Hold Thy Tongue

everfaith

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. -Proverbs 21:18 Whoa! Those who know me well know that I am someone who LOVES to talk! It’s no wonder that my daughter said her first word at 9 months old and hasn’t stopped talking since; she’s got my genes. But with lots of talk also comes lots of foolishness. Sometimes foolishness leads to gossip, and gossip leads to slander, and then before we know it or words have caused someone else to die inside. Has it happened to you? Has someone said something … Continue reading Hold Thy Tongue

I Like Mike!

everfaith

One of the unique features of our government is our power to not only choose between people for elected office, but to choose those who run for office in the first place. That’s where you and I wield our greatest power in a democracy. So many Americans today are weary of political shenanigans. We’re tired of the mud slinging and out of control spending.

everfaith

Here are the promised musings for more treasures from 1 Timothy 6. I’ve known this passage since childhood, but must admit that at times I’ve wondered what it really means.

My husband has always wanted to be able to read in Greek and Hebrew so he could read the scriptures and translate them himself! Although I’m not that ambitious, it is wonderful to use tools like Strong’s Concordance. 17Charge them that … Continue reading Peeling the onion

Removing The Planks

everfaith

My daughter has been asking me to post on the hoopla concerning the upcoming movie, The Golden Compass.  I’ve received at least four emails from different sources warning me about the movie and about the book series (His Dark Materials) the movie is based upon.  So I checked up on the author of the books and came across a quote from him that made me very sad.  He was speaking about C.S. Lewis and his series about Narnia.  Many children and parents who see the trailer for The  Golden Compass with its Narnia-like special effects will assume this new movie … Continue reading Removing The Planks
