Thought For Today: “God’s Grace Liberates” Too often we think God’s grace is too good to be true, so we believe we have to help God out. This was the problem with the Galatian church. “Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of … Read more

Thought For Today: “Numbering Our Days” “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12) Why wait for someone or something else to number our days? Instead let’s live our lives according to God’s ways and no longer our own. This involves a choice where we take … Read more

Thought For Today: “God’s Amazing Grace” By God’s grace we are here. God didn’t have to wake us up this morning or give to us another breath of life. But He did; therefore, we’re under His grace. When we realize it is by God’s grace and God’s grace alone that we have been saved, then … Read more

Thought for Today: “Getting Aligned with God” God tells us how to get spiritually aligned with Him and avoid veering off course. Those spiritually aligned with God and those with whom God aligns Himself with, have a contrite and humble spirit. “For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is … Read more

Thought for Today: “Interruptions as Divine Opportunities” God tests our love for Him, as we are commanded in the Great Commission, through loving others. And what we need to realize is that this can happen at any time. In school we would call these “Pop Quizzes.” So, we must be willing to risk some inconvenience. … Read more

Thought For Today: “Let God Guide” There is just something within us that says, “If it’s meant to be it’s up to me.” But when it comes to fulfilling God’s calling, this is wrongheaded thinking. Instead, it should be, “Where God guides, God provides.” Of the Lord, it says, “His divine power has given to … Read more

Thought for Today: “Power in the Blood” While the world possesses great weapons of mass destruction, their power to destroy doesn’t match God’s power to save, and that power is in the blood Jesus shed on the cross so that all who believe will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Nothing can redeem … Read more

Thought For Today: “Living Abundantly” Are we living the abundant life? Unfortunately, most people are living and doing just enough to get by. They’re doing just enough in their marriages, relationships, or at their work to get by and not get divorced, dumped, or fired. In other words, people are living a substandard life, which … Read more

Thought for Today: “A Hardened Heart” In Jesus’s Parable of the Soils, the first condition of the heart He addressed is a heart that is hard, that is, it is a heart that is hardened to God’s word due to a lack of preparedness to receive it. “The seeds that fell on the footpath represent … Read more

Thought For Today: “An Ever-Evolving Process” So many of us want to know what God’s purpose for our lives is, and so we search high and low for that one all-encompassing vision, only to end up empty every time. And that’s because we’ve failed to understand that as we grow in our relationship with God, … Read more

Thought For Today: “Remaining Faithful” We live in a society and culture where faithfulness is more of a comedian’s punch line than it is a description of our generation. We live in a society and culture where promises are made but never kept, and where nations and politicians use words that contain escape clauses. It … Read more

Thought for Today: “God is Bigger than Twitter” It’s amazing the drama that is found in social media when it comes to God. Opinions are tossed back and forth in 140 characters or less. REALLY! How can anyone adequately explain God in as little as one sentence, or even several? And yet we try. I’ve … Read more

Thought For Today: “An Upward & Outward Call” God is calling all of us out with and upward and outward calling. We see this upward and outward call on the Apostle Paul’s life. He said in Philippians 3:14, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” … Read more

Thought for Today: “Efficient or Effective?” Efficiency is doing things right: Effectiveness is doing the right things. What we have to do is re-evaluate life, or could I say “re-value” life. What we may have thought as being valuable today may not be as important or as valuable as we thought, in fact, it might … Read more

Today’s Thought: “A Legacy of Service” Today I’d like to look at living our lives according to God’s purposes, and I’d like to do so by starting out with a statement made about King David that has been one of my life verses. It is the one verse that I would like to have written … Read more

Thought For Today: “Watch and Be Ready” Jesus said, “Do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.” (Mark 13:7) Jesus was telling us to be prepared, because while false prophets, wars and rumors of wars, and natural disasters will be increasing, these are only the beginning of sorrows, … Read more

Thought for Today: “A Heart that Praises God Alone” “Praise the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.” (Psalm 111:1) This shows a readiness to praise the one true God, thus making it contemptible to praise anything or anybody else. Back in … Read more

Thought for Today: “The Spirit of Praise” “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
