Proverbs 17.22 Scripture is filled with admonition to give thanks to the Lord.  Our Proverb suggests that being thankful is like medicine, bringing healing to the body, mind and spirit.  One of the sins against God is an unthankful heart.  Our thanksgiving should engage our whole being.  In addition, Psalm 100 shows us that thanksgiving should be vocal, volitional, voluntary, venerable, and with variety.  What are you thankful for today?

Proverbs 28.1 There are billions of people spread out across this planet we call earth.  Everyone who has or ever will live will be in one of two groups.  Our passage speaks about a group called the wicked and a second group called the righteous.  Just who are they and how do they end up in either one of those two groups?

II Chronicles 20.1-30 – With every event that unfolds, even the one’s that we hoped had a different outcome, what does the Bible have to say?  Can we find any comfort that will help us in uncertain days?  The passage is a profound declaration of the sovereignty of God and for His powerful intervention.

Proverbs 15:8, 29 Scripture gives us a command to pray for our government leaders.  What prayer does the Lord hear in that regard?  He hears the prayer of the righteous.  When we pray for them there are certain things we should pray about as they lead.  Check out the message and then pray earnestly and fervently for God to heal our land.

audio/mp3 – I John 2:28 – Josh Harney fills the pulpit for Pastor Howie with a message encouraging us to consider what it is to abide in Christ all the time, so that wherever we are or whatever we are doing or whom ever we are with, we will not be ashamed at the appearing of Christ.

audio/mp3 – God’s Side or the Other Side.  Just the title alone is a compelling question to consider.  The story taken from Luke 10 asks us to consider of the three travelers that day, who was on God’s side and who was on the other side.  We are then left with a choice ourselves.  Which side of the road do we travel?

Psalm 31.15 Surgery. Illness. Unemployment. Overtime. The list can go on and on.  The point from the passage and our daily events is that ALL “My times are in Your hands.”  Does that bring comfort to you?  It should.  WIth it we can have the confidence that what is happening to me today, this moment is part of God’s plan to work in me His way and His will.  God has a plan for each of us that is personal, peaceful, present, protective, perfect, and powerful.  At the beginning, during and at the end of the day it reminds me that Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

Proverbs 8.13 – I find in Scripture that there are two reasons amond many for which we are to fear the Lord.  We are to fear Him because He is holy.  Wtihout His holiness we could not see Him.  The second reason we are to fear Him is becuase of His Sovereignty.  With that we are to bow in worship and praise and strive to be holy in our conduct as well.  This passage provides a compelling challenge to be like Him.

Proverbs 22.29 to 23.5 Have you thought much about what you do?  Have you ever thought that what you do is supposed to bring God glory?  Whether work, chores, or hobbies, everything we do should be done in such a way that it glorifies God.  Rather than looking at work as how it benefits me ask how it is a service to God or to others.  If all we do is done for as if we are doing it for God then when won’t chase after it like chasing a swift eagle, it will be seen by others who will give God glory.  Are you living for self or living for God?  It’s evident in how you work.
