- Self Denial
Selfless
Every screen tells us to love self, focus on self, better self. Jesus says the opposite. Deny self. When there's more of God, you're Selfless.
- Compassion
Angels Unawares
I pray nightly for compassion, especially toward those who oppose me. Compassion isn't giving up on truth. It's loving people while staying rooted in the Word. Some have entertained angels unawares.
- Scripture
Don't Stop With My Ramblings
The daily writing has kept me in the Word, and I hope it's kept you there too. But don't stop with my ramblings. Abide in the vine. Get into the Bible yourself. Happy Independence Day.
- Speech
Nothing Nice to Say
Death and life are in the tongue. What comes out of the mouth flows from what's stored in the heart. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Turns out that was the whole thing.
- Mind
Take Every Thought Captive
Loss makes the dark thoughts show up fast. We have to take every thought captive and gauge it against God's Word. Paul told us what to think about. Ask God to help. He will.
- Responsibility
What's Yours to Carry
We duck responsibility, delegate it, blame someone else. We've been doing it since the Garden. But we can't dodge our own load. We get to choose how we respond, and God holds us to it.
- Humility
Just Let Him Have It
How humble are you? David wasn't perfect, but he was humble enough to come back. Jesus humbled Himself to the cross. So humble yourself and come back to Him. He's got you. Just let Him have it.
- Faith
I Got This Boys
The world demands proof. But Christians walk by faith, not by sight. When the seas crash, Jesus comes in like a relief pitcher saying I got this boys. Look beyond the raging seas.
- Gratitude
Look Them in the Eye
Gratitude is easy with the people close to us. But what about the others? The clerk, the waiter, the neighbor. Jesus made time for everyone. Look one stranger in the eye today and mean it.
- Gratitude
What We Don't Say
What do people see on your face? What do they hear when you speak? Gratitude shapes our outlook, our attitude, even our expressions. And sometimes the most grateful thing we can do is not say the thing.
- Intentionality
Look at the Unseen
Whatcha thinking about? Being intentional with our minds is a discipline. When we shift focus from what we want to what we have, we give praise to our Provider. The unseen is eternal.
- Presence
Never Means Never
When we're suffering, it's easy to feel alone. But His Word says He will never leave us or forsake us. Never means NEVER. He's there in the middle of the hard thing. You just have to look.
- Gratitude
The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.
- Gratitude
Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.
- Gratitude
Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
- Forgiveness
Cancel the Debt
Forgiven people should be forgiving people. Forgiveness is a decision to cancel the debt, regardless of whether the other person admits, apologizes, or even knows. Who can you release today?
- Grace
The Most Expensive Gift
Grace. What is it exactly? Paul says we can't earn God's favor by works. Righteousness comes through faith. Grace is the most expensive gift, given freely to the one who puts his faith in Jesus.
- Peace
Not As the World Gives
Can we have peace when our world is turned upside down? The world's peace is sketchy. Jesus offers a different kind, built on God Himself, that thrives in the storm.
- Growth
He's Not Finished
Are you living in growth mode with Christ? None of us are going to get there in this life, and that's okay. God has more patience than we do, and He's not finished with us yet.
- Mind
What Are You Feeding Your Mind?
What are you feeding your mind? What we allow ourselves to focus on shapes our actions. The mind is a gift from God, and Paul tells us exactly what to think about.
- Suffering
Not a Verdict
Job was righteous and suffered. Jesus said the sun rises on the evil and the good. Suffering is not a verdict on your standing with God. We all suffer. The reward is eternal.
- Suffering
Comforted to Comfort
The way out of suffering rarely looks like what we imagined. Sometimes His plan is to remain in it and stand under its weight. And the comfort we receive becomes comfort we can give.
- Perseverance
Press On
After the inventory and the asking comes the pressing on. Forgetting what lies behind, straining toward what lies ahead. We have a new start. We choose to run.
- Gratitude
Nothing Compares
Much of what we're grateful for are things of this world. But in light of what we have in Christ, nothing compares. Nothing this world offers comes close to a personal relationship with Jesus.
