Be Generous (Mark 12:41-44)
If there’s a litmus test of one’s true benevolence and spirituality, it’s how money is handled and/or mishandled.
The Widow’s Mite by James Christensen Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you; this poor widow has put more into the…

Giving That Gives Back
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭8‬ Have you ever been in a situation where you had an opportunity to give but just didn’t do it? You were asked to donate to a worthy cause and while you could afford it, just didn’t do it? You were asked to help with a church or community…

God Wants You To Be Prosperous
My message today is that God wants you to be prosperous in every area of your life, including financially. The Bible is full of verses that support this belief. In Deuteronomy 8:18, it says, “The Lord your God will bless you abundantly in the land he is giving you to possess, so that you will have all you need, and your barns will be full, and your vats will overflow with wine and oil.”I know…

Stinginess Doesn't Pay
They were coming. We had to prepare. Our oldest grandson is coming home for spring break–and he’s bringing thirteen of his closest friends with him. When you go to school in northern Indiana, the warmth of Florida in March is inviting. We’re thrilled to have them come; our home was built to house our six kids, so we’ve had opportunities to be hospitable to large groups. John and I are both…

Generosity and Thanksgiving (2 Corinthians 9:6-15)
Those who have small hearts will only realize small blessings. But those who plant many seeds of generosity and gratitude will see abundant blessings.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As…

It’s All About Me!
I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭33‬ It’s all about me. That seems to be the mantra our culture lives under. Yet Living for Christ means that I live for others. When you are watching TV and the accompanying commercials, take a look at how many times you can say…

The Kindness of Strangers
The Kindness of Strangers A few days ago I was visiting an old colleague at Walmart. I wasn’t going to go originally but while I was in Hawaii I got a gift for them. After walking around the store for a while we went out to the parking lot. I wasn’t in the parking lot for more then just a few minutes when a truck pulls up. The man inside grabs my attention and asks me to come over to the vehicle.…

PRODIGAL MERCY by Dominic Ayegba Okoliko
PRODIGAL MERCY by Dominic Ayegba Okoliko
The preacher once told a story Pretty much about our affairs so gory It’s the tale of a prodigal son But isn’t it also of the prodigality Of the father’s generosity? For which father would stand a son Poking him in the eyes While his sun still shines in the sky? Or, which man would bless a child Who intends to pour him sand While he still stands? Prodigal! This father is even more While the son…

God’s Somebody!
Tumblr media
Several years ago, an awesome and astute observation caught my attention and it has remained with me ever since. As soon as I heard those special words, I jotted them down on a Post-it Note. I stuck that bit of paper to the bottom of my desktop monitor screen because I wanted to be reminded of that morsel of wisdom every day. When this reminder lost its ability to stick, I printed the words on a…

IN TOUCH DAILY: JULY 5
  Sunday Reflection: The Gift of Seeing God
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.
Throughout Scripture, we find examples of people who longed to encounter God. Moses sought His glory (Ex. 33:18). David asked to meet Him in person (Psalm 27:7-9). And Job directly experienced Him—resulting in humble repentance (Psalm 42:4-5). The stories…

Sirach 24:12-14: Taking Root Cedars of Lebanon Saturday, September 2, 2017 In the book of Sirach we find practical wisdom that opens God’s heart and mind to us.

I struck root among the glorious people,     in the…
