Of Pebbles and Pearls
Irritations are inescapable. So why does God allow them? A trip to the beach gives us an illustration of what He plans to do with the abrasive things of life.
Shining or Stumbling?
We are to walk in the light, as Christ is in the light. But what does that look like in everyday life?
Drawing With Joy from the Wells of Salvation
It is easy to go through life missing the joy God wants us to have. How do we find it? Isaiah 12:1-3 points out one source of joy for the saved in Christ.
Why teach the Bible to Children?
Ever wonder if it’s worth it to teach Scripture to children? In addition to the Biblical commands to pass God’s Word along to the next generations, the Bible contains a very practical example of how this can work.
Walk In the Light
Throughout the Bible, a believer’s relationship with God is described in terms of light. So what does it mean to walk in the light?
Follow Christ
The last two posts have looked at how to deny ourselves and take up our cross, but what does it mean to really follow Christ? Is it just self-denial and cross-bearing, or is that just the beginning?
Take up Your Cross
You may have heard sermons on what it means to “take up your cross,” and so have I, but in a recent read-through of John 13, I was struck by the example of Jesus Himself as He prepared to take up His own cross.
No Shadow of Turning
James 1:17 is my go-to verse when times are good, but what about when trials come? Can we still rest in the Father of Lights from whom all good gifts come when we can’t see His hand of goodness?
Swift to Hear
How good of a listener are you? This first installment of a series based in James 1:19 points out the value of listening, first to God, then to those He brings across our paths.
