About This Blog...

I wanted to take a break from Ephesians 3:20 and start a new topic.  We will revisit Ephesians, but I want to keep the blog new and interesting, too.

There is a gentleman at my church that I look up to as an outstanding man of God.  When he has the opportunity to speak, he does so with “the big picture” in mind.  He knows that his life on this earth is short compared to eternity and that we must make the most of our time for kingdom work.  This person loves his family very much and talks often on how he has had intentional conversations with his children and grandchildren in shaping their lives for our Lord.  My hope is that we can all be that example in our own families.

One of the ways he imparts knowledge to others is by teaching character studies through zeroing in on a particular action or character trait that gives us some insight into someone in Bible.  We can take these examples of character from the Bible and use them in our own lives as building blocks on the foundation of Jesus Christ our Lord!

Your perspective

Hannah is one of my favorite people in the Bible.  Since Michael and I experienced infertility for about two years, I became very well acquainted with this woman of God in the Bible.  God has used her story to encourage me in many ways. We know that Hannah was barren, and […] [READ MORE]

God sees you differently
December 13, 2012

As we continue with our walk through the Bible, we are going to stick with the topic of character.  Sometimes doubt and worry can affect the way we see ourselves, and this is exactly what happened to one of Israel’s brave leaders. Let me set the stage for you.  Joshua led […] [READ MORE]

Girl Power
October 1, 2012

In the last blog, we studied Ehud and how God has made us all different and for a different purpose.   After Ehud died, the Bible says that Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord.  To this point, the Bible has only spoken of three judges, but the behavior […] [READ MORE]

Different
September 6, 2012

God has made us all different!  Every one of us has different talents and abilities.  God uses those talents and abilities to fulfill His will.  If we were all alike, we would not be nearly as effective.   I remember a friend that I have that witnessed one time to a […] [READ MORE]

Integrity, do you have it?
August 20, 2012

Integrity is defined as “adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.” Even though we are taking a break from Ephesians 3:20, I wanted to continue on with Joshua and the children of Israel. After the Israelites crossed the Jordan, the city of Jericho and Ai stood in Israelrsquo;s […] [READ MORE]
