What Do You See?
For whoever lacks these qualities (faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love) is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.” (2 Peter 1:9) Too many of us do not see what we need to see (cf. Jer. 5:21). While we might be able …
Godliness is Greater
Devotion in action. Seeking to be like God for God’s sake. With phrases such as this we attempt to convey what we mean when we speak of living a godly life. In a world that is searching for the right way to live and the best way to experience fulfillment, it is godliness that is …
When We Suffer
Psalm 46 is one of those passages that has the power to lift our spirits and to make us feel better immediately. It can change the way we view all of life. Specifically, it can change the way we view our problems and heartache. According to this passage, there are at least three things we …
Who AM I ?
We are familiar with the time that Jesus said to Peter and the other apostles, “Who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). The proper response of course was: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16). But what if we turned things around? What if we were to ask …
For Mature Audiences
I recently saw a one-panel newspaper cartoon. A man was sitting in his recliner in the living room in front of his television.

(Heb. 4:12) Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which …
Reminders
We all need reminders. If not for our digital calendars & alarms, our post-it notes, and our spouses, most of us would be lost and would fail to meet most deadlines. The Lord let Peter know that he had a responsibility to remind his fellow Christians about what was truly important (2 Peter 1:12-15; 3:1-2). …
Fooling Ourselves
Three times in James 1 we are warned about being deceived—specifically we are cautioned against deceiving ourselves. While the Lord does not desire for us to live in fear (cf. 1 John 5:13; 2 Cor. 5:1; Heb. 10:22- 23; et. al.), it is dangerous and foolish to act as if we have no sin (1 …
The Christian (as seen in Philemon)
The letter to Philemon is much more than a personal letter from Paul to his friend about the runaway named Onesimus. It is a message from God to each one of us. It is a message about what God expects to see in the lives of those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ. …
