A lot of people, especially young people, have dreams and aspirations to be famous one day. Some of them are rather ambitious and concoct a plan to climb to the top of whatever they are pursuing. They plot and scheme and claw their way to where they want to go and don’t really care who…
I’m kind of a gameshow junkie, and one of my favorites over the years has been “Family Feud.” That show is a lot of fun! Each round begins with a face-off where a person from each family walks up to the table with buzzers. The host reads the question, and the first person to hit…
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it, and they are safe. I love that song! Did you know that it comes straight from the Bible, Proverbs 18:10? Doesn’t the Bible make for the best worship lyrics? I love singing God’s words back to Him. Beloved, our God is…
Somebody once said, “Opinions are like armpits. Everybody has them, and most of them stink.” Well, our day and age has no shortage of opinions. Open up your social media, opinions are everywhere. Turn on the radio, more opinions. Sportstalk, political talk, news commentary. Turn on the TV, more opinions still. Apparently, people don’t want…
We’ve all had that moment when we’ve been in a group and wanted to look really smart and wise. And so, we decided to show just how smart and wise we are by opening our mouths and speaking. But, to our great dismay, we instead looked really dumb and foolish. That’s the chance we take…

One of the toughest things in life is having to deal with a fool. It’s no fun at all. In fact, it can be dangerous even. Proverbs 17:12 says, “Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly.” Listen, there aren’t many things in this world more…
If we list mankind’s favorite sins, gossip must be near the top. People love to gossip. When they hear some juicy news about somebody, they often can’t wait to share it. But today’s word of wisdom causes us to think again. Proverbs 17:9 says, “Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a…
It doesn’t take a breaking news headline on your favorite news station to learn that people can be so mean. They name-call, mock, and laugh at other’s pain. They respond with sarcasm, berate people, and yell. They exclude, manipulate, bully, and destroy. They troll, harass, attack, and abuse. We could go on, couldn’t we? But…
