Today’s Walk in the Word

No one comes to the Father except through me.     —John 14:6 Some think a Christian is someone who believes certain things: inspiration of Scripture, virgin birth, resurrection. Some think a Christian is someone who does certain things: goes to church, gets baptized, takes communion. Some think a Christian is just a nice guy, […]

Let us examine our ways and test them.                 —Lamentations 3:40 When you look in the mirror, what do you see that you like? And what stares back at you that makes you squirm? Of all the things you’ve done in your life, what is the one you’re […]

We have this hope as an anchor … firm and secure.       —Hebrews 6:19 There are times when all is well in your world. Health is shipshape. Job is secure. Family is happy. But you live next door to a world where all is not well. An accident has turned the life of […]

He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.           —Matthew 12:58 Have you tied Jesus’ hands; prevented him from doing great things in you and through you because of anemic faith? Are you less than bold in prayer, thinking he won’t—or can’t—answer? Are you praying timidly, […]

Because I live, you also will live.                —John 14:19 Woody Allen said, “I’m not afraid of death; I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” For many, the thought of death is a terrifying. Heb. 2:15 points a bony finger at “those who all their lives […]

The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.      —Romans 6:23 Life is tough. To survive it you have to grit your teeth and clench your fists. But you can do it. Yes sireee. You can do anything you set your mind to do, get anything you set your mind […]

What I want is not your possessions but you.                        —2 Corinthians 12:14 The gifts the Magi brought to Bethlehem’s manger were pricey but not practical—not baby-shower stuff. Practical gifts would have been booties and baby wash, diaper bags and strollers, teething rings and pacifiers. […]

Remember not the sins of my youth … according to your love remember me.                                 —Psalm 25:7 How you are remembered will be your legacy … You will be remembered for your attitude, positive or negative: for your kudos … […]

My peace I give you.     —John 14:27 You will go to your grave with some problems unresolved: family fractures unhealed; words spoken in heat and haste uncorrected; broken friendships unappeased; dreams unrealized.
