Do you ever choose not to share the gospel or talk about what Jesus has done for you with others due to a fear of someone being offended? We’ve all been there. We have all done this in our life, perhaps more often than we wish to admit. Have you also not felt like getting into it with certain people? God would be urging us to speak to them but we chose not to for whatever reason. Often because we were having a good time and we didn’t want to chance making that turn to a

Are we too busy to read our bible, too busy to pray on a regular basis? Do we find every excuse to not go to church, Do we only make time for God when we are in need or when tragedy and trials strike? Do we too often when given the option choose, sports, fun at the lake, time with friends, shopping or sleep instead of giving God the praise, worship and devotion that He so deserves? We all have done this to some degree or another. With how we all put God on our back burner,

Lamentations 3:22-24 “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him."

To reach every mountain top you must travel through a valley. It is easy to be grateful to God when you are shouting from the mountain tops. The valley that we all endure at some point in life are what we call adversities. It is during those t

The Water’s Edge

Have you ever sat by the water’s edge and felt the peaceful surroundings? You can feel serenity when being near the rushing waves along an oceans beach, lying by the sunny seaside, boating in a lake cove, sitting along a bank beside a lake or just watching the water run across the pebbles in a creek bed. It is easy to sense the tranquility that the water brings if you open your heart to its glistening qualities.

In John 7:37-39 Jesus spoke about “living wate

We all face trials in life and sometimes those trials may bring us battles we are afraid to face. Life’s trials may bring with it many temptations to go against God’s truth. We have choices, we can give into those fears, let the battle consume us, let the temptations break us or...we can run to God and allow Him to lead the battle and trust Him to arm us with what we need to win. 

We must beware of those who cheer us on as we travel down paths that differ from God’s word. W

We are the branches, Jesus is The Vine

What is our relationship with Jesus really like? What is it supposed to be like? We are given a clear example in John 15:1-17. "I am the true vine, you are the branches" Grape orchards were quite common in the hills and valleys of Israel back in biblical days. Give this thought for a moment. Jesus is the source of what we need as nutrients. He is The Vine He sinks His roots into the ground to gather all we need. Water, nutrients, etc a

Every year we often say “I can’t believe it is already Christmas time again”. Here we are again with Christmas just around the corner.  Thinking about this time of the year brought forth a thought of when we have our children. With each birth we think that child is different from other babies, extra special. Once there was a baby born who truly was different from all other babies ever birthed. His name wasn’t chosen by His parents because God named Him. An angel appeared t

Tasting Life

We have annual festivals in many areas and oftentimes local restaurants will have a booth or set up a table offering tastes of their specialities. The owners of those restaurants and their Chefs hope that by tasting their food it will entice us to try more of their recipes. They invite us to come, taste and see for ourselves how good their food is. In Psalms 34:8 David said “O taste and see that the Lord is good…” He continues to express how he sought the Lord

Let us Pray and Continue Always To Pray

We are encouraged to pray for others in church, for missionaries and different people from our lives. Often we are asked to commit to a prayer vigil for a person, a missionary, a situation and many churches have a prayer list. Sometimes we hesitate to make prayer commitments because we are not sure that we will be able to live up to it. We ask ourselves will we remember to pray every day? It isn’t that we don’t want to, we’re obviousl

As we prepare for the Christmas season, be reminded of the hope and peace this time brings. Isaiah 9:6 tells us: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."This verse is a reminder that our Savior came into this world to bring us peace. Amid the busyness of ministry and life in general, it’s easy to feel the weight of resp

Loving Jesus. We say we love Jesus, we often whisper it in prayer, say it when singing a hymn, when arriving or leaving church, when looking upon a cross or perhaps when taking communion. The phrase is said by most of us often enough. We say “I Love You” to our children and they say it to us. We say it to our spouse or a boyfriend, girlfriend or friend But what about “I Love You Jesus?” What if Jesus is waiting for us to say that to Him, how long would He have to wait to h

How many of us have ever had someone stab us in the back? A family member? A friend? A coworker? Another Christian Or even a complete stranger? And how did we feel when they very first did so?

Our first reaction was likely shock and anger, followed by a sense of hurt, resentment & disillusionment. In our younger day, we might’ve thought of *revenge tactics* to get back at them. But in our older day, we slowly come to realize that two wrongs don’t make a right and also that

Daily Devotion; December 8, 2024

Not one of us are perfect by any stretch and we all have made mistakes in our life, taking the wrong path and it never ends well when we do that. Life experiences teach us that we must evaluate our thoughts and actions to be careful that they’re anchored to God’s word at all times. If we feel God is telling us something we must put it up against His Word, The Bible. Remember that God’s Voice to us will never contradict His written Word. When we believe God is speaking to o
