Paul writes in Ephesians 4:20-32 about the changes that should have taken place in the lives of those who “learned Christ.” He enumerates both positive and negative statements regarding aspects of conduct and character, even stating the reason, “and give no opportunity to the devil.” Read this short section of Scripture before proceeding. I am sure you have driven on roads passing damaged guardrai...

What does it mean to be toxic? To be toxic means to be harmful, malicious, or poisonous, causing distress and damage to others' mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Toxic behaviors are often characterized by self-centeredness, manipulation, a lack of boundaries or empathy, and a consistent disregard for others' feelings and needs. These actions can leave individuals feeling drained,...

I’m picky when it comes to my tools. I keep them clean, lubricated and organized. I wash my shovels, rakes and hand tools after every use. I lubricate them with oil, check for wear and make needed repairs. I winterize my lawn equipment so that when the spring comes, everything starts easily and runs well. Twice a year I unbolt my lawnmower blade and sharpen it. It is truly amazing looking at the h...

“Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Now before I go further, we all do it, including myself, and we have to be mindful of it, but… Why do people complain? Things don’t happen the...

I planted a Wax Myrtle in the front yard. I thought it would be great evergreen to shelter a bedroom window that was in front of the fence. I hated that Myrtle! Don’t ever plant Wax Myrtle. You must trim them four or five times a year just to keep them looking okay. They grow aggressively, invading everything around them. Even if you kill it with Roundup, dig out the root ball (if you can), there...

I heard a quote from a visiting preacher once that went…  “God doesn’t want you to send him a thank you note. He wants you to be the thank you note!” ~ Mark Roberts There’s nothing wrong with sending thank you notes. It’s a kind and thoughtful gesture and it does convey thanks for whatever the occasion. However, we are called to live lives separate, holy, sanctified, and transformed. Live the than...

I came home from the office through the garage as usual. As I entered the house, I could hear Joe speaking to Selma. My Father and Mother-in-law lived in the Master bedroom of our home at the end of the hall from the garage. By this time Selma had become bedfast due to progressing illness, her strength waning and pain becoming unremitting from degenerative bone disease. Joe was just finishing the...

There are two types of unprofitable servants described in the gospel accounts: The type who is described by the Parable of the Talents: Matthew 25:14-30 - unprofitable has to do with earning, gaining or building something you were meant to help grow The type who is described by the Luke regarding Faith and Duty: Luke 17:5-10 - unprofitable has to do with expectation, seeking credit or recognition...

The Battle for Our Souls: WHAT ARE THE ASPECTS OF YOUR NATURE? What are the two aspects of man’s nature? Distinctions between Flesh & Spirit   Man’s relationship to both realms   Man’s God Given Capability Capability of the Conscience...Can you ignore it?

Just imagine. You remain young, attractive, and vital. No matter what you do, you never change. But you are drawn to your portrait which daily begins to change, become altered with a twisted mouth, humped shoulders, straw like hair, and witch like hands. Every day you are compelled to look at this constantly altered image of self. Daily, with each act of hatred, lust, envy, and greed; the portrait...

Last night I had a pan that I used to cook chicken, and it has burnt on grease caked to the pan. I would scrape and scrape and scrape, but not making much of a difference. Then, using hot water, I let it soak overnight. Everything released from the pan with a slight scrape, a nudge if you will, the pan was totally clean. Sometimes, being transformed by the renewing of our mind means letting it soa...

I was recently asked how I control my anger. Honestly in years past I did poorly in this department. I can recall vividly those events in my life where I was such a fool, blasting out in rage over stupid things. Even when I recall those events in the privacy of my own mind, I hang my head in shame and beg God for mercy and forgiveness. My heart pounds and I get a lump in my throat as I review the...

So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. As I ask you this question, I also ask myself… W...
