Let God’s Word Work In You!

I’ll be honest with you; sometimes I sit at my computer, praying, reading scripture, and staring at a blank page.
I think to myself, “What is wrong today? I can’t think of anything to say. I can’t write a Morning Thought if I don’t have any thoughts.” Continue reading →

This one is for Katie!

Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right. Prov 20:11
I want to take time to honor my friend.
Van Walker was one of my very best friends through high school. He was not an acquaintance – we hung together, ate lunch together, sat together; we were together on weekends, whether at the beach or camping on the Trinity River. Continue reading →

Put On Christ

And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing… 1 Tim 2:9
Kylie Bisutti, a Victoria’s Secret lingerie model, recently quit that job because it conflicted with her Christian beliefs, and to save her body for her husband.
She will still model, but only in ways that honor the Lord. Continue reading →

Quit stealing…

Listen to this, you who rob the poor and trample down the needy! Amos 8:4
Last time the subject was on being a thief.
After meditating on God’s word a bit more I realized it is more than stealing someone’s blessing by denying their giving; it is also about stealing their encouragement, happiness, hope, and joy. Continue reading →

I’m no longer a thief!

Pick up any newspaper, go online and read any wire service, or turn on a televisions news channel and you will soon see and hear a story about robbery.
Whether it’s high officials in the government or a young man at a convenience store, the motive is the same, to take what doesn’t belong to you, by force if necessary. Continue reading →

It Can Change!

In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. 1 Tim 2:8-10 Continue reading →

Read the Word

A woman managed to force a violent intruder out of her home by reading Bible verses to him – even though he had already cut her throat.
Lindsay Wood, a devout Christian, fought her attacker with faith rather than force, and eventually he left her house after apologizing repeatedly. Continue reading →

Intimacy – Part 5 (become a protector not an exploiter)

I know the subject is of the past 4 days is not popular. It is the opposite message that you get from most media, including TV and movies.
But most media, TV, and movies don’t speak for God; the Bible does!
Earlier in the week I received this private message and thought I would share it with the writer’s permission. Continue reading →

Intimacy – Part 4 (willful sin)

Is physical intimacy outside of marriage a sin?
I believe it is; it’s called fornication.
When at least one is married it becomes adultery and it is still sin.
Telling a lie, blasphemy, lust, drunkenness, and many other common every day acts are also sin.
So can someone, which calls themselves a Christian, willfully sin over and over and receive forgiveness? Continue reading →
