A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.…

  We live in a society where the word “love” is used loosely to refer to our feelings toward God, our family, the family pet, and even our favorite dessert. “Love” is more than just words spoken. In I Corinthians 13 we find some qualities or characteristics of love. “Charity suffereth long, and is kind;…

  Lord, forgive me for my lead foot. That has been my prayer a couple of times over the past week or so. For those who don’t know, the definition of “lead foot” is the following: “Used in reference to a person’s habit of driving too fast.” Think of “putting the metal to the pedal.”…

  In this study I am interested in what the Bible says, not human opinion! In our “politically correct” thinking, nothing should ever be said to offend anyone for any reason.

  The Book of Jonah always intrigues me. It reveals God’s grace to not only the sinner who has never known Him, but also to those who serve Him, yet stray away, as Jonah did. Peoples’ minds immediately go to the whale when Jonah is brought up. I tend to think of a funny story…

  Many in our world view money as the most important thing in life. It has become a “god” to many. We need to wake up and learn what are really the most important things in life. Sometimes it seems that our sense of values is distorted. Far too often we seem to value material…

  One of the grand characters of the Old Testament is a man named Abraham. Three times in the Bible he is called “the friend of God” (2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23). What greater compliment could anyone receive than to be called “the friend of God.” We can be “friends of God” if…
