It is always precious to read God’s Word. I especially love when I see myself mentioned in Scripture, though. I certainly sit up and take note! For instance, I get goosebumps when I hear Jesus pray for me specifically. When He met with his disciples on the evening before His death, He first prayed for [...]
Worship Acceptable to God
August 12, 2011 by 2 Comments
Today’s long post is part of our series on teaching character to children. Next week I’ll show why understanding worship is essential to teaching character. ~Anne I used to believe that worship was praise, singing, thinking about God and His attributes, sitting quietly and revering Him. Worship was communing with God, sitting alone in His [...]
My Heavenly Citizenship (Hebrews 11:1-16)
June 10, 2011 by 4 Comments
All my life I’ve been taught the importance of American citizenship. As I’ve been reading my Bible, though, I’m discovering that I’m much more than a citizen of the United States. I’m a citizen of heaven, of God’s eternal kingdom! I can’t see God’s kingdom. “Now faith is being sure of what we hope [...]

I never dreamed how many topics could come out of one little Bible passage, but this week’s certainly had a lot of them! I wasn’t sure what to write about. Too many good possibilities here! But I’m going to try to be as practical as possible. (If you want some of the deeper topics, just [...]
God Will Judge (Hebrews 13:4)

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4, KJV). It seems so gloomy to think about a day coming when I will stand before God to be judged. Thoughts like these don’t pass through my mind on a normal day, when I’d rather be planning [...]
Since We’re Receiving a Kingdom… (Hebrews 12:28-13:3)

Last week we talked about how the kingdom of God operates on faith. We can’t see this amazing kingdom we’re receiving, but we walk by faith, seeing the unseen, living our lives as if we really believe what we say we believe. The author of Hebrews has been giving us lots of principles, but now [...]
