A Biblical View of Heroes of the Faith
There is a sense in which the Bible points us to individuals who were examples of Christlikeness, but where does encouragement end and hero worship begin?
Moth, Rust, and a Mouse-Nibbled Blanket
Have you ever noticed that our treasures have a habit of being breakable or easily lost? Mathew 6:19-23 helps us understand the nature of treasures, and how they impact our hearts.
Affliction or a Merry Heart?
In Proverbs 15, there is an interesting contrast between the “afflicted” and those with a “merry heart.” At first glance, it might seem that the verse is dealing with circumstances, things beyond our control that have such an influence on our emotions. But a closer look reveals a deeper truth about being a child of God in a world where circumstances don’t always go our way.
Making Time for Wonder
When was the last time you stopped and marveled over something in nature? God has built wonder into His creation, and there is value in taking time to let ourselves consider the beauty and intricacy of even the mundane things of life.
Thirsty or Thriving?
In the book of Jeremiah, God puts on display two choices and their results—the same two choices you and I face in our lives today.
Put it Away!
It is all too easy to let clutter build up in our lives. But we can just as easily become spiritually cluttered. So what do we do about it?
Soul vs. Substance
In the Bible, word choice is never accidental. In Proverbs 10:3, there is a comparison drawn, but with an important difference.
Big Picture, Small Steps
As Christians, we are called to live for the big picture. But the big picture is often made up of small steps.
“What Doest Thou Here?”
Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our own problems and discouragements that we forget to seek God Himself, not just what He can do for us.
