Busybodies and Busy Tongues

Gossip is verbal interest in the failings of others rather than their feelings.

Reaffirming Love

It is possible to look beyond what people are and have done, and love them for what they can be.

Cutting Throats with Whisperings

For what comfort it can give us, even Jesus was maligned. He was accused of keeping bad company, gluttony and drunkenness, blasphemy, being possessed, breaking the Sabbath, and treason. We are in the best company possible when we are falsely accused!

Purpose in Life

I think we all need to focus on a purpose in life. It saddens me deeply to see the way some of our young people are being wasted. They are told they have evolved from slime, so why should they feel good about themselves? Why should they feel they are responsible for their own actions, if those actions are predetermined by a genetic makeup over which they have no control?

God Waits, Also

We waste much time waiting for signs and wonders.

David Cuts a Corner

Saul committed outrages against David but David knew that was no excuse to retaliate. Instead, David overcame evil with good (Romans 12:21).

From Destitution to Restitution

It is our very emptiness which recommends us. Our destitution is His restitution.

Frittering

Contrary to common opinion, privilege doesn't have ranks, whether it is physical, mental, or spiritual privilege; rather, it has responsibilities.

The Business of Inspiration

Take a moment and read about one woman's journey to healing and her inspiration to begin her own business.

Alone--But Not Lonely

Have you felt that somehow you were nameless and faceless to others? We can feel left out and lonely when being passed over for a promotion, or a raise or rejected by a loved one. You might have felt it when a close friend or partner ignored your feelings. Or you might have felt it in a relationship when something important to you was dismissed as insignificant.

Free Gold

Simon the magician thought he could buy religion, much like we think we can buy happiness. His mind-set couldn't comprehend that both religion and happiness are byproducts of a greater search for God Himself.

Here I Am!

With some of us Jesus must knock loudly and repeatedly through what we perceive as sorrows. When He finally gets our attention and we open the door that was once closed through ignorance and indifference, then He brings to our hearts and houses His feast of love and pleasant communion.

He Walks and He Talks With Us

Jesus quietly entered into their discouraged lives and conversation and comforted them. None can dare say or think that Jesus doesn't care about the pedestrian person! Love, with pierced feet, walks ahead to give all hope.

God Has a Plan

All Joseph did that fateful day was set out to find out how his brothers were. In a matter of minutes his whole life was changed.

Charity - Incognito

The best kind of charity is given with no reward to the giver, save for the good feeling knowing he/she is helping the less fortunate. Take a look at this enlightening article for a heartwarming true story about Christmas donations given through Salvation Army bell ringers.
