I just learned that there is a plant that grows alongside wheat, looks almost like wheat but is deadly poisonous. Check it out. Did you know that wheat had a twin? Because I certainly didn’t. It’s amazing all that we can learn from reading the Bible. I am learning that one of the best ways to interpret scripture is to consider…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about holding a grudge, it doesn’t make things better and it can do emotional damage to the one holding it. I was reminded of this fact when I listened to today’s devo from the Life 101.9 Life group. Turn up your volume and check it out. Maybe we’re physically distant…

There is a movie that I watched a few months ago and I am actually watching it again during these strange days we find ourselves in. You need to know that I almost never watch a movie a second time.

If you’re like me, you may be wondering what you’re going to do with yourself these next few weeks.

A wise sage once quipped, “If you think you have all the answers, you haven’t heard all the questions.” I think there is great wisdom in that statement. In fact, I would go so far as to say that God has orchestrated a life that poses questions to which there are no easy answers. It makes me wonder if he does this so that…

As I write this post, a young mother and friend of mine suffers in the hospital and may be losing a very long battle with breast cancer. She is a model citizen of the Kingdom of God; a true saint in every sense of the word. Her family clings to hope that she’ll recover, but at the moment it doesn’t look good. Why is this happening?…
