How do you measure or monitor your trust in God? Does it vary depending on the difficulty of the season your life is in, or the pending news regarding an uncertain future? How is your trust in Him related to your love for Him? When God tells us to love Him with all of ourContinue reading “It’s Friday…Minute By Minute”

It’s Friday…Ask, Ask, Ask
If a Fortune 500 company trained you to think and act in its interest, and then handed you a pile of signed blank checks, what would you do with them? File them away? No, the temptation to use them for the benefit of the company would be too great. If you are a follower ofContinue reading “It’s Friday…Ask, Ask, Ask”
It’s Friday…We Have to Change
It’s difficult to watch the news these days, isn’t it? The vitriol is off the charts. It’s becoming more and more difficult to discern who is being honest. It seems that the best liars gain the upper hand. Do you ever imagine a culture in which there is no word to describe deception – noContinue reading “It’s Friday…We Have to Change”
It’s Friday…We’ve Been Cut Free
As we celebrate our 246th year of Independence as Americans this weekend, my heart is also rejoicing that as children of God we are set free from the oppression of sin. Israel rejoiced in the fact that despite years of oppression – despite slavery in Egypt, domination by foreign powers, captivities in Assyria and Babylon,Continue reading “It’s Friday…We’ve Been Cut Free”
It’s Friday…We Have An Advantage
“Knowledgeable people are found everywhere, but we are cruelly short of wise people.” Have you found that to be true? In an unwise world, wisdom speaks volumes, doesn’t it? Rarely does anyone do the right thing simply because it’s the right thing to do. Our relativistic culture doesn’t understand why followers of Jesus point toContinue reading “It’s Friday…We Have An Advantage”
It’s Friday…Hear Him Sing
It’s Father’s Day weekend. My father went to be with Jesus six years ago. He loved, loved to sing. That was his happy place. Why not, he was a “chip-off-the-old-block” as they say. He’s now singing his heart out to, and before The One who gave him his voice and passion. Did you know thatContinue reading “It’s Friday…Hear Him Sing”
It’s Friday…Its Hard To See The Big Picture
We aren’t sovereign. As much as we try to control our environment – and we really try hard sometimes, don’t we? – all it takes is one little hiccup to prove to us that we can’t and aren’t in control. So, if our goal is to reflect God’s attributes, and God is sovereign, how canContinue reading “It’s Friday…Its Hard To See The Big Picture”
It’s Friday…This Life Is Not The End Game
God is in control. We’ve all heard it before, probably hundreds of times. We know it doesn’t mean that He handles us like puppets, but we also know it doesn’t mean that this world is a random free-for-all. Somewhere in between those two extremes is an existence that is under the Sovereign Hand of ourContinue reading “It’s Friday…This Life Is Not The End Game”
It’s Friday…Contemplate Eternity
The world is a confusing place, isn’t it? Sometimes the wicked prosper and the righteous don’t. On the surface, that runs contrary to the promises of God, but we can’t afford to look for God on the surface. Eventually, we learn that the prosperity of the wicked and the misfortune of the righteous are temporaryContinue reading “It’s Friday…Contemplate Eternity”
It’s Friday…Let’s Reflect Him Well
We are all fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). We are all the culmination of God’s creation, crafted in our mother’s womb. Have you ever thought why He would create us? What was He lacking in His heaven? There were angels who worshiped Him, worked for Him, and served Him faithfully. We hear of cherubimContinue reading “It’s Friday…Let’s Reflect Him Well”
