Psalm 139:16 (NLT) | You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. I ran across a quote the other day that says, “Life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards” (Bessie Coleman).…
Today is National Freedom Day. This is when we commemorate President Lincoln’s signing of the resolution which would become the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, outlawing slavery. President Lincoln signed that resolution on February 1, 1865. National Freedom Day is observed annually (and has been since 1942) by simply laying a wreath at the…
“With God, all things are possible.” Does this bring you hope? I pray it does, because I believe it. The context of this verse comes on the heels of Jesus’ interaction with the rich young ruler…the one Christ ultimately told to sell all his possessions, give to the poor, and follow Him. This was hard…
Today’s verse is a great one to read; especially if you have a case of the Mondays that leaves you feeling worried. Did you know the Bible has 365 different iterations of the commandment to not fear? It is frequently combined with another commandment to be bold. In this case from Isaiah 41:10, though, we…
This week we explored Galatians 3 as part of our current series. The main crux of this week’s message is how the Apostle Paul told his readers to focus on the crucified Christ. Here are the points, passages, and ponderings from this morning’s installment in our series on Galatians… Last Week: Galatians 3:1-2 (MSG) |…
Happy National Puzzle Day! This is a day to consider how doing puzzles — whether they are jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, crossword puzzles, number puzzles, etc. — can help improve brain function. Puzzles are fascinating because they help us to consider different ways to view a problem and find a solution. Yesterday we looked at…
We are living in a time of peak spiritual warfare. Do you feel it? It really isn’t anything new, but it feels different. Words are being redefined, traditions reordered, and reality reshaped. The whole idea in this evil barrage is to get us to question what we believe to be true. It seems to start…
Do you feel like you have all you need? I think about my life and can call up a number of things I feel I need. Some are significant and some could easily be deemed by others as silly. When I read today’s verse where the Apostle Paul wrote that God will meet all his…
What comes to mind when you read today’s verse? Honestly, this is a verse that is frequently misquoted and misunderstood to mean, “God will not put on you more than you can handle.” That is NOT what this verse means. As I mentioned in yesterday’s writing, God cannot have anything to do with evil; therefore,…
Today’s verse brings back a lot of memories to mind. My childhood pastor would always pray this verse aloud as he began a sermon. There were times I wondered if it was just a habit, but now that I’ve had an opportunity to preach and teach God’s Word, I realize it was more of a…

Integrity // Matthew 26:36-44
Integrity is something that matters to God. It is part of how He designed us to operate. All facets of life go better when we walk in and life with integrity. We cannot always get it right though. The encouraging piece is that God doesn’t leave us for dead when we mess up. He lifts…
