Saving Marriage admin Thu, 08/06/2026 - 12:00am Your commitment is what binds you and your spouse together for better or for worse...richer or poorer...in sickness and health.

Plight Your Troth admin Wed, 08/05/2026 - 12:00am “Troth” isn't a word we often use. It's a solemn pledge made at the altar between a bride and a groom, a pledge to remain faithful to one another. Maybe it's a word we should start using again.

Life is Like Hockey admin Tue, 08/04/2026 - 12:00am Misunderstandings can easily lead to broken relationships. Before this happens do your best to come to a resolution. Then graciously forgive. And move on.

Hypocrites admin Mon, 08/03/2026 - 12:00am Our actions should match our words. It's only when we're honest with ourselves and with God can we begin to overcome hypocrisy.

Honouring Without Smothering admin Fri, 07/31/2026 - 12:00am If you're jealous or overprotective of your spouse you risk smothering. True honouring is the opposite—honouring allows your spouse to be free to be his or her own person.

The Spark of Protest admin Wed, 07/22/2026 - 12:00am We take for granted the freedom of reading the Bible in our own language. The Bible came to us at great cost. Men and women sacrificed their lives so God's Word could be in the hands of the common people.

The Complete Picture admin Tue, 07/21/2026 - 12:00am God sees everything from the beginning to the end. But you have a limited view. Although in the moment you may be feeling defeated or forgotten, God sees the final scene. And from His perspective, it's beautiful.

Selfish, Afraid, and Proud admin Mon, 07/20/2026 - 12:00am We wrestle with God's sovereignty because we want to be in control of what happens to us. But God sees the whole picture of our lives from start to finish...and He says, “Trust Me. I know what's best for you.”

1 John 5:11Although it may feel like it, death is not an escape—it leads you into eternity. Ending your life is not your decision to make, it's God's. He is both the Giver and Taker of life.

Proverbs 14:27Death is inevitable, and once you're in its grip there is no escape. The good news is those in Christ don't need to fear death because it ushers us into the presence of God.

Acts 2:32-33When Jesus Christ arrived back in heaven, having finished His work on the cross, He was seated next to the Father. But He isn't just sitting. The Lord is actively directing the affairs of this planet, and He is in complete control.

Proverbs 18:21Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” Words of encouragement can make a life-changing difference to someone in their time of need. Now that's a sobering thought.

Psalms 19:14Nothing is of greater importance than getting acquainted with Christ. Spending just 10 minutes a day with Him for one year will transform you. Why not accept Chuck's challenge and find out for yourself?

1 Kings 19:10-12There are days it's wise for us to stop and look and listen. When you do everything, life seems to shut down for a period of time. It's almost as if the Lord is saying, “Now that you've stopped, I want you to look, and I want you to listen.”

Jeremiah 20:9We live in a time where Christian values are blurred and weakened. But God's Word is truth and it's unchanging. When we choose to ignore it we become lost, confused, and without hope.

Psalms 8:9We live in a day marked by shallow concepts of God. We've lost our sense of reverence...God has become our “pal,” our understanding buddy. But God is holy. He's our Creator. He is our sovereign and glorious Lord, worthy of all our praise and worship.

Hebrews 11:39-40Nothing you do for the Lord is ever wasted. It's never in vain. Even if you receive no credit or even a “thank you” don't be discouraged! God promises you will be rewarded when the time is right.

Romans 5:8The cross is where we gain our spiritual freedom. But we don't honour the cross...we honour the One who hung on it. Christ is the object of our adoration.

Micah 6:13You can't play games with sin. Left unchecked it can ruin your whole life. It moves in and eats away at our moral fabric. And the longer it stays... the harder it is to get rid of it.

Revelation 5:11-13According to the dictionary the word “glory” is a synonym for splendour or magnificence. So how do we give God glory?

Acts 2:17-20Never think that because something is invisible it is therefore unimportant or weak. Just think of gravity—where would we be without it? The Holy Spirit is the same. He energizes, motivates, comforts, and gives discernment. The Holy Spirit is our spiritual fuel.

Isaiah 64:8Something everyone agrees on is the key in life is change. And it's not optional. Think about the last 10 years—you're not the same person, are you? In fact, your life today compared to then probably doesn't even resemble each other. That's because of change.

Acts 17:30The return of Jesus Christ is met with mixed emotions. For those who are ready there is a sense of comfort and anticipation. But for those who are not there is a mixture of confusion, intimidation, and—for a few—even fear.

James 1:2-4Although often met with resistance and resentment, trials have a purpose: they stretch you. It is through trials you learn endurance. And it is through patient endurance you bring glory to God.

Psalms 25:9True of false? Experience is the best teacher. Experience is a good teacher, but guided experience is the best teacher. We need people to come alongside us; people who care enough to confront us when we're off base. And when we're confronted, we need the humility to learn from it.

1 Corinthians 10:13Temptation is always present, no matter who you are. It knows no barriers and doesn't play favourites. When you're tempted don't linger; determine in your heart to resist.

James 4:11Prejudice is nothing new. It's a learned trait, which keeps you in darkness. When you're prejudice you become bound to old ways of thinking. You lose your openness and creativity. In fact, prejudice can affect every aspect of your life.

Romans 2:1First impressions are seldom correct. We're quick to judge others but a better approach is to choose to see the best in each other and extend grace. It's something we all need.

1 John 5:16-18You can't play games fairly without keeping the rules and the same logic applies to life. Rules set boundaries for us in how we should live but they don't stop us from stop doing what wrong. God's law is not the cause of our wrongdoing it simply reveals it to us.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10God does His best work in you after you've exhausted your own strength. He doesn't use “super-strong” people. He uses the inadequate and ill-equipped, “...for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

James 2:22Someone has said faith is like calories—you can't see them, but you can certainly see the results! Living a deep and consistent walk with Christ requires your time and attention, every day.

Matthew 23:1-12The world says tells us all that matters is making a good impression. But God is not impressed with externals; you can't fake it with Him. Recognizing the hypocrisy in your life and breaking with it is painful, but necessary.

Proverbs 16:32While you can't always control what happens, you can control your response. Your choice of attitude is the single most significant decision you can make on a daily basis. Positive responses develop patience, perseverance, and self-control.

2 Chronicles 7:14Someone may be making your life miserable. There may be another situation making you miserable. Whoever or whatever you're up against there is no wall so strong that God is not stronger. What seems unchangeable is not. God can change hearts. God can change situations. Trust Him for the outcome.

Matthew 19:26When times are tough what matters is your focus. If you focus on your problems they'll seem insurmountable. If you focus on God you're trusting Him for the outcome. And nothing is impossible for God.

Ephesians 4:32A perfect family is not achievable. There will always be disagreements and the clashing of wills. However, through Christ a home filled with grace, forgiveness, and love is achievable.

Micah 6:8Life is complex. Our world is more complicated than it was even 20 or 30 years ago. Even though many of the values we grew up with now seem passé, the basics never change—they're summarized in Micah 6:8, to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Romans 8:20-21Just as countries build walls for protection from enemies we build walls around ourselves. Freedom is living without walls; letting go of the bitterness and anger keeping us in bondage.
