Matthew 25:20 What Are You Doing With Your Talents?

So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ Matthew 25:20 Every person is given things that one can use. These can be given freely, or they can be purchased by self. It is common for people to use what they have for themselves. Time, money and physical things are…

Saturday Before Good Friday: Ten Days That Changed the World

Yesterday, we began a day-by-day look at the Passion Week, so our “week” is actually ten days, starting BEFORE Palm Sunday… Here are some observations about the Saturday before Good Friday, which would have been eight days before Easter. It is a quiet Saturday, a sabbath, so there is no mention of any activity until we read John’s account  of Supper at Bethany. Eyewitness Account (John’s Gospel…

What the Nativity Event Teaches Us (Luke 2:1-20)

By Donald Whitchard Genesis 3:15, Numbers 24:17, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:1-20   Summary: The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of civilization.  It is also an illustration about the promises of God, our obedience of God, the accessibility to God, and the tragedy of rejecting God.   “AND it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar…

Isaiah 61: Year of the Jubilee

When Jesus began his ministry, it is the first two verses of this chapter that he read aloud in synagogue, saying "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." #Jubilee #Isaiah61 #YearofGodsFavor

Have any of you ever met a warrior?  There are many men and woman who really do have the “blood of justice on their garments,” soldiers, police officers, guards … warriors. Have ever had an opportunity to listen to their stories, what it took to fulfill their mission, the heartache, the strength and courage, to be the ones in front, protecting all the rest of us from evil? For the love of…

God literally has a sense of humor.

How do you think animals make us happy? He literally blessed us by creating animals!

Genesis 1:20-25 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

He purposely created them to be adorable, and to provide us with entertainment.

He creates personalities for animals like He does for us! He creates every animal to be so unique and special.

Matthew 6:26-34

"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Whenever you see a cat stuck in something,

or a duck quacking and drumming a drum with its feet,

or a dog playing piano,

GOD MADE THAT!!!

He perfectly intended for animals to be hilarious. He perfectly intended for animals to be adorable. God made animals to make us smile and laugh!!!

He made animals to make us happy!

So as well as turning to Him on our bad days and reading His word and coming to Him, He made animals to make our bad days better too!

Lots of people tend to forget about or not even think about that!

God is so good, more than we deserve. If God cares about the animals and takes care of them and creates them with personalities of their own and makes them unique, just how much more does He care about YOU?

Judgment Day for the Damned

This is a topic that many would rather not think about. To be honest, I’d rather not write about it; but to be thorough it is a topic that concerns existence after death about which the Bible speaks. Judgment Day for the damned is something that you will observe in part. Hopefully, because of the grace that comes through Jesus, it is not something that you will experience. Judgment Day as a…

Worst Trade Ever

We are a sports dominated culture like no culture before us. I include myself. A day isn’t complete for me in the Spring, Summer or Fall without an update on how the Phillies did. Ditto for the Fall and Winter in relation to the Philadelphia Eagles. Both those major sports sometime have so-called “Blockbuster Trades.” So maybe this metaphor makes sense to many. Here’s my version of the worst…
