“‘Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, ‘Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?’ ‘Why do you ask me about what is good?’ Jesus replied. ‘There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.’ ‘Which ones?’ he inquired. Jesus replied, ”You…
How Full is the Glass?
In my opinion, the “Is the glass half full or half empty” thing is really dumb. Being super “negative” all the time isn’t good for you and the people around you, but neither is being super “positive.” There is a large difference between a negative person and a realist. Life isn’t always lollipops and unicorns….
Decisions
We as humans tend to have a craving for freedom. We thrive for independence yet let others rule over us. Freedom is a tricky thing to talk about with people, and expensive for us to get. We all know how Satan tricked Eve in the Garden of Eden. She made her own choice. God could’ve…
Blessings
I’m sure you’ve been told to count your blessings. I have. Now, the question is, do you? I didn’t do it every time, but sometimes I would. The thing is, when you start that list, you might not realize how much you have. It’s sometimes hard to be thankful for everything, but the Bible tells…
The Sabbath
That word up there means different things to different people. In Christianity, it’s the Holy day, when in the Old Testament, God’s people were to honor him and the rest he took on the seventh day of creation. The Sabbath was a day to worship the Lord and make him the focus. Opinions about this…
The Feeling of Rest
As people living in this world, we are told to be busy. From adults that let their jobs run their lives to children partaking in multiple sports, plays, clubs, recitals and all sorts of other activities. This kind of behavior from both groups can cause quite a few problems, one main issue being the destruction…
Time
Let’s talk about time. Some people are naturally good at time management, others not so much. But everyone can learn how to do it. It’s not as hard as it looks, but if you’re not really trying, and you don’t ask God for help, it may be challenging. Time is very important to us for…
Guidance
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lay down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” -Psalm 23:1-3 Shepherds protect their sheep. They watch over them; guide them. Our Lord Jesus does those things…
Share the Love
Love is something everyone wants. It’s nice to feel loved by our family and friends. Some people don’t have this love. Others may have what they think is love, but it may not be. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not…
Surrender
In most circumstances, surrender isn’t the first thing you would want to do. It can be taken as a sign of weakness. That you’re giving up. Forfeiting. But the Lord thrives in our weakness. It’s a chance for Him to show how much He cares for us and that He’s always right there. Feeling weak…
