In life, we often feel compelled to fix whatever seems wrong. As parents, that instinct is especially strong when our children are young. We cannot bear to hear them cry, so we rush to make things better. Because they cannot yet tell us what is wrong, we work through every possibility until the crying stops. … Continue reading Don’t Grab the Ark!

Called to Accountability
“Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account.” John R. W. Stott.

Be Careful on Whom You Lean!
Life teaches us that we were never meant to do everything alone. From childhood, we have been inspired by partnerships—Batman had Robin, and Bert had Ernie. As we grew older, we recognized the same truth in other places: Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen, and Paul had Silas. God often places people in our lives to … Continue reading Be Careful on Whom You Lean!
Reject Excuses: Embrace Accountability
We live in a world where personal responsibility is too often avoided. People neglect the preparation required for an event or activity, then look for someone else to blame when they fail. In doing so, they overlook a hard truth: their choices—and their inaction—helped shape the outcome. In 2 Kings 6, we encounter a king … Continue reading Reject Excuses: Embrace Accountability
Surrounded by the Enemy
At times, we find ourselves waiting for a word—the results of a medical test, a decision after a job interview, news of a child’s birth, or confirmation that a loved one arrived safely. Whatever the reason, we long to hear it. What happens when no word comes? This was the king of Samaria’s situation: no … Continue reading Surrounded by the Enemy

Do What is Right: Actions Have Consequences!
Children often test boundaries by pushing limits, fully aware that their actions may result in parental discipline; nevertheless, this awareness typically does not deter them. Then there are those adventurous young people who will venture into uncharted waters without fear of consequences. Sometimes, adults behave in the same way. David behaved just like that when … Continue reading Do What is Right: Actions Have Consequences!
The Truth About Jealousy
The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God. Jerry Bridges. Galatians 5:19-21 NLT When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and … Continue reading The Truth About Jealousy
Obedience Honors God
There are people who desire to be a leader. While this is noteworthy, the price that one pays for leadership can be extremely high. Leaders do not lead things, they lead people. Training an animal to sit can often be less challenging than guiding individuals who resist leadership. God chose Moses to lead Israel from … Continue reading Obedience Honors God
