When Silence Speaks Wisdom
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some th...

Think Before You Speak: The Power of Words
I’m really enjoying diving into the area of the power of words. We need to be conscious of how we use them and the results of what will happen when we do. That means we need to be actively thinking about what and how we use our words. “The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mou...

Quick to Judge, Slow to Understand
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”Proverbs 18:2 How quick do you judge others? How often do you feel misunderstood? If I’m honest, I’d say for me, quite a bit on both...Look, no one likes to be misunderstood, yet we often make faulty judgments of peop...

God's No Is Always For Your Good
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...

God's Definition of Success vs. Culture's
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you’re continuing down your current path with your current definition of success. You see it? Stay with me. You keep working as hard as you’re working.

Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Anger
So, my buddy and I got talking about how we all fall into the trap of reacting to quickly and loudly when things aren’t going our way. We’re all imperfect, it’s ok, you can admit it. We all do it. In James we are told;“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to spe...

The Power of Restraint in Words
So I dipped my toe into a debate with someone who without solicitation started attacking me for my opinions and beliefs. I say, “dipped my toe” because right after thinking what I should say in my defense, I thought better of it. No amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons view...

Guard Your Words, Preserve Your Life
What we say and the words we use matter. This is a big one for me as most people who know me know I always say exactly what I’m thinking. I definitely don’t “sugar coat” anything.

As a thought about what to write last night I was just laying there quietly reflecting on everything when I saw a book on my nightstand my dad had given me about the promise of the Psalm of David, Psalm 23. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He lea...
