“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” — Colossians 4:5–6 Some time ago, I found myself stuck in a small Inuit (Eskimo) community in the Canadian Arctic, where the temperature […]
In chapter four, we identified diligence as one of the covenant responsibilities you must embrace if you aspire to succeed in life. We will delve deeper into this subject in this chapter.

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Ephesians 4:29 Since the age of 9, my son Danny has been playing golf with my husband Dave and me. Although a good player […]

“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” Romans 12:11 An object will remain at rest or maintain a uniform acceleration unless an external force acts upon it.

Today’s Bible reading doesn’t tell us that a man should first put his house in order before taking a leadership position in the ministry. As far as God is concerned, your home should […]
The Lord is worthy of praise, and all the universe praises Him (Psalms 150:1, 6).
