Faith in people will shatter into pieces while faith in God will put them back together.
Psalm 22:3-5 Have you ever tried to put something back together that’s been broken? Think about your favorite coffee mug… What would happen if you dropped it on the way to the coffee pot?

2 Timothy 2:3-9 Growing up, my sister had a friend who would frequently say these words when asked about the likelihood of something happening: “Prolly will. Prolly won’t.” To translate “BSG’s” words – “Probably will. Probably won’t.” After several decades to ponder her words of wisdom, I’m still amazed at her gift of clairvoyance and…

Proverbs 16:33 Although the Tiny Words. Big Life. blog doesn’t advocate their patronage, their mere existence is a testament to greed, stupidity, and proves the subject of today’s quote.

Luke 1:13-17 I’m feelin’ kinda “quotey” today… No, that’s not a real word but on that, I’ll quote Mahatma Gandhi, “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.” Now that we’ve got our roles defined, 🙂 let’s get on with today’s post. One of my favorite Disney movies is The Lion King. I love the…

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 Today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. post is going to be a little different than normal. Why? Because I said so. 🙂 It’s not that I’m trying to be obstinate or difficult to deal with, it’s just that I’m feeling moved to “practice what I’m preaching”… to battle a stronghold with a spiritual…

Ecclesiastes 1:2-9 “Wash. Rinse. Repeat.” Those are the instructions on the back of a shampoo bottle. I’ve often wondered if those instructions are really necessary to get your hair clean or is it there just to sell more shampoo? Probably both… “Wash. Rinse. Repeat.” is also a popular idiom in our culture (referred to as…
Read MoreGod’s grace is vastly more abundant than our ability to conjure and commit sin.
Acts 15:1-10 Our sin is like the weather. We don’t have to wait very long for the sunshine to turn into a thunderstorm. But fortunately, God loves us in all kinds of weather.

Psalm 20:6-8 We tend to think that if you don’t win, you’ve failed. I remember as a kid, I hated the board game Monopoly. My brother and sister would always get more hotels than me and I’d just get mad and quit. To make matters worse, they enjoyed watching my meltdowns. (I can’t really say…

Romans 1:18-21 My Dad was the epitome of the meaning behind today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. quote. He was always doing something. And it was rarely something for himself. He was the most generous and loving man I’ve ever known. By the grace and mercy of God, he’s in Heaven today. And if there’s a…

Isaiah 40:4-8 Would you rather fight a battle with a seed or a sword? It probably won’t take you very long to come up with an answer on that one. A sword, of course. But, is that always the best weapon? Consider this… My wife and I own a small tract of land that offers…
