The tribulations that people go through are very real, and yes, at times they are the result of bad decisions. We see the divide infecting even our nation today, in the rancor demonstrated in politics, even in news casting and a host of other things. There is plenty of indignant self righteousness going around, and even the best of the best can get caught up in that without realizing the seriousness of measuring people by self evaluation, or basing the character of an individual by using self as …

Romans 3:19-20 speaks this morning. “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall be no flesh justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” I sit here rejoicing this morning, that what the law could not do, Jesus Christ did. as we read in Romans 7:24-8:8 “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver m …

Simply Said: (In this devotional I quote a few verses twice. It is deliberate!)
Jacob had a dream at Bethel and the dream came while he was sleeping with stones as a pillow, in Genesis 28:11. While sleeping he sees a ladder going up into heaven and beholds angels of God going up and down between heaven and earth and behold the Lord stood above it. Now listen to this promise: “I am the Lord God o …

Ephesians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” What an amazing truth to grasp this morning: God calls out unto you, you respond often as a choice we make, but it was God and is God that works in you. Paul writes unto the believ …

I sat here this morning, writing a poem, being reminded of the goodness of God toward mankind, and the promise of faith, the cornerstone of our faith. 1st Corinthians 3:11 says it well, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” We can rehearse the law all we want, but we must understand that no man is justified by the law. Do we not understand as it says in Galatians 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by f …

The glory of God is discovered each time we approach the throne of God. “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? And where isthe place of my rest? For all those thingshath mine own hand made, and all those thingshave been, saith the LORD: but to this manwill I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.” Isaiah 66:1 We so much need to humble ourselves before the Lord God Almig …

As I write this morning, I am thankful that God meets me each morning early most days, and I have an opportunity to fellowship with Him alone, before I face the day ahead. I am learning continually, that the admonition of the Lord is powerful in moments. A disciple, yes a disciple of Christ sits under the authority of the Savior who gives us those things we need in the Scriptures. We need to continue learning and understanding the things that belong to us that come by faith in Christ. The writer …

So often we have expectations that seem right in our own eyes, but God has other plans for us. David had detected that Saul had come to the wilderness of Ziph, with Abner and three thousand men. David sent out spies in 1st Samuel 26:4 and with Abner discovered the place where Saul lay. In verse 6 David said the Ahimelech, and Abishai, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp? Abishai …
