Distraction-Free Time
on October 27th, 2023
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6:6) The world we live in is filled with distractions. Everywhere we look, something or someone is begging for our attention. Our phones are constantly buzzing. The TV is chattering in the background. Our desks at work are covered in “To-D... Read More

Forgiveness
on October 26th, 2023
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Matthew 18:21-22) We talked about forgiving others as Christ forgave us, and how difficult this can be. When forgiving, we must remember that we cannot fully forgive anyone in our own power. ... Read More

Forgive Like Jesus
on October 25th, 2023
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. (John 20:19-20) When Jesus first appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, they techn... Read More

Forgive Others
on October 24th, 2023
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:32) It is very important that we learn how to forgive others. There are some passages which cry out for much more meditation and processing; and this happens to be one of those. Filled with the Holy Spirit, I can imagine that the Apostle Paul had someone on his mind when he wrote these w... Read More

You Are In Process
on October 23rd, 2023
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them -- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples ...

Delight Yourself in Jesus
on October 21st, 2023
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) Many of us think that finding God’s will is extremely difficult, a never-ending mystery that often seems impossible to solve. In reality, that is not the case at all. God makes His will for us clear in His Word. We just have to be willing to look for it. As C. S. Lewis says, “The deep things of God are no... Read More

Aligning with God’s Plans
on October 20th, 2023
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. (Proverbs 16:9) One of the most amazing things about Jesus is that He sees everything that you are going through right now; and He has all power to direct the next steps of your life. In knowing this, we need to make sure that our steps are not going against God’s plans. Many of us make decisions based upon what ... Read More

Born and Born Again
on October 19th, 2023
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” (John 3:3) Today is my birthday. That’s right. On an early Monday morning, at approximately 2:00 a.m., I entered the world with a pat on the bottom and a scream of shock. Although I don’t remember the event, my mother has recounted it many times, how the event unfolded, often in a crowd of people ... Read More

So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” (Genesis 22:14) This chapter recounts the event which happened on top of Mount Moriah.

Serve the Lord
on October 17th, 2023
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.” (John 13:12-14) There will be moments in your life when God gives you an opportunity to serve...

Fearless Confidence
on October 16th, 2023
For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days... Read More
