July 5, 2024 - James would write these words for us in James 3:8-10, “But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”
Have you ever thought about how powerful the tongue is and how powerful your words can be? By our words we express our ideas and thoughts. Our words often convey the deepest thoughts of our heart. With words we can hurt, discourage, anger, stir up strife and crush the spirits of those around us, or we can cheer, enlighten, encourage, uplift and calm those we come in contact with.
We can speak a language pure and pleasing in the sight of God and unquestionable in the eyes of men. Conversely, we can corrupt that language until it damns our soul.
Do my words justify or condemn me? Is my speech pure and clean or is it discolored with the kind of foul language that makes is distasteful not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of men and women I come into contact with? We must seek to speak in a way that is becoming to Christians and uplifting to those we associate with on a daily basis.
It’s something to think about. . . tbp

“He was lost and is found…” Luke 15:32
July 1, 2024 - In the summer of 1980, Mother called her ten children to tell us our dad was missing. His habit for years was to rise at 4:00, drive to his Water Superintendent’s Office in East Center, Texas and return home at 8:00 for breakfast. But this day he didn’t return.
We asked J.M. Warr to fly his plane over the Jericho area and look for his truck. (Daddy made frequent early morning drives down these peaceful roads). Meanwhile, family members frantically searched the myriad of Sand Hill roads, but found no trace of Daddy. But on the second day of searching, we received a radio message from J.M.’s plane: “I’ve spotted Henry’s truck… it’s on a hillside in the Snow Hill community.”
When we finally located the right road, we found him lying about twenty yards from his truck. His mattered eyes were almost swollen shut and fire ants covered the bleeding cuts on his face and arms. As I leaned over him weeping, he weakly raised his hand and whispered, “Son, don’t worry… I’m alright.” He then desperately clutched the cup of water we’d gotten from the nearby spring.
We later learned that Daddy had stuck in deep sand as he returned from a drink from the spring. But as he jacked up the back of the truck, the jack gave way and the truck backed over him as it rolled downhill. He intermittently gained consciousness during his two days in the scorching sun and had almost given up any hope of rescue. To our great joy, a few days in the hospital made him almost like new.
Our dad passed away in 1983. He was a deep believer in Christ… so I know that he is safe in the arms of Jesus!
July 1, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, July 1.
On the morning of July 1, 70 A.D. the Roman army began to attack the walls of Jerusalem. The Romans had a variety of powerful siege engines, including catapults and rams, and by August the Holy City's walls were demolished. The city where Jesus walked was on fire, and the temple where He taught was in ruins.
On a morning forty years earlier, Jesus was walking with his disciples by this temple, the one that King Herod had built. The original sacred building, Solomon's Temple, had been destroyed by the Babylonians five centuries before Bethlehem. As Jesus looked up at the imposing structure he made a prediction. We find it in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. He said "a day will come when there is not one stone upon another."
The siege of Jerusalem was a devastating moment for the nation of Israel. But, looking back, it was a moment that spurred unprecedented growth for the young Christian church, as believers fled Jerusalem and settled in other places, taking their new faith with them, and planting new churches. We recall the promise in Romans 8:28 -
"God works all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose."
On this morning, two thousand years later, Herod's Temple remains in ruins, as pilgrims come to worship at its only remaining wall. And we remember the truth found in Acts 17:24 -
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands."
Meet you back here tomorrow,

June 27, 2024 - Have you ever noticed how complicated some folks want to make religion? We live in a world of problems. Preachers even spend a lot of time pointing out the problems of our time. Yet, the world is not asking for an elaboration on the problems, rather the world is seeking solutions to those problems.
It sometimes reminds me of the accident study conducted about accidents in the home. When it was revealed that 90% of all accidents occurred either at the top or bottom of the stairs, the computer solution was to remove the top and bottom step.
Often, we are searching for complex solutions to our present day problems and anxieties. Yet, the God of heaven, who is high and holy, is not insensitive to the hurts and problems you and I face. He offers a simple solution to modern day problems in every area. Remember the words of Jesus in John 14:1? He said, “let not your hearts be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
We need to stop focusing on ourselves and focus on others. We need to follow the example of Jesus who “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38). We need to realize that real security is built upon trust in God and that God is ever the source of real security.
When we spend more time with the solutions provided in the word of God and live a life obedient to the will of God, we will find that we have a simple solution to the stress of life. It’s something to think about.
It’s something to think about... tbp
