“He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.” (James 1:18, NIV84) Does truth really matter? Isn’t it alright for you to have your truth and for me to have my truth? Can’t we be the definers of what truth is? Those […]
04/12/22 Daily Devotion – The connection between love and truth!
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” (1 Corinthians 13:6, NIV84) We have been looking at the biblical concept of truth for weeks now.

04/03/22 Daily Devotion – Truth or blasphemy?
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58, NIV84) Here is another amazing truth statement of Jesus. He claims in the verse above to have existed before Abraham was born. More than that, He claims to be the great “I AM.” He claims to be God. He began the […]

02/25/22 Daily Devotion – We must walk by faith — our sight is too deceptive!
“They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.” — Psalm 119:87 (NIV) One of my favorite memory verses is 2 Corinthians 5:7, “We walk by faith and not by sight.” This is such an essential quality of the Christian faith.

02/21/22 Daily Devotion – God’s Word reveals true love!
“The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees.” (Psalm 119:64, NIV) There were times in my life when I concluded that God’s Word, in the end, was just a bunch of dos and don’ts — page after page of statutes and requirements that need to be adhered to. When I looked […]
