It’s Friday…Reflect God’s Reality
Words are powerful, aren’t they? They can wound the spirit of another, often leaving permanent scars. They can sow seeds of corruption in innocent or wavering minds. They can stain good reputations and frustrate good plans. They can carry a profound blessing; but they can also carry a powerful curse. The apostle Peter learned about…
It’s Friday…Take A Deep Breath
Ever been stressed? Ever had people hound you? Anyone ever spread lies about you? Ever had people view you with contempt? Ever felt like everything seemed bleak? Ever felt ashamed and beaten down? Some of us have experienced one of these. Most of us haven’t experienced all of these at once like David in the…
It’s Friday…Our First Resort
It’s convenient to be modern. King Asa of Judah in the Old Testament was the great-grandson of King Solomon; he was a remarkable modern man. No, he didn’t have the technology or the historical perspective that we have today, but his approach to his problem-solving would have fit our modern era easily. Though Asa had…
It’s Friday…Total Immersion Is Always Best
A man went to live in a foreign country. He loved it. He wanted to apply for citizenship, and having no real ties to his former country, he began to live like the natives. He adopted the dress and habits of his new culture. He began to learn the language. He refused to eat food…
It’s Friday…It’s An Unalterable Fact
The shifting sands of this world are fertile ground for nothing but fear. We see uncertainty all around us. In the global financial markets, in the comings and goings of military forces, in rapidly spreading illnesses, and in the chaos of the political scene. We can easily panic under the illusion this world presents us,…
It’s Friday…Let’s Get Over Them
There’s an attitude that is perhaps most subtle in corrupting our perspective; It’s the sense of regret we feel over missed opportunities and past failures. It plays a devastating mind game that makes us wonder what life would have been like “if” – if we hadn’t fallen, if so-and-so hadn’t hurt us, if we had…
It’s Friday…Accept An Absolute Truth
Are you a worrier? Join the club. Its membership includes the entire human race. Yes, there are those who will deny they worry, and on the surface they may seem carefree. But deep down inside, they fear something – tragedy, abandonment, when or how they will die. Human anxiety is universal. We are all born…
It’s Friday…But Don’t Expect Perfection
Trials come, and we plead for relief. Circumstances oppress, and we pray for deliverance. Health, relationships, work, and just about everything else in our lives grow difficult, and we ask God to straighten them out. We don’t like the pressures of life, and we lift every anxious thought to Him, as we should. But we…
It’s Friday…He Still Speaks
It is hard for human nature to accept correction. (Have you tried correcting a two-year-old lately?) We like to think that we were born in a pristine natural state, corrupted only over time under the influence of a rotten society. We want to be able to say, “This is just the way I am,” and…
It’s Friday…Dwell There and Rest
What do you do when the world seems dangerous? We all have instinctive responses. But God asks us to do something that is contrary to our instincts. He calls us to rest. How can we rest when disasters threaten? How can we live safely in an unsafe world? It all depends on where we choose…
