February 21 Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? — Job 38:4

All Truth is God's Truth

A well-known Florida state legislator once introduced a bill stating that creation should be taught in our public schools as one of the possible theories concerning the origin of man along with evolution. I was very interested in the outcries that appeared in the letters to the editor sections after that happened. One writer fulminated, "Why don't we just teach fairy tales, if we are going to teach creation?" Indeed, are they not... More

February 20 Then He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness. For a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." — Luke 12:15

"The Sin Supposedly No One Commits"

What is covetousness? It is the inordinate desire for the things of the world. The Bible tells us that we must, indeed, try to provide the things needed by our family. In fact, the Scripture says that if any man does not provide for his own household, he is worse than an infidel and has denied the faith. The Scripture also tells us to go to the ant that gathers in the summer to provide for the winter. But covetousness goes beyond providing... More

February 19 But my God shall supply your every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — Philippians 4:19

On Things Above

What does it mean to be content? According to Webster's it means: "Having the desires limited to that which one has; not disquieted or disturbed by desire, even though not every wish is gratified." There are two words that come from the same root; they are spelled exactly the same way. However, they mean altogether different things, and they are pronounced differently merely because of the accent. Con tent  is exactly the same word... More

February 18 Comfort, O comfort My people, says your God. — Isaiah 40:1

The God of All Comfort

The great preacher Dr. R. W. Dale said, "People need consolation. They really need it and not merely long for it." Another gentleman, Bill Elliot, says, "Christianity is a religion of comfort. Our God is not only 'the God of all grace,' He is also 'the God of all comfort.'" From the cradle, where a crying baby is picked up by loving arms, to the deathbed, where a cool hand is stroking a wrinkled cheek, comfort is crucial. Life is never easy... More

February 17 Now when the people complained openly before the LORD, the LORD heard, and His anger burned. — Numbers 11:1

I'm Not Complaining

We have a whole marketing industry that is based on discontent. From class warfare to envy and petty jealousy, the goal is to make people unhappy with what they have. It is so easy for us to complain, because there is always a "snake in paradise." As long as we live in this world, there will be trouble and imperfections, from bugs that ruin your picnic to life-threatening disease. God hates the discontented spirit, the murmurers. The Old...

February 16 Give us this day our daily bread. — Matthew 6:11

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme

It is often easy to make our prayers just one "Gimme, Gimme" after another. Give me good health. Give me a new car. Give me a new house. Give me a new spouse. Give me more money. Some people spend much of their time simply making demands of God, as if He were their personal genie. It is not wrong to ask God for what we need. The prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," encourages us to bring our supplications to Him. But there should... More

February 15 If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men. — Romans 12:18

Change Me, Lord

We see many conflicts taking place in marriages today. Some households are like mini-battlefields. It takes two to tangle, as well as to tango though, so we can forget about blaming our spouse. That never does anything but change things for the worse. I think of the innocent young thing who came into the pastor's office. She was weeping and telling of how miserable and horrible and mean her husband was. Then she said, wiping a tear from her... More
