Today I read Jeremiah 1-3 for my devotions. As you read through the Old Testament, you’ll see Israel’s history. They spent their lives walking with God and turning to idols, God corrected them, they’d come back to Him for a bit, and then back to their idols, and the cycle continued. They didn’t seem to… Continue reading A Past-Tense Testimony

Wrongfully Imprisoned
When was the last time you read through Genesis and studied the life of Joseph? If it’s been awhile, I want to encourage you to take the time to read it. Joseph was put into prison after Potiphar's wife lied about him making inappropriate advances toward her. As any husband would do, he threw Joseph… Continue reading Wrongfully Imprisoned
As Unto the Lord
When you hear, “as unto the Lord,” what do you think of? This is one of those phrases we don’t have to look deeply into Greek or Hebrew to discover a theological, earth-shattering meaning. It simply means to do things as if you’re doing them for God. Because, in reality, we are. Everything is part… Continue reading As Unto the Lord
Freedom in the Fire
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16 Lukewarm Christianity. What does that really mean/look like?

Sometimes life gets so hard and you don’t know what to do next. But being faithful gives you those answers. Make the coffee. Read your Bible. Go to… Continue reading Maybe Being Faithful Truly is the Answer
God’s Call On Our Lives
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9.) “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto… Continue reading God’s Call On Our Lives
Hid In Christ
I recently read, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1-3.) I looked up… Continue reading Hid In Christ
Your Ideal Home
What would you say if I were to ask you to describe your ideal home? Do you envision a house and a yard? You may want a garden, a barn full of animals, or a perfectly manicured yard with a fence and a pond. What about the inside? Is it an open floor plan and… Continue reading Your Ideal Home
Conviction or Convenience?
The word conviction is no stranger to Christian circles. We often say that we came under conviction and realized our need for salvation, or that we have a conviction against some sin or habit that we feel is wrong. I want to ask if you truly have a conviction on something, or if it is… Continue reading Conviction or Convenience?
