Suffering for doing good

If you've got that feeling to do good things, even with the potential cost to you, with no ulterior motives, with nothing but unselfish love for someone like your elderly neighbors that you're shopping for, why not acknowledge that's God?  Jesus told us He'd try to get our attention. Here ...

Why do you live? The economy or God?

Why do you live? The economy or God?

Why do you live? The economy or God?  Really, that question comes down to who's your "god"?  Do you live for the god of money - the economy?  Or for the God of the Bible?  It's a question that starts at the top - sort of.  With our president - ...
Do Christians need tax breaks to give more?

Do Christians need tax breaks to give more?

Trust in God; Trust also in me

Trust in God; Trust also in me – especially with cancer

Trust in God; Trust also in me - but how and why? Interesting, isn't it? The why part is actually relatively easy to see.  If we trust God, then our hearts won't be troubled.  That's the goal, isn't it?   But the how part.  Even though I want the goal of ...

Each day has enough trouble of its own

Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Isn't that the truth?  I'm guessing pretty much everyone reading this feels that way.  It's true.  But do you know where it comes from?  Further, why it was said?  I've known the where part for decades.  I've been learning the why part ...
collaborate

Don’t settle for less, #07: Don’t relentlessly collaborate

Don't relentlessly collaborate as a "thing" for successful people seems to be at odds with being a successful Christian.  After all, what about church?  Bible study?  Small groups?  Christian community?  Aren't those all important things for a Christian?  In fact, these Christian community meetings are so important, the author of ...
