Self-Righteous Discipline 

When you hear the phrase spiritual disciplines, you might think of monks who live in a monastery or people who have taken vows of poverty. You might think spiritual disciplines are reserved for eccentric or unique individuals who love the Lord, and you might not consider yourself a person like that. 

In Jesus’ day, the Pharisees defined their spiritual sta

Judge Not 

In the sermon on the Mount, Christ tells us not to judge. One of the definitions of judging is to evaluate critically without knowing. Have you ever been critical of someone or said something about someone's behaviour or dress without knowing them or their circumstances and then heard these words: "Don't judge, or you too will be judged"? 

Jesus does not imply here that we may never evaluate people or ma

Secret Sin 

According to Jesus, adultery is not only the act of having sex outside of marriage; it is also something you do in your mind. Job, who understood this, had said, "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl". Job knew the danger of his heart being led by his eyes (Job 31). 

David allowed his heart to be led by his eyes when "he saw a woman bathing"; he saw that she "was very beautif

Kingdom People 

God likes to see you look good and prosperous. Our God is an extravagant God! He loves to do exceedingly beyond anything we can hope for or imagine. It gives Him pleasure to pour out His abundance and goodness in our lives. It gives Him pleasure to give us His kingdom now. 

What is the kingdom of God? It’s simply God’s heavenly operating system or His way of doing things. Throughout script

Shine Bright 

Today’s verse reminds me of a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt “It’s more important to light a candle than to curse the darkness”. Unfortunately, many Christians are known as people who curse darkness. As Christians, we are sometimes more about what we oppose rather than being shining models of truth and love. 

In scripture, Jesus calls us to be light in a sin-darkened world. We are light when we li

God be My Guide On This Journey 

Paul reminds us that the race is not for the swift but for him that endures… It’s not how fast we run the journey of life that counts, but how we run it. The object is to follow the Lord, who calls and guides us. The point is to live God’s way, trusting him with our destiny rather than charging ahead and doing life our own way.

We Have A Remedy 

When we read the list of kings in Matthew 1:11 it ends with Josiah, however he was not the last king of Judah -Zedekiah was. Perhaps Matthew ends his list of kings with Josiah because the Bible says, “He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.”  

Scripture says, though God persistently sent messengers and prophets to warn Zedekiah, he hardened his heart and would not turn to the Lord.

A Strong Mind

When I was a boy I was always very emotional. I would cry and sulk at the drop of a hat. I would refuse to do things because of how emotional I was. One thing that can lead you away from your potential and seeing the awesome plan God has for your life - is your emotions. Emotions are God-given, but too often, people allow their circumstances to dictate their emotions and thoughts, instead of the Wor

The Hard Truth 

I must tell you the hard truth: I am not naturally a very sad person. By genetics, chemical malfunction, and a history of some bad theology, I’ve really struggled with depression. I have sometimes met with counsellors, and I have sometimes used the medications they prescribed. 

I fully believe in Jesus, but I can relate too well to today’s verses. Though God has richly blessed me, on many

God Save Our Children Pt3 

As parents, we are not able to see everything, be everywhere, or know what all goes on each day in our children’s lives; but God can. He sees all, knows all and is there with them in every step they take. We can trust that God will take care of our children when they are at school and away from us. Our job as their parents is to have faith that God’s mighty

As parents, grandparents, mentors, and leaders, we have been given the incredible power to make a difference in the world through the lives of the children we love. And though many of us pray for our kids daily and strongly believe in the power of prayer, it's sometimes hard to know how to pray strategically, or even what exactly to pray for.

Crows at dusk gathering in the city before heading to their nightly roost.

I went out too late to feed my local #crows today. :( Usually they don't head to the #roost until it starts getting darker, and I could see them all over this morning out my office window, but I got caught on a long project and when I went out to leave them some kibble a bit ago none of them showed up. I have 15-20 regulars who haunt me every time I poke my head outside these days, so that was really unusual. #MissingMurder
