~ Today’s Scripture art and mini Bible study were designed to give you the steps to take to develop the aroma of Christ. ~ It’s quite descriptive, don’t you think? 2 Corinthians 2:15a (NLT): Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. This verse paints a beautiful picture. And it begs the question […]
I think many people have mixed feelings about today’s verse. Even so, it’s apparently a reader favorite because it has been requested several times. So where do you stand? Do you view it as a holy guilt trip or a holy pep talk? You can do it, you can do it, you can! {clap clap} …
We all want to do better memorizing Scripture, right? I know I do – especially after I did some research on whether or not the Bible tells us to memorize it. What if I told you that you could make a free tool to help you memorize Scripture? Just take a look at this cute …
Today’s verse, as well as lettering style, was a “reader request.” Yes, that’s right, I am happy to take requests – as long as you are not in a big hurry! {smile} After studying this verse, I agreed with my reader that it would make a great card. But I must admit that I wasn’t convinced of that at first. I was a little leary of plucking this verse out of its context …
I’ve got a terrific idea for you. When someone asks you what you got for Valentine’s Day, just say: eternal life! After all, it’s the absolute most extravagant gift ever – especially when you consider we don’t deserve it …
For all the church-volunteer quitters … I’m sure we’ve all been there at one time or another. I know I have. But we have all been called to serve our local church. And many times we jump on an opportunity all gung-ho, only to peter out before the job is done. How can we stop the petering? …
Today’s verse is #17 in our slow-but-sure Fear Not Project. Since my church is reading through the Bible this year – and we started in Genesis – it got me wondering … When was the very first time that God said “Fear not?” …
The Bible tells us that God has spoken in many different ways. Would you like a burning bush? Or a donkey? How about thunder? Maybe a whisper? We could go on. But how He speaks is a study for another day. The point is: we know God speaks. And how He speaks doesn’t affect today’s question, which is … Why Does God Speak To Us? …
I don’t want to leave a legacy. Have you heard that new song by Casting Crowns? It’s a real thinker. Do you want people to remember you? Or only Jesus? That’s what the chorus begs you to ponder. Most of us have thought about leaving some sort of legacy. I know I have. I even own a shelf full of scrapbooks to prove it. But could it be that when we get to heaven, we’ll realize that we should have wanted something better than a legacy for ourselves? What if our lives had the same conclusion as the Lord’s Prayer …
There I was again, grappling with what God was asking me to do. Something I didn’t really want to do. Something I didn’t have time to do. Something I was scared to do. I put it off and hoped it would be forgotten. Do I really want to keep letting comfort and fear win? Here’s what I’ve learned …
