Pass It On

Pass It On

VineWords Devotions and More

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. -John 13:35 NLT Someone had failed to pass it on.         A popular talk-show host called down a seventeen-year-old for a test. She showed her a table on which were a road map—the hard copy kind—a Yellow Book, and a rotary phone. The test: refold the map, look up a number in the phone book, and call the place of business. After … Continue reading →

consider the poor

Consider the Poor

VineWords Devotions and More

God blesses us when we consider the poor. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11 NIV I met a friend at a restaurant for an evening get-together. We were among the few who ventured out on a chilly winter night. After ordering, we found our seats. Within minutes, the food arrived with its tantalizing aroma. Taking that … Continue reading →

The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

VineWords Devotions and More

“Would you be so kind as to give us a drink of water from your well?” Someone needed the fruit of kindness.   My mother passed down a story told by her grandmother, who grew up on a farm located on a dusty, rural road. At that time, many people walked wherever they went, having no access to any type of transportation. One hot summer day, a family traveling on foot stopped by my great-grandparents’ farm for a drink of … Continue reading →

Kindness Matters

Kindness Matters

VineWords Devotions and More

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ~Colossians 3:12 NIV It’s that time of year when it’s cold enough for crystal flakes of snow to fall from the sky, covering the landscape in a picturesque blanket of white. It’s also a time to remember that kindness matters.   Despite its beauty, snow has challenges. Travel can be difficult. As I did, I met a lady who graced me with … Continue reading →

Martin Wiles: Down to Pennies

VineWords Devotions and More

Finally, when his turn came, he twisted sideways, slid a Ziploc bag from his pocket, and dumped the contents on the hard counter. I heard the coins clang against the hard surface and heard them again as he scraped them two-by-two toward the cashier—all two hundred pennies and two dimes. …

Martin Wiles: Watch the Talk

VineWords Devotions and More

While initially shocking, the question gave Meme and Pop an ideal scenario to discuss what words we should and should not use and why. The question also allowed us to discuss sin and how it affects our actions, attitudes, and words. And we didn’t have to bring the subject up. We merely used a normal conversation and turned it into a teachable moment. …

ANXIETY WITHIN And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” ~ Mark 10:51 ESV I could hear the low rumble of my car’s motor as the cool air from the air conditioner blew strands of hair into my face. Peace eluded me. The summer heat in the South pushed a band of perspiration across my forehead, and with one swipe of my hand, I pushed … Continue reading →

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. look crazy as I make a fist.
