Matthew 22:46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions. Being constantly asked questions can be a very uncomfortable situation. Most people don’t like being questioned, especially if those questions are personal or about our beliefs. I can’t imagine being aContinue reading “Come On, Man – Matthew 22:46”

Clear Conscience
1 Corinthians 4:4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. How many times have I heard after someone has walked right into sin, “My conscience is clear.” They choose an affair rather than fidelity to their spouse, saying their spouse just didn’t love themContinue reading “Clear Conscience”
Selective Hypocrisy – Matthew 27:6
Matthew 27:6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasure, since it is blood money.” I am amazed at the level of hypocrisy that is on display today in our world. Leading government officials seem to live under a different set of rulesContinue reading “Selective Hypocrisy – Matthew 27:6”
Traitors Within
2 Chronicles 24:26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith a Moabite woman. It has been interesting to see the level of political betrayal that has happened in the last few years. And there is no shame involved in stabbing your boss in theContinue reading “Traitors Within”
Wisdom & Stuff
2 Chronicles 9:22-23 King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. 23 All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. Some people seem to rise to the top of their professions or their areas ofContinue reading “Wisdom & Stuff”
Suicide?
1 Chronicles 10:4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me.” But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. One of the most difficult events in life to deal with isContinue reading “Suicide?”
Leadership Models
Proverbs 28:2 When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order. When I read this Proverb this morning, I was struck with the applicability to Seattle, Washington where anarchists have seized the city center and banned the police. The riots and destruction across our country andContinue reading “Leadership Models”
Designed to Question
Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. God made us with minds that question. We naturally look at things we don’t understand or know and ask questions. Ask the parents of any three year old on the planet! Questions, questionsContinue reading “Designed to Question”
Read’n, Rit’n & Rithmatic
Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing”? Sometimes we take reading and writing for granted. We do isContinue reading “Read’n, Rit’n & Rithmatic”
High Price of Leadership
1 Kings 22:14 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.” Leadership has its advantages! But there is also a great price attached to leadership. When a leader stops leading or starts leading down the wrong path, the consequences are grave. People need godlyContinue reading “High Price of Leadership”
