As many of you know a massive earthquake and successive aftershocks have struck Haiti in recent days. This has wreaked havoc on the people of Haiti. Take a look at these videos. I encourage you to pray for the people of Haiti, and the church leaders there. There is a helpful article here posted by Dr. [...]

During the month of January, the 31 Day Challenge has been going on. Check out the link and get involved! A few verses stuck out to me as I read Proverbs 21 today (mouse over the scripture links to read). Proverbs 21:22-23 and Proverbs 21:30 There is a lot of strength in being wise and [...]

Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. When I read that this morning, I thought “Lord, let that be me!” I sure want to please the Lord in my ways. Not that I have to work for his approval, because I already have God’s [...]

A an old friend of mine, Tim Morrison posted a link concerning the recent tragedy caused by a massive earthquake in Haiti, written by Dr. Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. You can find Tim’s excerpts here, and the full article over at Dr. Mohler’s site here.  I think Dr. Mohler wrote this [...]

So I laughed out loud this morning when I read Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones. Maybe I’m just weird, but here’s why I thought it was funny. If you click the reference (Prov 15:30) it will take you to the verse @  http://bible.logos.com (you can read the [...]

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. ~ Our ways are not God’s ways, so we should seek God when making our decisions. (Isaiah 55:8-9) Proverbs 14:15 The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. ~ I’m the middle school [...]

I saw this on the International Mission Board site. In case you’ve been under a rock, there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010. They need lots of help. It’s the worst earthquake there in 200 years. Check it out. (Click the picture)

A couple of verses concerning discipline stuck out to me today. Proverbs 13:18 and Proverbs 13:24. Listening to correction leads to discipline. Discipline leads us away from poverty and shame. Good stuff from Proverbs 13 today! The idea of heeding the correction, that develops discipline which leads to love and honor, in contrast to ignoring discipline [...]

Go ahead and finish the line in your head…That song is one of the biggest loads of crap I’ve ever heard. That thought came to mind today when I read Proverbs 12:18. “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Growing up at my house, sometimes I thought yelling was [...]

Proverbs 11 We can definitely get caught up in saying too much (Proverbs 11:12-13)! I’ve been working with my lead Pastor (ok wait…not that he says too much, but working with him in respect to saying “what you think” via social media for the purposes of building the Kingdom!) and he is beginning to see [...]
