In Ephesians chapter 4, Paul writes, In your anger do not sin: do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. (Ephesians 4:26-27, NIV) God understands the heart of mankind. He knows how difficult people can be,...

When I think of meekness, I can’t help but think of my dad. Truth be told, Mom was hard to please some days—perhaps most days. She liked change a lot, and she liked to take control. Day after day my dad would hop in the car to pick up her groceries, and day after day...

I thought I was kind for the most part. I mean, I don’t yell at people, I tip waiters, I hold my tongue in public, I smile a lot, and I always respect those who serve me. But then my son asked me a question one day that got me wondering if perhaps there was more to...

As I’m reading the Bible today, these two little verses stand out from the rest: Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. (Proverbs 25:16, KJV) And yet another one… Love not sleep, lest thou...
