May my steps be worship. May my thoughts be praise.

Christian Living

  • The Incorruptible Seed

    Having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. For, “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: But the word of the Lord abideth for ever.” And this is Continue reading

  • The Mustard Seed – Part 2

    And the apostles said unto the Lord, “Increase our faith.” And the Lord said, “If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamore tree, ‘Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea;’ and it would obey you” (Luke 17:5-6). The natural world provided Jesus with Continue reading

  • Is It Vain To Serve God?

    “Your words have been stout against me,” saith the LORD. Yet ye say, “What have we spoken against thee?” Ye have said, “It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?” (Malachi 3:13-14). People tend to Continue reading

  • Making Excuses

    We speak of our challenge in giving; giving monetarily, giving of our time, giving from our abilities, giving over our priorities, giving thanks. In theory, we agree that we need to give more, but we make excuses in reality. We can find reasons others need to give more of themselves, but we often find reasons Continue reading

  • We Don’t Lie to Google

    Earlier in November, writer Ben Casnocha wrote this on his blog: Someone once told me that there is nowhere we are more honest than the search box. We don’t lie to Google. Period. We type in what we’re thinking — good, bad, and ugly. There’s probably no piece of information that would better show what’s Continue reading

  • Black Friday

    And he said unto them, “Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). Black Friday has come upon us again – the Friday after Thanksgiving, when many people get up very early and shop. Retailers like Black Friday Continue reading

  • Giving Thanks

    In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are soon approaching the time when our country observes Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was intended to be a time to reflect and give thanks for all the wonderful blessings we share. Unfortunately, in the eyes of many, Continue reading

  • Are We Having Fun Yet?

    There are times in this life when sorrow rolls over us and peace is far away. There are times when our sin is ever before us. The phrase, “Are we having fun yet?” is a sarcastic remark that permeates pop culture. Usually, when we ask this question, we are feeling the exact opposite. “Are we Continue reading

  • Follow Me

    And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. Continue reading

  • “Help My Unbelief”

    In Mark 9, the gospel writer records an encounter Jesus has with a possessed boy. His disciples had been unable to cast the unclean spirit out, and, in verse 20, the spirit reacts violently to being in Jesus’ presence. Jesus replies that all things are possible to one who believes, and the father of this Continue reading
