We have all described ourselves as being out of breath. It is a common figure of speech to describe the feeling after physical exertion, perhaps due to strong fumes or smoke. The truth is that saying we are out of breath is an exaggeration because if we were truly unable to breathe, we would quickly die from lack of oxygen. In Genesis, God formed man from dust and breathed life into him. Man was t...

The parable of the prodigal son is one of three found in Luke 15. These parables are not an indictment of those who fall short, but an illustration of God's great love for his creation. Each parable ends with a celebration when what was lost is found. The message for us is that no matter if we are the lost sheep, the lost coin, or the wayward son, there is a path back to God's love and forgiveness...

Some people are planners who are intentional about mapping out all the details. Others are dreamers, with an idea about the outcome, but who will deal with details as they come to pass. Others are worriers, who stress about all the things that might happen. Matthew 6:34 says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. This passage speaks...

None of us have gotten to where we are on our own. Along the way, a friend, co-worker, family member, Sunday School Teacher, or parent has helped, encouraged, taught, or made a way for us. Humans are social creatures. When God said it was not good for man to be alone, He was referring to more than just a spouse to share life with. Everyone has a role to play in the body of Christ. No matter how sm...

We have phrases we use to describe when someone or something is not working as expected. We say something is off the rails when things are going wrong, or if someone gets distracted, we say they got sidetracked. This phrase comes from the railroad industry. A train becoming derailed is a huge problem. A sidetrack is less of a problem. It is a section of tracks where cars are moved to rearrange the...

God created the heavens and the earth, and then He created man to rule over all He had made. God does not make mistakes or change His mind. Nothing surprises Him, even though we often fail to live up to His plans. The writer of Hebrews notes that God put everything under man's feet, but there are still some things not under man's control. The word "but" often trips us up. It interrupts and disrupt...
