True Weight

Sitting in the class for elementary school principals the directions were to predict which of the items in front of us was the heaviest. We took the picture cut outs of the objects and ranked them from lightest to heaviest. Finally we glued our choices to the yellow construction paper.In the next part of the science investigation we had to check our predictions. Each object was weighed and compared with the other items until a final outcome was determined.

How like our lives and choices. We are asked every day to look at what we say or do. God, in so many words, has asked us to look at eternity and to decide does this choice weigh more than my soul. Am I willing to go on my own predictions? Have I taken this choice and weighed or checked it against the Word of God?

What I found out that day was just by using my eyes to examine the difference I was fooled. It took an unbiased definite measure to determine the true weight. Let’s use the true measure of God’s word when making choices that affect our very souls.

Elisha, The Provision is in the Obedience

Sometimes I've felt that I've only had very little to give so why give it at all. This morning the thought came to me "All you you have is all you need to give." This thought came as I was reading the following passage in II Kings 4: 42 A man came from Baal Salishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain. "Give it to the people to eat, "Elisha said. 43 " How can I set this before a hundred men?" his servant asked. But Elisha answered, "Give it to the people to eat," For this is what the Lord says:" They will eat and have some left over" 44Then he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord. This man only had twenty loaves to give to the prophet. The principle at work is: All that we have is all that we need to give. When we obey, God gives the increase. There are many examples in the Bible of this principle in action: Like the widow at ...

Solange is Not Alone in Going Gangsta- We’ve all got one

“Solange, Beyonce’s sister captured on elevator camera beating JZ,” screamed the headlines. None of us know what led up to this seemingly outrageous event. However I do know that all of us have a friend or family member who will go gangsta on someone who they think did us wrong. Even Jesus had a "Ride or die buddy" though his ride was pretty short. His name was Peter. Peter went gangsta in the Garden of Gethsemane. Remember Peter took a sword and cut off Malchus’ ear. King David, writer of the Psalms, had two first cousins, Joab and Abishai that he could not control. David said, “These sons of Zeruiah are too violent for me.” They were willing to cut off anyone’s head that they thought threatened David. Also Moses, in Numbers 11, had to quiet down Joshua from going after people who Joshua thought were out of line. Now whether you have a relative or friend like this, or you are the one like this may I offer a word of advice. Well it actually comes from Jesus, not just to...
