What Are Good Devotions?
Sep 17th
I was thinking about what makes good devotions. We know that having daily devotions helps us grow in our faith and gives us strength and wisdom for life’s challenges. Many Christians choose to have morning devotions in order to start off the day with a focus on God. Others prefer to have devotions during a break at work or in the evening before bed time. But regardless of when you have your devotional time with God, what makes some devotions good ones while others are just so-so?
I think there are a number of factors. The first factor comes down to our More >
Remembering 9-11
Sep 9th
by Karen S. Roberts Today two other people and I talked about where we were when we heard about the tragedy of 9-11. I shared with them that I was working at the Salvation Army, getting ready for the arrival of children at our after-school program. When the receptionist received a call about what was happening, our first reaction was one of unbelief. But soon the Captain brought in a TV and we watched in horror as there was replay after replay of the fall of the towers and more and more reports. We began to pray.
One of my strongest memories More >
Rest From Your Labor by Worshiping
Sep 5th
It’s Labor Day evening. Many of us have been resting from our normal labor today. In these few final hours before we resume our normal work schedule, let’s enter into God’s holy Presence by worshiping along with those singing in these beautiful worship videos.
Lean back and close your eyes if you want. Relax and concentrate on Jesus and how wonderful He is. Or get up and dance to express your love to God. Worship in the way that brings you closer to Him.
There is nothing like worship to rejuvenate us and to prepare us for the work that lies 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 >
Does God Have Wings?
Jul 29th
Under His Wings
When the Bible talks about God’s wings, does it really mean that He has wings, or is it a metaphor? When we read these Scriptures, we need to figure out whether they are giving an actual description of God or whether they are revealing an aspect of God’s character through a word picture. Let’s look to see what the Bible says about God having wings.God’s Wings in Ruth
When Boaz heard about how Ruth had left her home in Moab in order to care for her widowed mother-in-law and to follow the true God, he said, More >
Heat Wave
Jul 21st
As I write this, much of the United States is engulfed by a humid heat wave. People are trying to deal with the heat by going into air conditioned places and by drinking lots of fluids. People can die from intense heat like this, so precautions are necessary. People are advised to not stay out in the heat for long periods of time and to stay hydrated.
An Eternal Heat Wave Someone on Facebook posted “Hell is hotter than this, and there is no relief.” That’s a scary thought. In Luke 16 we read that Jesus told about the beggar Lazarus and More >
Jacob and Esau – The Divided Family
Jul 11th
Jacob and Esau Part 2
In Part 1 we discovered that the unresolved conflicts between Jacob and Esau were fueled by their parents’ favoritism. Let’s see what happened when these roots were allowed to grow.
Because of a famine, Isaac moved his family to another area. God reinstated promises to bless his family, and Isaac began to prosper. Perhaps Esau began to realize how much of an inheritance he had lost to his brother. There is no indication that he ever sought after God, whom his father and mother served. In fact, he married two women from the idol worshiping tribes around them, and More >
Jacob and Esau – Family Conflict Begins

Trading a Birthright for Stew
Jacob and Esau - Part 1
The Bible story of Jacob and Esau reveals family conflicts that had ongoing consequences for years to come. Isaac’s wife Rebekah had a difficult pregnancy in which two twins struggled together inside her. She spent time asking God why she felt so awful, and the Lord revealed to her that her two children would each be the father of nations. He said that the older one would serve the younger, even though in their culture the older son became the head of the family.
When the twins were born, the one who came More >
Jesus is Beautiful
Jun 27th
When you know and love Jesus, you can’t help but to burst into song! As you grow to understand who He is and how much He loves you, you gain ever increasing glimpses of His beauty. Praises flow out of you, and sometimes you feel overwhelmed by His goodness to you. Joy and peace fill you as you draw close to Him and get caught up in worshiping Him. Thousands of songs have been written about Jesus, because knowing Him personally is such a beautiful experience. But the thousands of songs already written about Him cannot begin to express everything More >
