“Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too”
Dec 31st
Chris Vasecka
A good New Year‘s Resolution is to spend more time praying and listening to God. But we often say we have no time to do so! Read Chris’s interesting thoughts on this.
“Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too”
by Chris Vasecka
Read Luke 4:31-44
Are you busy? Don’t answer. I know the answer is yes. We are all busy. We have work, and kids, and baseball, and swimming, and church, and hobbies, and yard work, and, and, and… We certainly don’t have any space left for personal time with God. We couldn’t possibly start our morning in prayer and study. Oh, More >
In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him
Aug 15th
by David Roberts Proverbs 3:6 is a well known and often quoted Scripture verse. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.” The goal is to have the great Creator and Operator of the universe actually take the time and interest to direct our paths. That sounds like an offer too good to be true, yet it is Scripture; it is God’s Word, and He is no liar since the father of lies can find nothing in Him. Who wouldn’t want his or her paths directed by the One Who knows the future now before it happens More >
St. Patrick’s Day Devotional
Mar 15th
Many people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day because it’s fun to wear green, go to parades, and have parties. But most Christians do not realize that St. Patrick was an apostolic missionary to Ireland. He saw many signs and wonders happen during his ministry because He walked in the Spirit daily. He valiantly stood against the powerful demonic forces of the paganism that filled Ireland at that time. St. Patrick lived from 389 to 461 AD. He has kidnapped from his native England when he was sixteen years old and was sold by his kidnappers to Miliucc, a pagan chieftain More >

Show Love To Your Valentine
by David Roberts
From the distant and mysterious past comes the tradition of St. Valentine and the date February 14. Some believe that he was a Roman martyr who died on February 14, 269 AD for refusing to give up Christianity; Other stories indicate that he defied the Roman dictator, was imprisoned, and was sentenced to be beaten to death. But after hours of suffering that did not kill him, the soldiers cut off his head. This one of several St. Valentines is supposed two have sent a note from prison to one of his followers (the More >

What's Your Job?
by David Roberts // My favorite TV teacher is Chuck Missler. The other day he asked his live audience how many were saved. He was not surprised to see that most of the people raised their hands. What he said next was surprising to me as I guessed it was to those attending the conference. “Why are you saved? What did God save you for?” Dr. Missler went on to explain that the answer to that question for all Christians would be – their destinies. The situation we find ourselves in right now, if it is not our More >
How Peculiar Should A Christian Be?
May 27th
Some people wonder about the verses in the Bible that say that Christians are peculiar people. One of these is Titus 2:14. Depending upon which version of the Bible you have, it says that Jesus gave Himself for us so that He could redeem us from sin and purify us, His own “peculiar” or “special” people, zealous for good works. The Greek word used for this word means “beyond usual.” And yes, if we are set free from sin and are going out of our way to do good things for people, we are pretty different from the norm!

A Mothers Day Dad Considers The Babe In Swaddling Clothes

by Scott MacBradaigh Swires //
written at 4:52am, Mothers Day, 1010
I woke to a familiar sound. At 3AM, in the midst of howling winds, I could hear the soft sound of Selah crying. It’s Mother’s Day, so I decided to be a proactive Father. You have to a proactive Father on Mother’s Day. I used my sneaky skills acquired by many years of training in GoldenEye, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon, to quietly leave my wife in bed while I, Proactive Father, saw to Selah.
I fed the child, burped the child, fed the child, burped the child, and attempted to More >
What Are You Collecting?
May 6th
// //
// ]]>An Autumn Devotion The green leaves of summer burst into a cacophony of color across the Appalachian horizon of my home town in western Pennsylvania. The chill mornings of fall with near frost on the car were met with the sometimes joyous, sometimes sullen sounds of children trekking off to school. These were simply signs of a changing season to adults, but to us kids they were a sure indicator that it was time to collect “buckeyes”. Now, to some of you, this may be a foreign term to you. I never hear people around Rochester, NY (where I More >
Where Your Weakness Meets Divine Power

by Shane Harris //
God does not call us to do inadequate things. He calls us to do supernatural things that we are inadequate to do. God does not look at a man based on His abilities. He does not choose the most talented and skillful people to do His greatest work.
“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

Devotionals for Men
Dec 5th
Let’s face it - Men have their own spiritual issues and struggles. Many of the devotional books that women enjoy just do not address these needs. Men will read devotionals that really speak to the things that interest them and relate to their every day lives. But a general devotional might just sit on their bookshelf.
Usually men don’t go out and buy a devotional for themselves. Often if they have one, it’s a gift from someone. So if you are thinking of purchasing a devotional book for a man in your life, think carefully about the interests of that man. More >
