February 4th, 2011
Over the last several years I must confess that the car I drive has “reminder license plates” attached to them. Most people refer to them as vanity plates, but for me I choose to utilize them as reminders. The first time I bought a pair of reminder plates was in 1998. The plates simply read [...]

“Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

Jeremiah 17:5-8, “This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places [...]
Character
January 14th, 2011
Proverbs 10:9, “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.” Character and/or integrity is something we all have and is molded and shaped throughout life.

Proverbs 12
January 12th, 2011
Proverb 12:1 “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” (NIV) Solomon sure had a way with words. How is your discipline and knowledge these days?
