“We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.” (1 Cor. 8:1-3 NIV84) Jesus claimed that the religious leaders and Pharisees knew and taught […]
07/03/2023 Daily Devotion – It’s time to boast!
“Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.’” (1 Corinthians 1:31 NIV84) It’s time to boast and take pride in our Christian faith. We have a God like no other religion on the planet. Seriously, the God of the Scriptures is not like any other god of any other religion […]
05/02/23Daily Devotion – God reaches out to the faithful!
“One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, ‘Cornelius!’ Cornelius stared at him in fear. ‘What is it, Lord?’ he asked. The angel answered, ‘Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering […]
03/05/23 Daily Devotion – A reason for continual thanksgiving!
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say this.” (Psalm 107:1-2 NIV84) I want to make it clear that although we have one day a year called Thanksgiving, thanksgiving is not something we should do just once a year! Do you know what […]
01/12/2023 Daily Devotion – ‘…but you were not willing!’
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Luke 13:34, NIV84) When Jesus spoke these words Jerusalem was the religious capital of Judaism and had […]
10/21/2022 Daily Devotion – We are called to love, not judge!
“But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give […]
10/05/22 Daily Devotion – God provides hope in the misery of this life!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, NIV84) Today, I take a break from the devotional study on the Gospel of Luke to address what’s heavy on my heart and mind […]
09/30/22 Daily Devotion – The shepherds aren’t the only witnesses!
“When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had […]
08/20/22 Daily Devotion – We must live lives of love and humility!
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” (Philippians 2:3-4 NIV) It is no wonder that the sinful side of the world we live in just doesn’t get Christians and Christianity. […]
08/12/22 Daily Devotion – Wisdom and love do go together!
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ — to the […]
