We must teach our children the power of words from their mouths or through their thumbs with Tic Tok, Instagram, texts, or Twitter. And, of course, an important part of teaching is show and tell. We must model what we teach!

Jobs, possessions, relationships, money, hobbies, and a host of other things serve as the “add-ons” and the consequences flow to our children and grandchildren.

God’s Word is to be the controller of our hearts—the control room of our lives. We can’t impart what we don’t possess.

God’s ways are not our ways, and His schedule is seldom synced with the calendar on our smart phones. But you can be sure of this: God never wastes our time. He is using today to prepare you for tomorrow. He has some great things for you to do. And He will show you what they are . . . in His time.

God was with John as he grew and “became strong in spirit.”

Jesus did not come to perform. He did not come to show us another sign. His mission was clear. He came to die so we could live. He purchased life for us by His death on the cross. Signs will draw a crowd; the cross drew scorn. Signs will fade away; the cross purchased life eternal. Jesus let His actions speak for Him. He came to give His life as a ransom for many.

Jesus did not come to represent God as an ambassador represents a country. He did not come to tell us about God. He was God…in the flesh. He came to show us God. He came to reveal the Person of God. When you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father.
