Words to Live By

Timeless Truth

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew.  Esau ate and drank and went on about his business, indifferent to the fact that he had given up his birthright. Genesis 25:34 NLT


Thoughtful Wisdom

“Good habits are not made on birthdays, nor Christian character at the new year. The workshop of character is everyday life. The uneventful and commonplace hour is where the battle is lost or won.” – Maltbie D. Babcock

“The tragedy of the world is that men have given first class loyalty to second class causes and these causes have betrayed them.” – Lynn Harold Hough


Treasured Gifts

* Being a child of God by faith in his Son, destined to enjoy eternal treasures.

*  Spiritual birth rights that are yours by a faith relationship to Jesus Christ.

*  Empowerment of the Holy Spirit to enable you to resist impulse buying in hell’s cafeteria.


Today’s Affirmation

When I hunger for significance, I will not make the same stupid mistake Esau did—trading family privileges for a happy meal. Instead, I will depend on the Bread of Life to satisfy all my famished spirit needs.

I will accept Christ’s invitation to share a meal with him as friends, then I’ll go on about His business.
