“Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about Aaron and said to him, ‘Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become […]
05/29/23 Daily Devotion – Is Christianity Reasonable?
“While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.” Acts 17:16–17 (NIV84) The Spirit […]
05/06/23 Daily Devotion – ‘Then I remembered what the Lord said!’
“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as He had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift as He gave us, who believed […]
03/16/23 Daily Devotion – Something’s wrong!
“When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away.” (Luke 23:48, NIV84) Jesus had given up His life. The three hours of darkness had ended. The cursing, shouting and accusations had stopped. What seemed to have been a tsunami of rage and emotion […]
03/07/23 Daily Devotion – Sometimes we don’t want to hear the answer to our own question!
“They all asked, ‘Are you then the Son of God?’ He replied, ‘You are right in saying that I am!’” (Luke 22:70) This verse frustrates me so much! It’s like when Pilate was standing with Jesus and asked, “What is truth?” to the One who is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. In […]

“It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.” (Luke 16:17, NIV84) There seems to be a lot of debate in Christian circles today about what the Word of God is. I mean, how much of the Bible is God’s Word, […]
06/10/22 Daily Devotion – The calling on our heart comes from God’s heart, not ours!
“The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” (Jonah 1:1–2, NIV84) Today we begin a series of devotions on the book of Jonah. There is much to be discovered in this short little […]
06/09/22 Daily Devotion – What kingdom has dominion over you?
“Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.” (Psalm 119:133, NASB95) Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world. This statement from Jesus implies two things. First, that there are kingdoms seeking/exercising dominion. Second, that Jesus’ kingdom is different from the ones of this world. […]
10/20/2020 Daily Devotion – ‘Here I stand!’
“Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, ‘Do not go beyond what is written.’ Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.” (1 Corinthians 4:6 NIV84) “Here I stand!” This was the […]
