Attitude – Philippians 2:5

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Do you have an attitude? That usually means something bad—like you’re ticked-off, or like you’re going to prove something to the world. But you need to know that God wants you to have an attitude. Let me tell you what I mean. Everybody was arguing...

Authority – 1 Peter 2:13

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Why do we have to obey pagan immoral leaders? They don’t speak for God—or do they? Say, didn’t you find it interesting that the coalition of western super-powers was not able to dislodge Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq during the Desert Storm war?...

Be Still – Psalm 46:10

Dr. Dan Hayden •  For a time, my wife’s folks lived near a busy railroad track. The first time I stayed overnight there, I woke up several times to the rumble of trains going by. After several days, however, it wasn’t such a bother. My ears tuned out the noise of the...

Bear Witness – John 5:39

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Witnesses are an important part of any trial. To “bear witness” is to corroborate truth. Now that’s what the Scriptures do for Jesus Christ. They “bear witness” as to who He really is. In John 5:39 Jesus said an important thing about the Scriptures....

Bears – 1 Corinthians 13:7

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Have you ever seen a mother hen hover over her chicks? She covers them with her protection so they are safe and free from harm. Now that’s what love does – it protects. In 1 Corinthians 13:7 God says that there are four things that love does in every...

Before – Colossians 1:17

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Can you imagine “nothing?” No matter, no space, no time—just nothing. Well, I’ve tried to imagine “nothing,” and I can’t. I guess only God can imagine “nothing,” for He was there when there was nothing. One of the interesting things about the concept...

Beginning – Genesis 1:1

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Beginnings are usually exciting times. Everything is fresh and new and untarnished (the beginning of spring, the beginning of a new job, the beginning of a marriage). “Beginning” – that’s our word for today. The beginning of the universe was the...

Beginning – John 1:1

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Beginnings are important, because that is how we know where we came from. Histories are written to trace nations and ideas back to their source. Genealogies are studied to discover our ancestral roots. Beginnings are important. So, what happened in...

Behold – Isaiah 52:13

Dr. Dan Hayden •  “Attention! May I have your attention, please!” That’s what we say when we want everyone to hear what we’re going to say. First of all we get people’s attention. Then we tell them what it is we want them to hear. Polycarp, one of the early church...

Beheld – John 1:14

Dr. Dan Hayden •  Sometimes we just glance around at things, and at other times we look at things more closely. But on occasion, we get real interested and scrutinize something carefully. That’s what John did when he saw God’s glory in Jesus Christ. In John 1:14,...
