Thought For Today: “Worship Warriors” Before David was a warrior, he was a worshiper. When God was looking for the next king the prophet Samuel said, “The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart.” (1 Samuel 13:14a) It was because of his heart for worship that he was chosen to play for … Read more

Thought For Today: “Bible Educated” I recently read the following description of America’s public education system that 70% of our children do not receive the education required to prosper in the 21st Century. Also, another survey in 2022 said that America ranked 14th in the world. And while many factors have contributed to America’s decline in education, … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Bible: Like No Other” There are those who doubt what the Bible says because of perceived discrepancies. But the benefit of the doubt, however, should always be in favor of the Bible, rather than those who cite contradictions thousands of years later. And over the last century, there have been many … Read more

Thought for Today: “Preserved for a Purpose” God has a purpose beyond our present understanding. The Lord preserves us so He can do something great through each of us and through our situation. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,”’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Wounds of God’s Love” All of us carry wounds from our past. Not just the wounds of betrayal and abuse, but the wounds of love. Wounds that we want to forget, but wounds that are needed. These are wounds that God allows and even inflicts to remind us about His love … Read more

Thought For Today: “God Gave It All” God gave the gift of His Son, Jesus, for sinners. “So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” (Acts 11:17) God gave the gift of His … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Power of God’s Word” “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12) How powerful is God’s … Read more

Thought For Today: “No Greater Work” When Jehoshaphat took over as king of Judah, he strengthened himself against the advances of ungodly Israel by reinforcing the cities and building garrisons throughout the land. He also walked in the former ways of King David, his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord, and he … Read more

Thought For Today: “Power to Get Unstuck” The problem with many Christians is that they are stuck between the cross and Pentecost. What do I mean by that? It’s not that they don’t believe in Jesus, or that their faith is stuck in a rut, but that they’ve never taken their faith beyond what they … Read more

Thought For Today: “Where Contentment Resides” Our search for contentment will only come up empty when we look for it in people, places, or things. Instead, if we want to be content, let’s look no further than Jesus Christ. Paul understood need, but he also understood that contentment wasn’t in what the Philippians supplied to … Read more

Thought For Today: “Facing Fear By Faith” Besides procrastination, our fears hold us back from getting a fresh start. Fear has the ability to paralyze our potential, keeps us from launching out, and keeps us from having the type of faith to move forward into God’s will. “The fear of man brings a snare, but … Read more

Thought For Today: “Let’s Recalibrate” The Apostle Paul teaches us that it isn’t about all the stuff we think we need, rather it’s about finding what we need in the Lord. “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content … I can do … Read more

Thought For Today: “God’s Purpose Doesn’t Change” In Malachi 3:6, the Lord said to Israel, “For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” But later in chapter four we read of God’s judgement, but in His judgment, He is leaving a door of hope. “For … Read more

Weekend’s Thought: “Tapped by God” The richest spot on earth is neither South Africa’s diamond mines, the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, nor Silicon Valley and it’s microchips. The richest land is found in the local cemeteries because that’s where there are so many unfulfilled promises and untapped dreams. If we could harness all the … Read more

Thought for Today: “Restored and Repurposed” “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12) Asking God to help us number our days is not a game; rather it’s a sure bet.” Therefore, we need to ask the Lord for the wisdom to restore and repurpose our … Read more

Thought For Today: “What’s In Your Hand?” Sometimes we’re so busy we have no time for God. And while these times may be filled with things that are good, important, or necessary, if they preoccupy us and divert our attention away from the Lord, then they are actually a hindrance. What happens is that our … Read more

Thought For Today: “Our Highest Pursuit” “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) We got it all backwards. We wake up in the morning, make breakfast, get the kids ready for school and then off to work we go. Or we … Read more

Thought For Today: “Seize the Day for God” Seize the day, or in and Latin, “Carpe Diem,” was used prior to the coming of Christ by Roman Poet Horace to express the idea that one should enjoy life while they can. But for Christians, those who seize the day live in a dimension of divine … Read more

Weekend’s Thought: “Nothing Iffy About the Holy Spirit” “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” (Acts 1:8a) There’s nothing iffy when it comes to the power available through the residing presence of the Holy Spirit. This is assured and confirmed when the Apostle Paul said that our bodies are … Read more
