Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
My pondering on scriptures aside from my devotionals.
We saw a red fox the other day and Kim and I wondered what they eat here. Quick research says they are omnivores – they eat rodents, rabbits, and birds, as well as fruits and vegetables, and even insects or scavenging for food scraps when needed. We have all heard …
I teach our church to use their daily devotional to assist them in consistency in their Bible, and that the Bible supersedes any devotional. I teach to read the entire chapter of the day’s devotion before reading the devotion. My pondering this morning was this. If we read our day’s …
Most American’s have no clue why they celebrate Labor Day, while the evidence still stands tall all around them as skeletons from a revolution they never had to fight. Old, dilapidated factories from the Industrial Revolution remain embedded in the very heart of most of our cities. Monuments of these …
BAITED QUESTION, what does the Bible call a man who does not care for his children? We quote or have heard it quoted, 1 Timothy 5:8 saying a father is an infidel. But, is that who the verse is speaking of? The answer is not found in this single verse, …

I am intrigued reading about believers who had the hardest times in life, yet did the most for our Lord. This, while so many skate through life in such easy and do so little for our Lord. One faithful servant of God has on her tombstone a phrase from Mark …
Jesus wants to be both Christ and Lord of your life: AS CHRIST, Jesus frees your soul from Hell. Sadly, many unbelievers refuse Christ’s free gift of eternal life (Acts 24:25; 26:28-29). AS LORD, Jesus prepares your soul for heaven. Sadly, many believers refuse to thank Christ for His sacrifice …
