“Whatever you do, DON’T read this before operating.” It would be crazy to have this in an instruction manual. But it wouldn’t matter as most people wouldn’t read the instructions anyway. If you’re like me, the instructions are the last thing I look at, and then only if I really have messed up and can’t… Continue reading Do NOT Read!
“He is totally ruined!” It’s terrible to see this happen, and even worse if it happens to us. But what can destroy us? Loss of money, career, health, family. But there is one item we would not usually include in the list of life destroyers, but God includes it. “My people are destroyed from lack… Continue reading Hos 6v3 – Ruined!
The Bible is the most hyperlinked book in existence. Although written over about 1500 years by 40 authors, it contains 63,779 explicit references where one verse directly points to another. This means that there are an almost infinite number of ways to explore the Bible story and its intricate and beautiful divine message. This is… Continue reading 2Ti 3v16 – Most hyperlinked book

I would certainly miss it if I could. It can sometimes be like this with God’s Word and us. We read God’s… Continue reading 1Jo 2v27 – My Teacher
“You’re wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.” These are not words most of us want to hear. In fact, most of us would be offended if we were spoken to like this. However, five times in Proverbs 15, we are told that it’s only a fool (15:5) or mockers (15:12) who won’t accept correction and that… Continue reading Pro 15v32 – You’re Wrong!
I remember learning to ski. After about a week of lessons, we could navigate most easy to intermediate slopes, with nominal skill and little style. Yet seeing small kids also learning with their awkward style and frequent falls made us feel like experts. That is until a week later those same small kids came flying… Continue reading Pro 1:7 – The first step
