  • The Biblical Truth You Want to Know About “My Body My Choice”
    All | Bible Study | Prayer | Seek God First

    The Biblical Truth You Want to Know About “My Body My Choice”

    The cultural message for the past 50 years has been “my body, my choice.” But is that true based on God’s Word? In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul wrote: Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not…

    Why It’s Good to Be Friends with People Who Don’t Believe in Jesus

    How much time do you spend investing in relationships with unbelievers? Historically, there have been some groups of Christians that have chosen to create their own exclusive communities to remain isolated from the “influence of the world”—people who choose not to be friends with people outside of their faith community. In 1 Corinthians 5, the…

    How to Know and Experience the Blessing of Being Honest With God

    Do you have verses in Scripture that make you squirm because they hold a truth you really don’t want to think about? Today’s chapter has a couple of verses that definitely make me uncomfortable… It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide. So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time—before the…

    How God Will Help You Grow in Faith and Live Your Purpose

    Can you imagine? You finally get a letter from your spiritual advisor . . . you’re hoping for a “good job, atta baby, way to go,” word of encouragement. But this is what you get instead: Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people….

    How to Have This Amazing Source of Wisdom With You Every Day

    Do you think you’re wise? Do you want to be? As I was reading today’s chapter and a couple of verses practically jumped off the page: No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not…

    Why It’s Important to Have Wisdom When You Want to Blend In

    I’m not a fan of insects or reptiles but I’ve always found chameleons fascinating. Can you imagine the creative process where God decided it was important to make a creature able to change colors and camouflage itself to go unnoticed by predators? To make them able to simply blend in… Maybe He made them just…

    How the Bible will Help You KNOW, TRUST, OBEY, and PRAY

    And now may God, who gives us his peace, be with you all. Amen. Romans 15:33 Those words sound like the end of the letter to the Romans. They sound like the benediction . . . but Paul often took a few more moments to add personal thoughts to his friends. I was talking with…

    Why Praying is the Most Important Thing You Can Do for People

    I’ve read countless books about prayer in my life. But in recent years, the Lord has shown me that I need to read less about prayer and spend more time in prayer. Here are a few things I’ve learned from actually praying… ♥ Prayer can be comforting—as we bring every need to God’s Throne of…

    An Important Reason Why We Need to Speak Gently and Stop Judging

    I’ve been blogging for more than 12 years, and I don’t remember ever receiving the kind of verbal attacks on my faith like I have in recent months. Technology has put a powerful weapon into the hands of social media and those who use it. Studies show that the vast majority of “chatter” on line…

    Are You Really Supposed to Submit and Pray for Government Leaders?

    This is a tough topic. Most of us don’t want to talk about it because it typically elicits a strong response from one point of view or the other. But here we go… Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there…

    God loves you! He really loves you! Not a “love ya” at the end of a note or an email but deep lasting involved love that cares about every aspect of your life. The Lord’s love for you and me is so much more than warm fuzzy feelings. He loves us completely. God sent His…

    How to Trust God When You Don’t Understand What Happened

    Have you ever heard someone say… “Let me tell you, when I get to Heaven, I’m going to have some serious questions for God! Like why did He do __________ or why didn’t He prevent __________.” And I’ll be honest, I think everyone has moments when they don’t understand God’s sovereign decisions after a devastating…

    The Important Truth You Need to Know About the Law and Gospel

    Have you noticed culture is trying to eliminate the word “sin” from the public forum? There appears to be an effort to remove the idea of an absolute religious or moral law; therefore, making it possible for everyone to determine for themselves what is right or wrong. And many Christians avoid talking about sin for…

    When was the last time you said… “Well, that’s easier said than done?” Okay, maybe you haven’t said the words out loud but I’ll bet you’ve thought them.

    I love the first two verses of Romans 5… Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and…

    The Number One Question We Hate to Ask – Have I Been Selfish?

    This morning, my devotion invited me to ask: Have we been selfish? Have we been more jealous of our own reputation than of the honor of God? God nudged me to personalize it . . . so, I wrote in my journal: Have I been selfish . . . more concerned about my reputation than…
