Hope - Victory (#6)
The purpose of Revelation 7 was to fill the faithful with courage to endure the sufferings which were about to strike the earth. In the previous chapter the believers, who were already martyred for their faith, cried out to God asking, “How long until you judge and avenge our blood on those who...

Are you a Good Person or a Bad Person?
This question comes from the 3rd Equalizer movie with Denzel Washington. He is being healed of a gunshot wound and the man attending to him asks him this question. Romans 3:10-12 Paul quoting from the Old Testament… Ecclesiastes 7:20 - “For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does...

The Breaking of the 1st 6 Seals - Victory (#5)
In chapter 5 we read of the Lamb taking the sealed scroll from the One on the throne (5:7). Chapter 6 opens with the Lamb breaking the seals. When the first four seals are broken we see 4 horses carrying riders (6:1-8). The images of horses takes us back to the prophecy of Zechariah (Zech.…

Why Worry? - Walk with the Lord Series (No.10)
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6) Worry can literally eat our lunch! When our hearts are filled with worry, we cannot do enough. At night we worry that everything we’ve done will fall...
-
Kindness - Christian Character
I was recently asked the statement and follow up question: It is often the case that people will display more kindness and patience toward strangers than with members of their own family. Why it can be challenging to display Christian character at home and what we can/should do about it? I think...
-
The Throne - Victory (#4)
The book of Revelation begins with the words, “The Revelation Of Jesus Christ.” The book was given to allow God’s people to look behind the scenes. They were going through terrible persecution for their faith. Did God know? Was He planning to do something about it? John responds, “Yes, God knows,...

Essentials for Salvation
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all active in our salvation. They had to do certain things for us to be saved. Consider some things that were necessary on God's part for us to be saved: “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.” Romans 8:33 “Therefore…

7 Letters to 7 Churches - Victory (#3)
Do you get a lot of mail? Do you get letters from family, friends? Typically what fills my mailbox is bills and ads. Imagine with me – today Rickie goes outside to the mailbox outside of the church building, and in our mailbox is a letter addressed to the church at Campbell Road – a letter…

Perspective - Walk with the Lord Series (No.9)
“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 3:3-5)....

Christian Character
What section of Scripture you find most meaningful in defining Christian character and why? It’s incredibly hard to choose just one. When I opened up my Bible to begin answering this question, I, without flipping any pages, opened up to 1 Peter 2:14 which the two pages covers through 5:10. No one...

Jesus: Alpha & Omega - Victory (#2)
Jesus is introduced as Prince who came to the earth, Ruler, Redeemer who loosed us from our sins by His blood. Revealed by our God who is said to be the Alpha and Omega. This is to people who believe He is the Alpha. He began this process. He is God Who became flesh and came into this world. But...

Washed by the Water of the Word
What if your life was compared to a section of beach just wide enough for your to walk back & forth, but extended from the water all the way back to where the sand ends. What would it mean to get closer and closer to the water? #washedbytheword #dietoself #christmakesmewhole #fearGod #pride...

Keys to Revelation - Victory (#1)
Keys to Revelation: Realize the Specific Audience. Realize the Specific Setting. Realize the Specific Time Table. Realize the Specific Style of Writing. Realize the Specific Purpose of the Book. #victory #winning #won #victoryinjesus #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church...

Rejoice - A Very Ritchie Series (No.50)
Such an encouraging word, rejoice. The word sounds wrong if you don’t say it with a lilt in the tone of your voice. Rejoice! I believe the quintessential scripture on what it means to rejoice is found in Philippians 4:4-7 where Paul begins, “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say Rejoice.” What...
-
Kindness & Encouragement - Walk with the Lord Series (No.8)
Kindness and encouragement go a long way in helping every kind of relationship. More importantly, love is kind and kindness is a fruit of the spirit (1Cor. 13:4; Gal. 5:22). The emphasis is that we can tell the character and heart in a person by how kind they are. We can tell the Holy Spirit is…

Sifting for Seashells
When looking for seashells: Do keep everything you find? Do you find beauty in broken shells? Do you discard the broken and only keep the whole ones? What if God discarded the broken... #broken #dietoself #christmakesmewhole #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove...

One Day at a Time - A Very Ritchie Series (No.49)
Contentment is disturbed because our plans are broken. The family brings home a friend or additional family pops in for dinner. The vacation is busted when our flight is cancelled. You are deep in work, focused upon the task at hand and someone taps you on the shoulder and says, “by the way…” as...

Wrapping Up Willard
Over the months, Willard and Elise spent more time together, both inside and outside church. Sunday mornings became a rhythm of shared coffee, quiet reflection, and casual conversation. Weekdays found them collaborating on outreach projects, balancing the meticulous care of Willard’s work with...

Glory or Shame - Wise vs. Foolish (#4)
“The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.” Proverbs 3:35 (NKJV) One of the great realities of life is that every person is moving toward a destination. We are all becoming something. Day by day, choice by choice, habit by habit, we are building a life that will...
-
Clear Vision - A Very Ritchie Series (No.48)
The wind was howling, really howling. The snow was falling so fast that when I turned back to look where I had been, there were no tracks. I had been skiing most of the morning doing well, but as the day progressed, the conditions deteriorated. This was a full-on blizzard! I had not planned well.…

Purpose - Walk with the Lord Series (No.7)
Life has to be more than just work; surely we have a greater purpose in life. It has been said, “We play at our work and work at our play.” But surely life is more than work and play. Flawed is the thinking that our greater purpose is to solve the world’s problems, eliminate terrorism, or feed…

Wisdom is from God - Wise vs. Foolish (#3)
“My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden…

Book, Chapter and Verse - A Very Ritchie Series (No.47)
How many times have you heard that line? For those who are older, likely you heard it a lot. Many times, that was used as an expression of derision saying, “you don’t think for yourself, you just quote scripture.” What’s wrong with that? When I was a child, we had memory verses weekly. We were...
-
Esteem or Despise - Wise vs. Foolish (#2)
“A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:5-7...
-
Take a Walk - A Very Ritchie Series (No.46)
A mother’s son became very angry and exchanged harsh words. The mother told her son, “go take a walk.” The son complied in disgust. He stomped out of the room then out of the house and began to walk the neighborhood. As he walked, he mumbled to himself complaining about how his mother was unfair....
-
Character - Walk with the Lord Series (No.6)
How often do we focus on talent, education, intelligence, or athleticism? In our world it’s the smart, beautiful, witty, and athletic ones we consider successes. If, on the other hand, you’re fat, ugly, dumb, and clumsy you are nobody. Judging people from the outward has always been around....
-
Above My Pay Grade - Wise vs Foolish (#1)
“This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one...
-
I Can Do All Things - A Very Ritchie Series (No.45)
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Our beliefs are challenged. Our honesty as Christians is tested in the face of trouble if we remain honest. We are overwhelmed with work by employment or at home. This is when we recite this passage to revive strength, which…

In or Out
So many people need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and part of that good news is the things offered in Christ compared to the reality outside of Christ. #inchrist #speaklife #dietoself #vanity #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #GodIsLove #FaithPodcast...

Make His Paths Straight - A Very Ritchie Series (No.44)
This is an old expression which has lost much of its meaning upon us today. Back in the old days (I mean ancient history old) city infrastructure didn't exist. There were no sewers, no running water, only basic roads and few places to stay. No hotels, no restaurants, no Walmart. Long stretches of...
-
Control What You Can Control - Walk with the Lord Series (No.5)
Control what you can control, and don’t complain. Have you ever observed those who complain the most seem to be doing the worst in almost every area of their life, but those who do not complain are doing the best? Who would you rather be around, one who complained or one who controlled what they...

Speaking Life in Christ
I am crucified with Christ, it’s no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me. I am in Jesus, He is in me, we are one. I have the mind of Christ. I am the righteousness of God, in Christ I have been cleansed, forgiven, made new. In Jesus, I am thoroughly loved, adored, treasured and worthy…

A Kingdom of Priests - A Very Ritchie Series (No.43)
There is a reason God commanded the children of Israel “thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 19: 6). God expects his people to be a “holy nation” (2 Peter 3: 9), a people who display him in the very fabric of their lives (Romans 12:1- 2). To “let your light so shine... (Matthew 5: 16)...

Mind Your Thoughts
“Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 Have ever seen something and had an instant thought… It doesn’t matter what it is. you see...
-
I Am Glorified in Them - A Very Ritchie Series (No.42)
John chapter 17 records Jesus’ prayer as he and the apostles left the upper room after the Passover and walked toward the garden of Gethsemane. This prayer is a tremendous study in the interrelationship between God, man, and Jesus’s pivotal role within that relationship. Jesus' words also reveal...
-
Love, Serve and Care - Walk with the Lord Series (No.4)
Do you love what you do? When we love what we do, challenges seem small, adversity is a nuisance, and we overlook rejection. However, if we don’t love what we do, challenges become unconquerable mountains, adversity, an overwhelming fear, and rejection, a statement of our self-worth. All…

Dead People
I’d say the only good things from social media that I have identified are recipe ideas, project ideas and inspirational thoughts from the inspired word of God. Even if the thoughts are off the mark, or a little wild or “denominational” leaning or just out of left field, they are good. You need to...
-
Milk and Honey - A Very Ritchie Series (No.41)
“A land flowing with milk and honey.” We read this expression in scripture and are very familiar with it in relation to the promise of God to the Children of Israel. But what does it mean? It really is strange, since the land did not have rivers of milk or guizers of honey. Even when the spies…

Both Sides of a Coin
It occurred to me, in no uncertain terms, that credit and blame are basically the same thing, or at the very least two sides of the same coin. Think about it… One side - something good occurs, you seek the credit, you want to be recognized and be elevated. Other side - something bad happens, you...
-
Recognition - A Very Ritchie Series (No.40)
Recognition, Appreciation and Approval We all need and want these. Everyone needs to be recognized for existing, for being here, for being a part. Everyone needs appreciation for who they are, their talents, their activity in work, home and family. And everyone needs approval for all that they…

Dealing with Distractions - Walk with the Lord Series (No.3)
We have so many advantages today that they can cause sensory overload, such as the new ways to communicate instantly that can detach us from the people we’re “talking” to. Our world offers so many possibilities. All of them can be good, but they can also become distractions. Here is an example…

Pride (Cluster 4)
To begin… I asked ChatGPT this questions: Can you describe how pride is at the basis of all evil in the world? And it provided me with these verbatim 4 points without going into any other detail… How pride can lead to other forms of evil: Pride says “my will matters most” Pride resists correction...

Great Leaders - A Very Ritchie Series (No.39)
When we look at the life of Jesus, the Apostles, and many others in both the Old and New Testament who were leaders; several things come to the forefront regarding their character and conduct. Great leaders are not special in that they were particularly charismatic, good looking, intelligent or...

What is Scripture?
Have you ever considered the idea that the term “scripture” was predominantly used to reference Old Testament writings? I hadn’t. I was recently introduced to this idea, and I appreciated this comparison that I was shown in 1 Timothy 5:18 - For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox…

Don't Hit a Tree - A Very Ritchie Series (No.38)
I like snow skiing. I have fun in the cold and snow. The beauty, the brisk air, the falling snow, the brilliant blue of mountain skies, the vistas of snowcapped mountains; its’ all so wonderful. I see God in these things. His amazing design, the absolute brilliance of his creative imagination…

Forgetting Those Things Left Behind - Walk with the Lord Series (No.2)
Paul wrote, “Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things ahead, I press on toward the mark of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:13-14). First, Paul’s not saying he forgot the past or stop learning from it. In fact, some nine or ten times he refers...

Hearing God's Voice
At a camp designed to help strengthen the bond between children and their fathers, there was an exercise where the fathers each took a child of theirs as a group into the woods nearby the camp site. They were instructed to blindfold the children and guide them to the lead them out of the woods....

Eat This Scroll - A Very Ritchie Series (No.37)
“Open your mouth and eat what I give you …” There are some truly strange images recorded in the Bible. Between Daniel, Zechariah, Revelation, and Ezekiel; there are some truly weird things. One which catches my imagination is when God commands Ezekiel to “eat this scroll.” Ezekiel 2:8-3:3…

When Your Father Dies
When your Father dies… The Irish say: “You lose your umbrella against bad weather.” The Welsh say: “You sink a foot deeper into the earth.” The Canadians say: “You run out of excuses.” The French say: “You become your own father.” The Indians say: “He comes back as the thunder.” The Russians say:...

Discipleship - A Very Ritchie Series (No.36)
“Peter answered him and said, ‘Thought they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away’” Matthew 26:33. Peter thought himself to be a “Super Disciple.” What does it mean to be a disciple? Today we use the word “disciple” in an exclusively religious manner, one who disseminates another’s...
