Don’t Move Away From God
The Parable of the Lost Son teaches us we have freedom of choice but not freedom from consequences. A young man went to his father and made a demand. Luke 15:12 says And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of good that falls to me. So he divided …
How can we help those who are suffering?
“Why is there so much pain & suffering in the world? I’m afraid God is going to ask me the same question.” ~Brandon Edwards We all have burdens & deal with suffering: Matthew 5:45 says that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and …
Is Homework Important?
How many of us have asked this question? The answer to that question is incalculable! Depending on when we have been asked this question will depend on how we answer the question. When I was younger, I would probably say, “Homework is important, but can we reduce the amount?” The older I have gotten, I …

For decades, Joshua had served as Moses’ assistant. Now, God was directing Joshua to lead the children of Israel. Joshua 1:1-5 says, “After the death of Moses the servant …
Do You Have Room For Jesus?
Even though we have moved into the digital age, I continue to use a “paper planner.” I like being able to write thoughts, ideas, and make plans while turning pages. Each little block on a calendar represents 24 hours. As we write & plan on each block, do we make room for Jesus? We see …
Let’s Choose Growth!
When we grow, we increase! When we increase, we abound! When we abound, we please our Lord!
