“The Lord replied, ‘Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the Lord, or he will break out against them.’ So Moses went down to the people and told them.” — Exodus 19:24-25 (NIV84) Over the last couple days I […]
11/06/23 Daily Devotion – “I will sing to the Lord!”
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, […]
10/31/23 Daily Devotion – God simply wants us to remember it’s about His grace!
“This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.” (Exodus 13:9 NIV84) Sometimes we just have the wrong perspective when it comes to […]
06/30/23 Daily Devotion – A God of all comforts, because He cares!
“And so we came to Rome. The brothers there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these men Paul thanked God and was encouraged. When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by […]
06/15/23 Daily Devotion – “The word of His grace…”
“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32 NIV84) Grace, as we know, is used to describe God’s unilateral and unconditional love for us. He loves humanity because of His nature, not […]

“Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms […]

“Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners […]
05/21/23 Daily Devotion – Burdening the consciences of Christians is a dangerous thing!
“Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” Acts 15:10–11 (NIV84) Listen to […]
05/05/23 Daily Devotion – God does NOT show favoritism!
“Then Peter began to speak: ‘I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.’” (Acts 10:34, NIV84) This had to be tough to say. It came from a man who was raised in a culture of people who described themselves as God’s “chosen” people. When this encounter with Cornelius was over, Peter […]
03/15/23 Daily Devotion – Jesus did not die by crucifixion!
“Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ When he had said this, he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:46, NIV84) I get a lot of comfort from Jesus’ final statement from the cross.
