A Timeless Gift
Bible Reading Today: 1 Kings 3-4, 2 Chronicles 1, Psalm 72
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 1 Kings 3:9
When Solomon was asked by God what he desired, Solomon wisely asked for wisdom...a gift God was so impressed with, that God blessed Solomon with other riches as well. But the true gift, was wisdom...something so timeless...something that connects us with Solomon, thousands of years before our time! The other riches would soon fade...remnants could be passed down, but soon deteriorate or be forgotten...but if we pass down wisdom of the Word of God, it will last forever! David prayed that for his son Solomon in Psalm 72...he claimed his son would prosper during his reign, and that's largely because of the loving, wise & God-fearing foundation which was laid for him by his father! What are we passing down to our children? Is it the material gifts, or eternal? What lasts the longest is what matters most! We need to pass down the timeless gift of wisdom of The Word!

Surviving the Peace Plummet

Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
