This is the Way: Me First

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 11:02:58 -0500

We have all experienced conversations in which the speaker referred to himself over and over again. “I,” ”me” or “myself” seem to arise in every sentence. Somehow our world has slipped into the error of gratifying self to the point of excess, regardless of what happens in the long run. Greed, avarice and envy abound. We strive to outdo our neighbor and continually amass more. Our companies strive to “maximize profits” with little concern whether we can sustain this lifestyle.

The wisdom of such thinking is ungodly. It comes from another source and is earthly, sensual and demonic (James 3:15-16). Gone are the days when a person shunned indebtedness and greed. Gone are the days when a decent profit was enough. Gone are the days where we were truly concerned about our neighbor. Present are the days of self-indulgence and carelessness. Present are the days of climbing over another in order to get ahead. “Me first” will be the death of the individual who succumbs to its allure. That path leads to destruction and unhappiness.

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 17:21:17 -0500

But have you read in detail what our Creator has to say about how mankind and the heavens and the earth came into being? Have you considered this crucial testimony?

10 Ways Darwin Got It Wrong

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:22:11 -0500

This year marks the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birthday and, coincidentally, 150 years since the publication of his book On the Origin of Species. One of the most influential books in modern history, it has helped shape philosophy, biology, sociology and religion in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. But both Darwin's theory and his book are doomed by major flaws.

This is the Way: Keep Your Focus on the Target

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 13:29:22 -0500

Hitting the bull’s eye means hitting the center of a target in some endeavor. In order to have success we must see the center circle clearly. Once we perceive the objective, we can shoot for it straight and hard.

We have to focus on the targets in our lives unless we are taking a necessary break for rest. But we must watch out for diversions that take our minds off the main objective. Lot’s wife struggled with distractions that ended in her demise. She looked back at what she was leaving with longing in her eyes rather than forward to a better goal and purpose in life (Genesis 19:26).

We will not hit our target unless we focus our attention fully and clearly on the goal. Life demands that we know the destination and purpose of life. Without such focus, we end up wandering aimlessly and without success. We must learn from Lot’s wife and keep the vision of the future God offers us clear in our minds.

This is the Way: BOO!

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:21:32 -0500

Boo! Ever been scared by an unexpected sound? Are you afraid of the dark? Would you run at the rustle of a leaf? We are all a little nervous at times, and the cause is often traceable to our childhood fantasies. Spooks, goblins, witches and dark moonless nights make Halloween exciting for children-but also provide the foundation for fear.

That which is placed into a mind is what the mind reacts to, and the impact can be great. Think about that the next time you plan to frighten a child at Halloween.

Commentary: Should Parents Protect Their Children From Halloween?

This is the Way: Indigestion

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:16:17 -0500

Ever notice how our stomachs seem to reflect our lives? Worry and emotional ups and downs can result in an upset stomach and perhaps ulcers. When we allow our problems to surround us at meal time, our stomach often pays the price. We may eat too quickly, not chew our food properly and have a state of mind that causes us to produce more acid than necessary or that hinders the digestive process. God has set specific guidelines for what we should eat and what we should avoid, which shows He desires the best for us even in this area.

Could it be that the writers of the Bible knew the benefits of enjoying meals? Perhaps they understood that our digestive systems work better when we feel relaxed and at ease. “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart” wrote King Solomon (Ecclesiastes 9:7). There is much wisdom in these words. Even the most sumptuous meals eaten with a sour attitude are not as tasty as bread eaten with joy and gusto.

This is the Way: Hurting Others May Hurt You

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:14:24 -0500

“There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt” (Ecclesiastes 8:9). Working in a position of control or power can have a backlash. When we rule with little regard for those working for us, we gain no loyalty or respect from them. We cut into the productivity of our workers and their willingness to go the extra mile, which not only hurts our company but also ourselves.

In a home, parents rule over their children. The final product may be anything from a child who has grown up angry and critical, to one who is kind and understanding. The parents do play a large role. When children reach adulthood, they will either love to be near the parents or stay as far away as possible. When we are ruled with a heavy hand, we try to get away.

How pleasant it is to work in an environment where we feel respected, wanted and needed. We will work long and hard for such a boss.
