I have tried to live in such a way that I heard the nudge from God telling me what to do next. I’m noticing today that Paul’s words to Timothy can help me figure that out in the future.

I think I’m experiencing contentment, and then some struggle falls into my lap or lands on my shoulders. But I can’t deny the good that comes with godliness with contentment.

People-watching can be fun, sometimes even educational. But the bigger question is what people see when they’re watching us!

The apostle Paul used many images to describe the purpose and function of the church. Each one of them can help believers understand how to be the church today.

With each new generation there seems to be a higher expectation that any and everything should be instant. But as I read Proverbs, I’m thinking about time in the development of wisdom.

King David and his son King Solomon both had thoughts about sleep. But maybe the advice of Jesus is the best for us as we tackle our sleep problems.

I may not be worried about what I’ll eat or whether I have the right clothes to wear. That doesn’t mean I’m not anxious about many things.

Many folks I know are thinking a lot about inheritance. But Jesus told one inquirer to focus on something more important.

It’s a word that goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when things were as they were intended, and I suspect will still be with us when all things are back the way God intended.

Jesus sent them out two by two. And he’s still sending today. Each of us must decide what’s keeping us from a partnership with the Lord of the harvest.
