July 25 Swimsuit Color

Are you the parent of a young child? Do you give much thought to the color of your child’s swimsuit that will be worn at the swimming pool or beach? CBC news put out an article noting the importance of parents choosing bright and contrasting colors for a swimsuit making it easier for a lifeguard to spot a child in an emergency. Lifeguards are constantly on the lookout, and it is important your child is easily spotted. Did you know the Bible says God is constantly on the lookout for someone. Isaiah 66:2 reads, “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.

July 23 Replacing TV Time

Do you watch a lot of TV? CNN shared an article recently noting how replacing TV time with light physical activity, moderate to vigorous physical activity, and sleep is beneficial to healthy aging. Watching less TV and being more physically active is associated with a longer, healthier life. Do you know the Bible specifies how to experience a particular type of life and the type of life it addresses is certainly newsworthy. In the book of John chapter 3 verse 16 it reads, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

July 14 Which is healthier?

There was an article put out by Fox News entitled Hamburger vs. Hotdog: Which is healthier for you? The consensus seems to be that when it comes to overall nutritional value hamburgers that are often topped with veggies wins out. Comparisons are interesting. Charles Spurgeon was an English Baptist preacher in the late 1800’s. He was known in his day as the prince of preachers. On one particular day there was a gentleman that asked him a question in relation to the importance of prayer and bible reading. Which was more important? Charles Spurgeon responded with a question back to this individual asking him which does he consider to be more important? – breathing in or breathing out.

July 11 Overpriced

Do you find ice-cream to be overpriced? According Guinness World Records the most expensive ice cream in the world costs $6,696 for a serving. It is made in Japan and is known as “white night”. Can you imagine paying such a price for ice cream? Some people have such a desire to enjoy the ice cream they are actually paying this high price. I would say people are desiring something in this case that would not be worth the expense. In the Bible, Jesus speaks of having a desire that can definitely be satisfied. He says in the book of Matthew, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” The Bible also tells us that the means to experience this righteousness is through Jesus.

July 7 Happiness

CNN shared an article by Monica Parker entitled, Happiness is a trap. Here’s what to pursue instead, the writer outlines the limits of simply pursuing happiness and enforces the importance of pursuing wonder which she identifies to be of a much greater value. Did you know the Bible places a lot of emphasis on wonder in relation to God? In the book of Psalms, the writer is addressing the knowledge of God and writes, “O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.” The Psalmist in summarizing his thoughts on the knowledge of God writes, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”

In are article put out by CareerZOT entitled 8 Simple Ways to Be Successful – from 8 Inspiring Leaders it lists the various ways to be successful as: be passionate; work hard; strive for greatness; focus; push the limits; serve; create ideas; be persistent. Did you know Jesus shared an essential quality that is necessary in order to experience success in experiencing eternal life? In the book of Matthew He says, “blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven.” Being poor in spirit speaks of one whom recognizes they are not able to obtain heaven due to his/her own efforts but rather through faith in Jesus Christ and what He did to provide provision for sin resulting in a changed life.
