The Difference Between Ham and Eggs.

“The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved; the pig is committed.” –Martina Navratilova

I wonder how many Christians today are involved rather than committed to obedience to God’s commands. How many Christians get involved with loving God and loving their neighbor instead of being committed to loving God and loving their neighbor? I wonder how many people have really considered the difference.

Asa, the great-great-grandson of king David, was also a king of Judah. Read More

A House of Hope.

In 1 Chronicles, chapter 17, we read that David is grateful for all of the things that God has done for him. In response to his love for God, David decided that he wanted to build God a permanent house. David wanted to build the temple. When he finally heard back from the prophet Nathan concerning this, instead of giving him His blessing, God tells David “No, you will not build me a house. Instead, I will build one for you.”

We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. (Daniel 9:18 NIV)

My children usually begin a request for something by making a case. If you have kids, then you know what I mean. “Dad, since Kyle had a snack, can I have one?” Or, “You let Sienna stay up late last night, I should get to tonight.” It goes to show that we struggle with understanding grace. That is, we struggle with believing that anyone would give us anything unless it is justified. This is why we spend a great deal of our lives justifying why we deserve Read More
