The news this past week has been filled with alleged stories of the behavior of a proposed judicial appointment. This is not an article dealing with any political view about this matter. It is simply an attempt to call to our attention to impact that our behaviour has on those in our society. There are some valuable lessons to be learned by…

How we use those precious minutes God gives us each day can determine our eternal destiny. Even David failed to use his time wisely on at least one occasion. The Bible describes that time, “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle…but David remained at Jerusalem. Then it happened one evening that David…

“The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Tim. 6:10).  How so very true that statement is, and has been proven so time and time again!  “The love of money” has so nestled its way into the hearts of certain malevolent persons, that they have heartlessly sought out and taken advantage of some unsuspecting and vulnerable folks.…

You remember Cain’s seemingly sarcastic retort to the Lord, which was not a wise move on his part. God never answered that questioned directly, but we know that the answer was definitely,…

Imagine a situation where you were annually given half a million dollars. You were told to invest it wisely, and the profit from how you invested it each year would all be yours. How much time would you devote, knowing that in the next decade you would be investing over $52,000,000? This would never happen—right? Well, there is a parallel that happens…

There are some people who are very good at giving directions—they can tell you where something is and how to get there.  Thankfully, we have a God who is “perfect in knowledge” (Job 37:16), for “His way is perfect” (Psa. 18:30).  When He tells us where something is and how to get there (especially the most important directions of all, which concern…
