One of the things we rely on with our memory is for it to remember the days long ago. We like to reminisce and remember the good days. We remember loved ones who are no longer with us. We remember our childhood and all its glory. It is why diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia areContinue reading “Remember Long Ago”

Remembering 101
What does it mean to remember? Its basic definition is “to bring to mind or think of again” or “to retain in the memory.” When we remember something we are calling something back from our memory. We are moving something forward that we’ve placed behind. We are taking something from the back burner and placing it on the front hot burner. Why do you remember?Continue reading “Remembering 101”
Fear is the Beginning
Last time we explored one of the negative sides of fear. Earthly fear is a trap to get us to stop trusting in God. But not all fear is negative. Some fear is not only necessary but actually good. David and Solomon teach us about a fear that is both necessary and good and thatContinue reading “Fear is the Beginning”

Spiritual Laborers
For the first half of this month, we’ve examined the importance and value of work. God gave man work, expects man to work, and wants man to benefit from their labor. But as with all things, God uses physical concepts to help us understand spiritual lessons. It is no different from the idea of workContinue reading “Spiritual Laborers”

Generally, teachers create assignments and then instruct students on how to complete them. Assignments and activities go better when the creatorContinue reading “The Mighty Creator”

Meeting the teacher is really important. Now, I know I’m biased when it comes to teachers. (I come from a long line of teachersContinue reading “The Master Teacher”
The Mountain of Suffering & Sacrifice
No one knows exactly the hill that Jesus was crucified. We do know that it was on a hill outside of the city walls of Jerusalem. The hill was called “Golgotha” or the Place of the Skull because the rock formation looked like a skull. Nevertheless, a small mountain or hill was a part ofContinue reading “The Mountain of Suffering & Sacrifice”
The Mountain of Prayer
Repeatedly in the Gospels, Jesus went to the mountains to pray. Isolating Himself, Jesus spent time in those mountains focusing solely on His communication with God. And after Jesus had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…(Matt. 14:23) There is no better example ofContinue reading “The Mountain of Prayer”
Fire in the Cloud
When the children of Israel finally completed constructing the Tabernacle, the glory of God came and filled the Tabernacle. As long as the cloud during the day and the fire at night were present, so was God. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would setContinue reading “Fire in the Cloud”
