How Many Banks Do You Have to Rob?

I heard the other day that a man robbed a bank in Meridian. Maybe even the same guy robbed that same bank twice. It blows my mind that people in 2023 still try to rob banks because you never get away with that much money and the authorities almost always catch you. But regardless of…

Judging by Their Face

Do you strive to treat everybody the same? Whether they are rich or poor, educated or not, politically powerful or not, your skin color or not, American or not, fully able or not, beautiful or not, we should treat everybody with the full dignity and respect that they deserve as a human being, especially when…

The Most Spiritual Person

Who are the most religious and spiritual Christian people you know? That may be a tough question to answer because you can’t just listen for the person who is the most dynamic in prayer or look for the person who speaks the most about God or watch for the person who is the most exuberant…

The Tell-Tale Tongue

Jesus said that you would know people by their fruit. In other words, what comes out of them will indicate what is in them. If the godly fruit of good works habitually comes out of them, then we can suspect that God is in them and that they are saved. But if the ungodly fruit…

You’ve Been Commissioned

Good morning on this fine Wednesday! Have you looked at your calendar to see what’s on your agenda for today? If you are Christian, I know one thing that should be on there:  the Great Commission. Did you know that you have been commissioned? We read in Matthew 28 that after Jesus’ resurrection, He gathered…
