And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. ~Matthew 4:18-20 KJB Simon called Peter…what is happening here?

Strategy vs History… All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, ~II Timothy 3:16 NKJB Each Daily Devotional, for more than a year, we have placed at the bottom the following statement… Either the Gospel is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.

How To Speak… How many times have been speaking with someone who doesn’t speak our language and we find ourselves using the accent of the other and pronouncing a word using their accent? A word like “nature” or “sand” or “glass” but instead of attempting to say the word in the native language we simply speak a word, usually slowly, with their accent – for example, Spanish. No, it’s just me that’s done this? hmmmm. Would it be that we do this with God? We are attempting to speak with…

Know What To Know… How do I know what to know? How do I know what to know what to do? ~Jamie Winship Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.

Daily Vows… During our wedding ceremony vows were read, one to another. Having written vows from the heart we had them framed and hung in the family room. What a great way to honor the commitment made to one another before God, family and community? While this is a high honor it doesn’t go far enough. Vows should be renewed everyday. Vows are a sacred commitment, desire to be who God wants us to be towards another person. Unless we live these vows, everyday, we are not living up to…

Ignoring The Crowd… The past 11 years the news has been a driving force in everyday life. Operating a news website means keeping a finger on the pulse of what is happening. Being in the mix all the time. Watching patterns, watching cycles and reporting on the days events. If you’ve not tried to study news, research news, analyze news and report news it becomes an all consuming effort. After 11 years of looking into the abyss the abyss has begun looking back. Beginning in March 2021 we began fasting…

The God Who Speaks… You have to live it – you can not study it. What we have lost is our Christ identity. When God wants to speak to you does He call you by a political party affiliation, your job title or something else? What does God call you when He has something to say to you?

Conference of Witnesses for The Greatest Commandment… Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.” “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after…

Witness To The World… Are you missionary or a witness? Are you a prayer or a doer? Are you a minister or hearer? God wants us to witness to His wonders, to His great love for us and for His one and only Son whom He gave the world to show His mercy, grace and love for His children. We all have a story. We all have something to share, the sad part is most do not share. The sad part is this is one of the greatest reasons we…
