3:264 – God On The Lips, Hate In The Heart #faithbites #faithjourney lips Setting The word of God is powerful. It strengthens, empowers, and keeps us. His word promises salvation. There are those who use scripture to tear down rather than build up. False prophets who will pick and chose scripture to hurt rather than looking at the whole message […]
3:263 – Pain is Temporary, Memories Last Forever #faithbites #faithjourney temporary Today, we were enjoying the fall weather at Rader Farms. My youngest was playing in the sand pit by herself and was a bit lonely. I got down on my knees and started playing with her. After we were done, I got up slowly and painfully. (It’s been a […]
3:262 – The Waiting Game #faithbites #faithjourney waiting Setting This week we had a leak in our kitchen that went into our bedroom. For the past 48 hours, we’ve had these giant fans going. I’ve been waiting. Waiting for quiet. The bedroom fan is now off but the kitchen is still on, so we wait for quiet. I was thinking […]
3:261 – I Don’t Understand #faithbites #faithjourney understand There are many things in life I don’t understand. For instance, I was facilitating a case on women’s health for work. I don’t know what it’s like to be a woman. I can’t relate. Likewise, I don’t know what it’s like to be black on America. The only thing I do understand […]
3:259 – BEING Naked Before God #faithbites #faithjourney naked #BEINGChallenge Setting I got out of the shower this morning and looked at my clothes on the bed. Underwear, shorts, undershirt, shirt. If it was colder there would have been socks and a jacket. So many different items to wear so that I’m not naked. And I’m not even counting a […]
3:256 – Walking In The Rain #faithnites #faithjourney walking Setting This morning was our planned prayer walk at church. It’s quite simple. A few people go walking through the neighborbood, observing what they can to determine the needs of the neighborhood, praying for the neighbors, greeting people they see, and if they are amenable to it, praying with them. It’s […]
3:255 – God’s Voice #faithbites #faithjourney voice Have you ever been going about your business and a specific song came into your head? Maybe you were taking a shower and a thought or prayer came to you? Maybe you were about to make a decision or take action and you got butterflies or a pit in your stomach. Have you […]
3:252 – Intolerance #faithbites #faithjourney intolerance Setting Yesterday in a heated debate, I, along with my friends, was called intolerant. That being tolerant means accepting all beliefs and all opinions. I wanted to dive a bit deeper into what intolerance means and how we, as children of God, should behave? Intolerance is defined as “unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or […]
3:251 – Bearing False Witness #faithbites #faithjourney false Setting I was debating politics with someone, and they brought up how can we as Christian men, bear false witness. It is a concept I was only marginally familiar with, so I figured we could all learn together. We throw around so many terms and ideas, it’s important to understand what they […]
3:249 – I Can’t Paint, But I Keep Trying #faithbites #faithjourney paint Setting I am not a good painter. It doesn’t matter if it’s walls or pictures or miniatures. It’s just not a gift I have. But I keep trying. Today, I tried to paint a part for my printer. I thought it would be easy but a kindergartener could […]
