Fostering

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27 (NIV) I remember Chris, a divorced single mom who’d recently lost her IT job and was struggling to live for Jesus and make a living for her and her daughter. After helping her move to yet another apartment, we struck up a conversation and the topic of foster parenting came up. Had she ever considered becoming a foster parent? She responded with a resounding, “No way! I’m […]

Hockey in Summer

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:9 (NKJV) Well, there was no such thing as summer hockey before artificial ice. Now, in the month of June, the Stanley Cup is being contended for well into the best part of our summer. That’s the NHL, but some people might have wondered about me when they recently saw me walking across a parking lot with a hockey stick on a hot summer day! Yes, I was a hockey enthusiast when I was young but, as […]

How God Watches Over Us

“The Lord watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:5-8 (NIV) Years ago, during my backslidden state, I hung around with people who drank. One of those times I went to a party with some friends and my sister. Shortly after we arrived at the party shack, I felt uneasy and told my friend […]

I Surrender . . . Some

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5,6 (NIV) I recently saw a cartoon drawing of Jesus kneeling down in front of a small girl who is holding a little teddy bear. His hand is outstretched as if asking for her bear. She’s sad and is saying, “But I love it, God.” Little does she know that behind His back He is holding a larger, more beautiful teddy bear and He is saying, “Just trust me.” How […]

Giving Ourselves to God

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 (NKJV) Now and then, when you’re studying God’s Word, you run across “nuggets” that you just never saw before! I found one recently that I figured I’d share with you. 2 Chronicles 17:16 tells about King Jehoshaphat’s army and the generals that he had. In the middle of the list, we find Amasiah. “Next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with […]

What Does Scripture Say About False Witnesses?

“Among the seven things the Lord hates and calls abominations is . . . a false witness who speaks lies.” Proverbs 6:19 (NKJV) Most people agree that there are few things more despicable than a false witness — one who lies and says that a person is guilty when he knows he is not. Pete had hired Ray, a friend, at his store selling business machines, furniture, and other items. “We’re finding it hard to keep laptops in stock,” Pete says to Ray one day. “Folks must be shoplifting ours, because the sales aren’t showing in our records.” “Just the […]

Seeing Jesus

“Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation.” Luke 2:29-30 (NASB) These were the words of a man who wanted to see Jesus. It was Simeon, a man to whom the Holy Spirit had revealed that he would not die until he had seen Jesus. One day the Spirit led Simeon to the temple, and it was there that he knew that he was looking at the Savior of the world! Jesus was just a baby at the time. There were certain requirements by Jewish law […]

Stumbling Blocks

“Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12 (NKJV) I often thought that I would never fall away. The Lord had strengthened me many times, and I was at peace. I loved to preach and witness to people. God had used me to lead many others to Christ. One day the missionary went on a four-month furlough and left me in charge. We had church planning meetings, and a decision was made to turn the direction of the seats. (We had been seated so that when someone came in late, we could all see […]

Phases of Life

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) I got a letter in the mail after my 64th birthday saying I was eligible to apply for my Seniors Pension. It reminded me that there was a big change coming when I turned 65! We had a good chuckle when I told my friends that I was becoming an Elder! It got me thinking about the phases of life. I thought about my grandchildren, and how my youngest granddaughter was going from Grade 1 to Grade 2. And then my […]
