We should be grateful for God's grace

As I get older, I seem to learn more lessons from the little. That's true in many areas of life, but especially in spiritual matters. Recently, I have learned a little more about what grace is. Last month, I put up three bird feeders in my backyard. I put out the first feeder, and I did not see a bird for two weeks. But then I noticed that it was empty. Something had eaten the ...

Making a family is long-term project

Family planning is a controversial topic that brings out strong feelings and visions. The family is a focal point of life that God has designed. That's why the Apostle Paul devoted so much space in Ephesians to the issues of married couples (5:22-33), kids (6:1-3) and fathers (6:4). If two people marry in their 20s and live into their 70s, that's a substantial marriage commitment and a long life together. One would never enter into ...

Follow God's way to go to Heaven

Do you understand that Jesus loves you? Yes, you - you are important to God. John wrote, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16 KJV). When someone truly loves another, they are willing to do things for that person. Jesus has done something for us (Philippians 2:5-11). Have you ever thought about what Jesus gave ...

Mothers are joys and privileges

Eight years ago this April, my mother passed away. It has been a while since that thought has caused me to burst out in tears, but it still fills me with deep sadness. I miss her terribly. I would give just about anything to be able to hear her deep Southern drawl on the telephone again.
