Live With Kindness!
Posted on March 19, 2026 Leave a Comment
March 19, 2026 Live With Kindness! Our world seems a little short on kindness right now. The rhetoric on all fronts seems to be more antagonistic than humble, more aggressive than patient, more destructive than constructive, more uncompromising than seeking understanding, more vicious than merciful, more heartless than kind. You can see the lack of […]

March 12, 2026 Live Without Vengeance! It is easy to judge other people. Maybe they don’t live up to your standards or violate your values or reject the claims of your faith. Maybe they hurt you or betrayed you or were dishonest with you. Maybe they cheated you or abandoned you or divorced you. It […]

March 10, 2026 Scripture “Better is a little that the righteous person has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.” Psalm 37:16-17 Possessions! Sometimes our things begin to have a higher priority in our life than is healthy. In a like manner, sometimes […]
Live In Peace!

March 5, 2026 Live In Peace! Most of us define “peace” in a way that matches our values, our life-style, and our spirituality. If someone or something comes along that challenges our definition of peace, we rationalize our perspective and dismiss the other person’s understanding. Peace is more than the absence of war. Or on […]

February 26, 2026 Live Without Keeping Accounts! Keeping score does not work in relationships with family, friends, or co-workers. And yet, many people are intent on keeping track of both the good things that pass between the two of you as well as the hurtful things. They treat relationships with people like a ledger or […]

Live With A Humble Heart!

February 19, 2026 Live With A Humble Heart! When I watch the news, I don’t see very many people with humble hearts. Too often, I see puffed up people who appear to believe more in their status or their power or their influence than they do in things like peace or love or joy. A […]
Live In Harmony!

February 18, 2026 Live In Harmony! I wonder what impact it would have on our world if every Christ-follower would devote the 40 days of Lent (starting today on Ash Wednesday) to living in harmony. I am not talking about just getting along with other people. Instead, I am talking about living in the kind […]
