Daily encouragement for Christians
Are you a lover or a fighter? Do you know that we are all called to be both? We are to love each other as Godâs precious children, always. We are also called to fight the powers of darkness and evil, always. We fail miserably at the âalwaysâ part. A contemporary Christian artist, Jamie […]
From the archive: Do you ever wonder what people would think if they witnessed you and God in conversation? I opened the stats page for my blog. Thatâs the page with the graph that shows me how my post is performing for the day, week, month, or year. It had been my habit to look […]
Have you ever asked someone, âWhatâs that attitude about?â only to have them sharply reply, âI donât have an attitude!â?

We often give other people credit for […]
âWhoever is unsure of himself turn in here!â (Proverbs 9:4) Those are the words of Wisdom. If youâre traveling on the road with me, be prepared to take evasive action as I slam the brakes and crank the wheel, proving how unsure of myself I truly am. It didnât take long for my temper to […]

Do you know anyone who walks through life with a âholier than youâ kind of attitude? Itâs natural to want to feel superior to others and itâs easy to get a big head when God uses you to be a part of bringing in his kingdom. But beware of thinking too highly of yourself. âFor […]
âDo not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of âolam kazeh [this world].â (Romans 12:2) âRecoil from what is evil, and cling to what is good. Love each other devotedly and with brotherly love; set examples for each other in showing respect.â (Romans 12:9) In America, it seems that respect is becoming a […]
Do you live in the United States? If yes, you are probably a spoiled little rich kid and donât even realize it. Did you sleep in a bed last night? Over 150 million people donât even have a home to put a bed in. Do you have the ability to draw water from the tap […]
