Guard your Mind
As Christians we need to guard our minds. You might ask, what am I talking about? In 1st Peter, it tells us to be alert and sober minded because the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” We have an enemy that would love to weaken us and destroy our Faith. Satan would like to destroy our witness for Christ, destroy our

Soaring like an Eagle
The American Bald Eagle is the symbol for our country. Terri and I have seen a couple of eagles while out hiking in the Rockies. We were able to see one of them circle along Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park as the wind carried it then it perched on a tree. I was able to get a camera lens on it. For those who worked with me, you remember my icon on skype at work was the American Bald Eagle. In Isaiah 40 it talks about us soaring like eagles when we put our trust in the

“What does it mean to be Saved? in Chinese”
翻译成中文是: “得救意味着什么?” 如果是在基督教语境中,这个问题通常指: “得救”:指人通过对耶稣基督的信仰,罪得到赦免,与上帝恢复关系,并获得永生。 因此整句话的意思是:“成为得救的人意味着什么?” 或 “得救的含义是什么?” 更完整一点的中文表达也可以是: “得救是什么意思?” “什么叫做得救?” 如果你愿意,我也可以解释一下基督教里“得救”通常包括哪些含义 《使徒行传》16:30–31(NIV)中文翻译 30 随后他领他们出来,说:“两位先生,我当怎样行才可以得救?” 31 他们回答说:“当信主耶稣,你和你一家都必得救。” 这正是腓立比的狱卒在意识到保罗和西拉没有在地震震开锁链后逃走时所问的问题。当时地震使他们的锁链松开,监狱也被震动。狱卒以为囚犯都逃跑了,准备自杀。按照当时的法律,如果狱卒让囚犯逃走,他就要被处死。 保罗大声呼喊告诉他,他们仍然都在。于是狱卒俯伏在保罗面前,问道:“两位先生,我当怎样行才可以得救?” 保罗的回答记载在**《使徒行传》16:31**: “当信主耶稣,你和你一家都必得救。” 那么,“得救”是什么意思呢? 我

“What does it mean to be Saved? in Russian”
Что значит быть спасённым? Деяния 16:30–31 (NIV) — перевод на русский 30 Затем он вывел их и спросил: «Господа, что мне делать, чтобы спастись?»31 Они ответили: «Веруй в Господа Иисуса, и спасёшься — ты и весь твой дом». Это был вопрос, который задал филиппийский тюремщик, когда понял, что Павел и Сила не убежали из своей камеры после того, как землетрясение освободило их от уз. Тюремщик был готов покончить с собой, думая, что заключённые сбежали. Закон требовал, чтобы тюремщ

“What does it mean to be Saved? In Bengali
এর বাংলা অনুবাদ: “রক্ষা পাওয়া বলতে কী বোঝায়?”অথবা“পরিত্রাণ পাওয়া বলতে কী বোঝায়?” দুটোই সঠিক, তবে ধর্মীয় প্রসঙ্গে (বিশেষ করে খ্রিস্টধর্মে) সাধারণত “পরিত্রাণ পাওয়া বলতে কী বোঝায়?” বেশি ব্যবহার করা হয়। প্রেরিত ১৬:৩০–৩১ (NIV) — বাংলা অনুবাদ ৩০ তারপর তিনি তাদের বাইরে নিয়ে এসে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, “মহাশয়গণ, পরিত্রাণ পাওয়ার জন্য আমাকে কী করতে হবে?” ৩১ তারা উত্তর দিলেন, “প্রভু যীশুর ওপর বিশ্বাস কর, তাহলেই তুমি পরিত্রাণ পাবে—তুমি এবং তোমার গৃহের লোকেরা।” এটি ছিল ফিলিপ্পীর কারারক

Still Waters
Life can keep us busy and seem like we are bounced around from one problem to another. The burden can seem like we are carrying a heavy load, and it can weigh us down. Before you know it, our joy can be gone. Every phase of life has its own burden. I can remember talking with my mother, she would tell me getting older isn’t what it is cracked up to be. During the work years, it can be tough working and then trying to raise a family. Now COVID has brought a whole new set of b

Moments that are Priceless
I am getting my Papa hat ready to go. We are getting ready to go see the grandkids. There is an inner joy and peace watching my little grandkids play. Ages eleven, seven and three are great ages, well I guess any age is great when you talk about grandkids. I love watching their little minds think and learn things. I don’t need TV, don’t need the news, contentment is enjoying my grandkids company. I thank God every day that my grandchildren are growing up in a loving home wher

“What does it mean to be Saved?”
Acts 16:30-31 (NIV) 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” This was the question asked by the Philippian jailor when he realized that Paul and Silas had not escaped from their prison cell after a earthquake broke them loose from their bonds. The jailor was ready to take his own life, thinking the prisoners had fled. Law demanded that a jailor who los

“Ups and Downs of David”
Acts 13:22 (NIV) 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do. One of the heroes of the Bible is David. He earned the title of a man after God’s own heart. This is because he had a deep desire to follow God’s will and do “everything” God wanted him to do. He was a man after God’s own heart. David had his ups and downs in life. He had victories

“Success In Life”
That is a tough one. How do we define a successful life? Each one of us has a different view of success. The question is how our success aligns with God’s idea of success. The world values wealth, strength, beauty, health, prestige, popularity, and few other things that don’t necessarily align with God’s view of success. We can get caught up with how the world measures success. We often define success; measured by our achievements, accomplishments, or talents. This often tra

“Having Confidence in God”
We often put value on wealth, education, and reputation. A lot of times we put our self-esteem on how we look; what we have; or how popular we are. This is great for marketing things, but it doesn’t align with how God views things. In Proverbs 3:26 (ESV) for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. When we put our confidence in God and seek Him for guidance in life, we will find many good things. Wisdom -- in Proverbs 3:35 The wise inherit h

“Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love”
There is nothing that can separate us from God’s love. We are all in different stages of life. The Lord loves and watches out for us no matter where we are in our life’s journey. I have seen the Lord watch over me throughout my life. I have also seen the Lord watch over my parents on the last day of their lives here on earth. One of God’s promises that He gives us is that He will always be with us. Once we accept the Lord Jesus as our Lord and Savior there is nothing that wi

Don’t Miss an Opportunity to be Used by God
Last year, Terri and I were camping in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and had just finished riding our bikes on a Mountain Bike Trail. We had just put our bikes on the truck and were getting ready to pull out of the parking area when a lady with a mask came running up to us waving her hands. My first thought was that the lady was wanting to sell us something, but I reluctantly rolled down the window. Boy was I wrong. Sometimes God puts us in a place to help someone and we think

“Be an Encourager”
Jesus instructs us to love one another. A great way to show fellow Christians God’s Love is for us to be encouragers. There have been times in our travels when we have been away from the daily news for a few days. When we get a chance to catch up with what is going on in our world it can be disappointing and a little depressing. However, there are many things going on in peoples’ lives that can cause people to fret. Health, loneliness, conflict, loss of a loved one, employm

“Use the Talents God has Given You”
1 Peter 4:10 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Your talents, resources, and opportunities are all gifts of God. Do we use the talents God have given us in the world we live in? We study all kind of God’s lessons on practical ways to use our talents in the world we live in. Do we take what we learn in church outside of the walls of the church? It would be a shame if all the great

2 Peter 3:18 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. To grow as a Christian and as working citizens we need both knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is found in studying textbooks. Wisdom is found in God’s Holy Word, in sermons, in loving words from family and friends. In a career you are constantly having to learn new things and practices to be an asset for the companies you work for. Knowledge pays

As a believer it is our goal to become more Christ life in our Christian Walk. Jesus was a great example for us to follow. One of the examples of showing we love God is by keeping His commandment to serve one another. We have so many opportunities to serve others in our daily lives. Do you know a family

“Believers Come in All Types”
In some ways Jesus and John the Baptist seemed so different. John with his wild look and different diet. Jesus appears to have grown up like a regular Jewish child and He had a steady profession as a carpenter. Yet they had one thing in common. They were both part of God’s plan for mankind. Both were so different, yet they both wanted to be obedient to the Father in Heaven. We are very similar to that today. Believers are made up of all types of people with different likes an
