Today in church we talked about 1 Kings 21.  This chapter discusses the king of Samaria, Ahab with his wife Jezebel.  One day they decided they really wanted to buy this man Naboth’s vineyard.  Ahab wanted to use this vineyard to make a vegetable garden, and he in particular wanted this vineyard because it wasContinue reading “Coveting what isn’t Yours:”

I just recently started a new devotional study all about the book of Nehemiah in the Bible.  I was very excited to start this series because this is not a book of the Bible that I know a lot about.  I don’t necessarily know Nehemiah and his story.  I have read through this book before,Continue reading “Praying Like Nehemiah:”

I am continuing my reading of the book about God and work, called “Every Good Endeavor,” by Timothy Keller.  Through this book, there are a lot of chapters of working and the importance of working hard for the glory of God.  However, there is then a chapter about the importance of working selflessly.  This isContinue reading “Selfless Work:”

I have recently just started a book by Timothy Keller called “Every Good Endeavor.”  This book is really a great book on the importance of work, and how work is a very godly thing to do.  It is a part of God’s plan for humanity, and it is not something we just have to bearContinue reading “Working Just like Our Heavenly Father:”

I have recently finished the book, “Forgive,” by Timothy Keller.  This book has really been a good insight to me on how to feel about forgiving others, as well as how to be overfilled with appreciation and joy from the forgiveness God has shown us.  Through having this deep appreciation over God’s forgiveness, we areContinue reading “True Repentance:”

One thing I have really enjoyed about working with the Job Foundation is building connections with a lot of people.  I have gotten to meet so many different people and learn about non-profit organizations through this job at the Job Foundation.   I believe building connections is the great foundation for the Christian church.  ItContinue reading “Building Connections:”

I am currently reading a book called, “Forgiveness,” by Timothy Keller.   This book started with a description of the world we live in today that has forgiveness as not a main priority.  The world, as a whole, believes forgiveness doesn’t give people justice.  They believe that when people are often forgiven, then they areContinue reading “Forgive in a World that Doesn’t:”

I was recently reading the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki along with Sharon L. Lechter for work.  Robert’s rich dad had interesting ideas and new thoughts when it comes to making money and becoming more financially independent of the job you have.  This book, overall, did have some interesting views andContinue reading “Becoming What You Study:”

I have started the book, “Miraculous Stories of the Healing Power of Prayer,”  by Harris Faulkner.  This book has been really delightful.  I have enjoyed hearing stories of prayer and miracles by the everyday person.  Some of the stories have been about a woman who conquered her heroin addiction and is now a missionary, oneContinue reading “Purpose in the Small Things:”

Recently something happened to me that has never happened before.  If I am quite honest, it was over something, I will usually tease other people about.  I left my cell phone on top of my car, while I was driving.  In case you are curious or are wondering, that is not an ideal place forContinue reading “Helping a Complete Stranger:”
