Walking in The Way
"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of The LORD." [Psalms 119:1] Blessed are those who are in the path of God's word, who follow that way. What a wonderful statement this is! Yes, we may slip from time to time or lose the path, but what path are we …
Skillful In His Word
Cutting an unwanted tree down for a Widow. The blades on tools like chainsaws get dull over time and need to be resharpened. The blade on the particular saw I used was recently sharpened and it reminded me of a spiritual application. We must be diligent to keep God's word sharp in our minds and …
Hearing and Sharing Generously
In the gospel of Mark, while Jesus "began again to teach by the sea side," He spoke a parable about sowing seeds. The parable reads as follows, "Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the …
Quickly Fading
Helping an older single woman, who is busy taking care of an older mother, trim, mow, mulch, etc. The grass gets cut, the bushes get trimmed, the flowers get plucked, the weeds get pulled. These are good reminders that life is fleeting, that, as David says, "Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; …

There is a possibility of listening or reading God's word and it not bearing fruit in our lives because we listened to it or read it incorrectly. Look at two passages from Ezekiel and Hebrews, which shows us the importance of welcoming …
Abiding in Christ Jesus
In my experience, the phrase "abide in Christ" has turned into a catchphrase of sorts. It has lost its meaning through overuse combined with a lack of depth of understanding. Too often, phrases like this in Christianity lose their meaning. We say them, but when probed with how to actually apply them or with what …
Loving the Bread of God
One of the most interesting things about manna to me is that it is apparently what Angels eat/ate. "Man did eat angels' food: He sent them meat to the full." [Psa 78:25] Think of that! But even though the Israelites were being sustained on Angel's food, they murmured! Even though bread miraculously appeared every day …
Zealous for God’s Spoken Word
The Bible tells us that we do not live by physical food alone, but by every spoken word coming from God's mouth. That is a strong statement! Have you ever considered that you would die if you did not receive The Lord's words? The Bible certainly seems to think so. "These wait all upon thee; …
