizzards roar out of the north and freezing rain crusts the land. It’s God’s breath that forms the ice, it’s God’s breath that turns lakes and rivers...

“At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd was waiting for them. A man came and knelt before Jesus and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son. He has seizures and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. So, I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.” Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you? How...

“Those who had seen it told the others what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs. At first, they were in awe—and then they were upset, upset over the drowned pigs. They demanded that Jesus leave and not come back. As Jesus was getting into the boat, the demon-delivered man begged to go along, but he wouldn’t let him. Jesus said, “Go home to your own people. Tell...

“Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.” (Colossians 4:15 NASB) It is Sunday! Praise God! We can enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. We can give thanks to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good! Our places of worship may be set up differently than the way the Psalmist describes...

“Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” (Ephesians 4:24 NLT) Skipping through the TV channels on a work break, I got to the home décor station. A guest designer was talking about the psychology of colors. I did not watch the show, opting to see what was going on in the world of sports. However, that topic, “the psychology of colors”...

“After leaving the synagogue that day, Jesus went to Simon’s home, where he found Simon’s mother-in-law very sick with a high fever. “Please heal her,” everyone begged. Standing at her bedside, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and prepared a meal for them.” (Luke 4:38-39 NLV I know! We say it all the time, “I won’t be long.” Well...

“And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You. But Jesus said, “Someone did...
