It's My Turn

Laws and rules should protect in spirit and in practice.  God’s law is no different and is to be paramount in our daily life, lest we are destroyed by our own inattention.

The life of the believer is to be enjoyed. Laughter and valuing family is just a couple of the ways for us to help ourselves enjoy living our lives.

One must be convinced that we can have victory over life difficulties when we refuse to allow them to defeat us.

Fear will stop us from venturing out unless our focus remains on the mission at hand. Remember, we don’t have to return but we must go when and where Christ calls.

There comes a point in the life of each person when they will decide to follow Christ or not. How will you choose if yours comes today?

Christ occasionally got away from His followers to be alone with The Father to rest and refresh. In His pattern we can find our physical and mental health.

This world is a sinful place. Self-absorbed people are everywhere and in desperate need of The Light of the World. In other words, the very thing we are called to be.

Anticipating life’s problems can be helpful in developing a game-plan but there is a fine line between preparation and fruitless angst.

Interesting thoughts about the life of Thomas Jefferson. Pride must be handled with proper control.

There is a law of seed, time of harvest. The golden rule tells us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. If your harvest is bad, it’s probably because you have sown bad seed.

Giving is a fundamental principle in the scriptures. Giving of one’s money, one’s time, one’s abilities – giving of one’s self, you could say. Always remember that little kindnesses don’t cost us much and they go a long way.

He who is lowly, meek and poor is the richest man on earth because he who clings to Christ as the center of his life, lives from gratitude for what he has.

Getting ourselves out of the way – losing one’s self – is necessary in order to truly find ones’ purpose.

The historical relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton serves as a good reminder of Christ’s command to us in Luke.

A periodic self-check is a good thing to do. The “usual” isn’t to be taken for granted.

Lost items can be difficult to locate. Usually, those items are found in front of our face but we miss them as we’re searching for them so feverishly.

How many stories like Johnny’s are repeated throughout our society? Is it any wonder that society has continually moved away from the things of God?

The facts we choose to omit from any given situation may cause the people who are dependent on the information we give. Withholding our help when it’s within our power to be helpful causes the flaws in our character to become starkly visible.

Unfortunately, our deeds very often fail to reflect our words. We must live-out the words we so readily hold others to and do so with integrity. Otherwise, our own words condemn us.

If we don’t spend time in God’s Word God’s ways will be foreign to us, making us no better than fools.
