“In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” (Luke […]
09/13/22 Daily Devotion – May your spirit be touched by God’s grace!
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.” (Philippians 4:23, NIV84) Here the Apostle Paul ends his letter to the Philippian church. I am sure it is no surprise that he ends it on the theme of grace. Could there be a more suitable ending from the man whose entire ministry […]

“I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.” (Philippians 4:2, NASB95) Many of you may know, and for those who don’t, I can’t sing. At least not well. Not even in the shower :-). But I sure admire those who can. And when a group of people sing together […]

08/22/22 Daily Devotion – The character of our God sets Christianity apart!
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even […]
08/11/22 Daily Devotion – He is with us, not just on Sundays!
“…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6, NIV84) Most every single day, the most comforting thing for my personal walk with God is that I am not alone. I know for certain that it is […]
