The “F” Word
The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked. Proverbs 24:16 I love the “F” word. I used to hate it because it sounded awful coming out of my mouth, but it really is a very effective one when used properly. The word I’m talking about is “Failure.” Failure is a part of life and…
Keep your fork!
This day came ye out in the month Abib. And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou…
Ready, Set, Go!
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.”…
The Secret Place
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 There are times when life is absolute chaos. Our natural human response to trouble is “fight or flight.” Face the issue or run from it. What we choose depends on the situation,…
Hook, Line, and Sinker
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:15 The expression “Hook, Line, and Sinker” was birthed in 1865. Literally it means the fish took not only the bait, but swallowed the hook, line, and sinker whole. If someone played a trick…

And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 1 Samuel 17:2-3 The…
Working, Watering, Warning
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 1 Corinthians 3:10 The Church (the body of Christ) is God’s design. Paul was used by God…
For such a time as this
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14 If Esther chose…
Sacrifice of Praise
For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14 An offering is a gift you present that is accepted or rejected. A sacrifice is something you surrender or give up for the sake of someone or something else. If you offer your neighbor a ride home, that is…
Knock Knock
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 Now is the part where you say – who’s there? It’s annoying when you knock on a door…
