It is the weekend of Thanksgiving…how thankful am I? I just read the account of the suffering servant found in Isaiah 53, which gives me ample reason to be thankful. I would encourage you to read the whole chapter, but here is just one verse: When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, …

I was in scouting when I was a kid, maybe through the six grade.  I don’t remember much about scouting, but I do remember the motto: “Be Prepared”.  That very much sums up my personality.  I like to be prepared.  In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I like to prepare for …

Here’s another example. Imagine if your day looked like this: And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.

I’m an American Idol fan.  There…I said it.  Of the two guys left, I’m definitely a Kris Allen fan.  I became a fan when he sang “To Make You Feel My Love” by Garth Brooks several weeks ago.  Now, I now this isn’t Scripture by any means, but when I originally heard it, it reminded …

I am not a student of Hebrew (yet), but I do love digging into the words that lie underneath our modern translations of God’s Word.  I ran into one of those words lately while reading through 1 Samuel.  This is the section where Jonathan, Saul’s son, promises to do what he can to determine whether …

I found this post elsewhere, and thought it might be good for those of us that wish we read more.  We’ll be posting a list of great books to read in the coming weeks…look for it!  Meanwhile, I’d be interested in your comments on what  and how you read.  10 Tips to Read More and Read …
