“fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” (Philippians 2: 2 NKJV) In the same way that Heb. 11: 1 defines faith, and 1 Cor. 13: 4 – 7 defines love, so these words define true Biblical unity. To be like-minded is to: Have the same love [...] This morning, I’m reflecting on the creative power of new ideas, wondering why some seem predisposed to reject them. Both my kids drove me nuts when they were around 4 to 6 years old, because they stubbornly refused to try new foods. They were convinced they didn’t like them, but they’d never had them before! Ever [...] “…so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1: 20, 21) The original Greek for magnified, according to Strong’s dictionary, is megaluno, (notice the “mega” = big) which means to “make or declare great.” Studying [...] Remember Grade 8?

The Lamb family is fasting from negativity for 40 days with the 2009 Life Above the Negativity International Campaign. It coincides with Lent, as we lead up to Easter, and beings March 1. The fact that, when I heard about it, I didn’t want to do it, was a red flag. Why, [...] Several times throughout my life, I’ve heard a voice that’s not from God, from me, or from anyone around me. It robbed me of initiative, stole precious time away, and made me afraid to face my future. Really, it wasn’t the voice alone that did all this; it was what the voice said. Perhaps you’ve heard [...] Ha ha, this will make you laugh, but it will also make you think, and I love that combination. Pr. 4:23 tells us “above all else, guard your heart,” but ah, how little care we give to the things heart! If this happened to you, what would you hear?
