1 Chronicles 21:24, “But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” How blasé we talk about worshipping God, how tritely we utter the words Praise God, and how assuming we…
As a mother and wife, I can go from being counselor, bank advisor, parole officer, head chef, lawn care specialist, and nurse in ten seconds or less. Any woman with children has the know-how and God-given talent to access new situations, file a contingency plan, and implement an infrastructure while most men are still scratching…
Psalm 100:4 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” It happens twice a year at our house, that dreaded time when I’m put in the role of “etiquette” policeman.

1 Chronicles 21:24 “But King David replied to Aranuah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” If you only read this verse, it really has no meaning. It’s a nice phrase, but no depth. David…
Romans 8:1-2 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.” If you can’t think of any reason to fall to your knees before Christ, this verse should make you…
