Some find it difficult to take responsibility for their actions. Instead, they blame others for their shortcomings. This is not a new development among mankind; it goes back to the Garden of Eden. Adam sinned, and, then, he “passed the buck.” Genesis 3:11-12 (ESV) 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have […]

Tonight’s blog is based on an illustration I once read and is produced below. “Linda was traveling alone up the rutted and rugged highway from Alberta to the Yukon. She did-n’t know you don’t travel to Whitehorse alone in a rundown Honda Civic, so she set off where only four-wheel-drives normally venture. The first evening […]
Deuteronomy 5:28-29 (ESV) 28 “And the LORD heard your words, when you spoke to me. And the LORD said to me, ‘I have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. They are right in all that they have spoken. 29 Oh that they had such a heart as this always, […]
Proverbs 20:7 (ESV) 7 The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him! Many parents decide to leave their children all their earthly possessions when they die.
