They seemed to be more concerned about their image than things that really mattered. There was a man in our town who proudly drove his out-dated luxury car around like he was a wealthy tycoon. Instead of waving at friends, he would simply nod. My mother worked at the college dining hall and would often bring home leftover food. Somehow Mom discovered that the "tycoon's" family was not able to affo

I once was called upon to officiate at a funeral service. The son of the deceased told me that he had not spoken to his sister for years and wanted me to reconcile them before the service. Right! Just like that! Less than an hour before the service I met with the two and their families. Each of th

Yes, it is all too common that we encounter spiritual bullies. Interestingly, even the disciples of Jesus were prone to bully others who were not in their circle. We often come across g

The thought behind the expression was that this sort of person used their financial means to bully others. I have never had the problem of being a rich bully. More often than not I have been bullied by others who held the financial advantage. They possessed the means to assist people, but instead used it to put others in a financial bind. Jesus often condemned those who used their wealth as a means to abuse those who h

As I mentioned yesterday, I do not like bullying of any sort. Within the halls of academia there is a great deal of bullying. Those who possess advanced degrees often lord it over those who have not had the opportunity or ability to earn comparable degrees. I am stunned by the arrogance that many academicians exhibit toward those they don't consider their aca

If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we areChrist’s. ” I do not like bullying of any sort. In the next few Daily-E-Votionals I would like to focus on some of the evil methods people use to bully others. The first type of bully that comes to mind is the one who uses physical superiority to abuse others -- the strong-handed bully. I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of being bullied by t

They were glad when it grew calm, and He guided them to their desired haven. ” It seems that each of us is called upon to face storms in our life. It may be physical infirmity, financial reversals or the loss of a loved one. It is not the storm that matters, but how we react to the storm.  Back in 1873, Horatio Spafford and his family were scheduled to sail on the French steamer 'Ville de Havre' from New York to England where he was to assist the great evangelist, D.L. Moody. Because of a last minut
