Who . . . or What . . . is First in Your Life? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.” Malachi 3:8 (NKJV) In today’s society there is lots of pressure to have the best of everything. TV ads tout, “You deserve it!” Then, subconsciously and sometimes unrealistically, they embed in the minds of the susceptible that they can have it all. Lynda faithfully tithes to her church each payday, and also gives offerings. At Lynda’s workplace, though, Dana, a new employee, is h

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.

“I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people.” Jonah 4:2b (NLT) The story of Jonah tells of God’s judgement, and of His mercy. Nineveh was a very violent and wicked place. God is holy and can’t stand sin, so He planned to destroy it. He commanded Jonah to go to Nineveh to warn them, and to preach repentance. But Jonah had no love for those people. He knew about God’s forgiving heart, so
Expressing My Gratitude (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“What you say flows from what is in your heart.” Luke 6:45 (NLT); “I thank my God every time I remember you.” Philippians 1:3 (NIV) Some people may think that sending “Thank You” notes is old fashioned. However we do it, it should never become old fashioned to acknowledge our appreciation for others. Like the verses above say, if our hearts are in the right place, then it should be natural to speak words of thankfulness, or put it in writing. I have tried to remember to do this, but I know I hav
