Blessing Those Who Curse You

Blessing Those Who Curse You

"Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you." -Luke 6:28 Have you ever had an enemy? It could be someone you might have gotten into an argument with, someone who wronged you, or it could even be a former friend or estranged relative. However the enemy became an enemy, Jesus taught us that we are to bless our enemies, to pray for those who have hurt us. (Matthew 5:44) This is easier said that done. Often if there has been abuse involved it is difficult to think

Making Agreements

Making Agreements

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." -Ecclesiastes 4:12 People make agreements all the time. We make them with friends, with business partners, or in a marriage. Agreements between people can be very powerful. When we agree to do something together, we can accomplish great things. But did you know there are other types of agreements? Agreements happen in the spiritual realm too, beginning with our minds

Being Steadfast in Your Faith

Being Steadfast in Your Faith

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You." -Isaiah 26:2-4 Have you ever heard the term, "slow and steady wins the race"? Or, have you heard the story of the Rabbit and the Tortoise? I'm sure you've heard of one or both of these. This principle of being consistent and grounded is very important in living out our faith! Our maturity as Christians is often revealed as we walk through life's obstacles. It is our proving ground

Don't Despise Small Beginnings

Don't Despise Small Beginnings

"Who despises the day of small things?" -Zechariah 4:10 Have you ever had an idea for something? Perhaps, if you've had an idea for a business, you've envisioned a beautiful tall skyscraper with shiny blue windows and your company's name on the side. You envision 500 of your smiling employees working away within the spotless facility that is, of course, owned by you and your Board of Directors, who all work together with perfect ease. But, as of right now, you've just recei

God Is Picky

God Is Picky

"At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him." -Exodus 4:24 There is a random verse in Exodus as Moses is on his way to Egypt to free the Israelites from slavery that is quite surprising. Moses and his wife Zipporah are staying at a lodging place. It says in Exodus 4:24 that God met Moses, and was about to kill him for not circumcising his son. "At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a f

The Darkroom of Calling

The Darkroom of Calling

"Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him..." -Genesis 39:20-21 Do you know what a darkroom is? Darkrooms were used as one of the first methods of developing film. Wikipedia says of darkrooms: "From the initial development to the creation of prints, the darkroom process allows complete control over the medium." Often when we begin on our walk with God

Bug Lights

Bug Lights

“For the LORD your God is a consuming fire..." -Deuteronomy 4:24 We were at the worship concert, singing and worshipping God. The Spirit was very alive in the meeting, and I could feel the "fire" of God all around us. I felt consumed with the power and presence of God. Then I had this thought: Life's circumstances and the negative things that happen really don't matter at all as long as we're consumed with the fire of God. If we are really on fire, all the time, everything

Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing

Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing

"Then He asked them, 'But who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.'" -Matthew 16:15-17 How would you feel if you bought tickets to see your favorite artist and you showed up, only to find that someone else, not quite as talented, was going to do the show? I don't know abo

Developing An Attitude of Boldness

Developing An Attitude of Boldness

"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death." -Philippians 1:20 I love how God empowers us in the Bible. It says in Proverbs 28:1 that the godly are as bold as a lion. We're called to live a life of boldness using the gifts and talents God has given us, to glorify Him through our love and by our works. Boldn

The Washing of the Word

The Washing of the Word

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light unto my path." -Psalm 119:105 "I don't know how people do it," said my friend. "I don't know how people do it without the word of God to sustain them. It's my lifeline." My friend had recently taken on a job in a large accounting firm where the work was very grueling. The long hours and work with no breaks was definitely challenging, and I knew she had sacrificed a lot in her personal life for her career. No matter, she knew it was
