A Cup Of Water To Drink… How often do we serve others with a heart of gratitude? How many of us get the opportunity to build a kitchen, in the middle of the forest with no running water, no electricity and none of the modern conveniences? Building a kitchen, literally, from the ground up, which will prove to be the only large scale kitchen to serve approximately 700 people a day for three days, is a task that is not for the faint of heart. Gathering wood, water and cooking…

A Good Name Is Better… What does reality actually look like? How do we live in the reality of this life? What does reality mean to most of us? In a recent Daily Devotional we discussed how the job, the work, that we do should be a form of worship. How we should remain in a posture of worship that is to be a service to God, not our employer. We should approach the task we perform with the same manner of gladness and joy as we would approach a…

Dress It And To Keep It… When most of us awaken Monday mornings we prepare to go off to work. This would mean a variety of different skills, task and actions. A person could be a fireman, waiter, a teacher, a plumber, musician, electrician, pilot, whatever form your professional life takes it is something that was chosen for a reason. Could be something to fill the time. Could be something that makes your heart sing. Could be something that one believes has to be done in order to put food…

Thou Shalt Know Hereafter… Most of the people we encounter probably have a little Simon Peter in them. At times we think we know something when, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Remember John the Baptist argued with Jesus when Jesus arrived at the Jordan to be baptized. John, mistakenly, believed that Jesus Christ should baptize him when the exact opposite was the truth. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto…

Jesus Cried And Said… Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. ~ John 12:30 KJB Let those Words sit on your heart for just a moment…Jesus cried…then He spoke to the Disciples. Jesus is speaking to the Disciples, the followers, the believers, the people that follow His Word…The Word of God. The breath of life. The Great I Am is speaking to the Disciples as He is crying. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but…

From Sin To Salvation… Sometimes when studying the Holy Bible there is something that happens in our heart, mind and soul. Today is one of those days. After setting out to write about the the laborers and the harvest everything changed as Matthew 9 began to unfold. What a beautiful chapter. It’s as if the whole story of moving from a sinner to redeemed to becoming a fully known child of God happens in a mere 38 verses. We all have time to read 38 verses, especially if it will…

If He Should Come In The Second Watch… When Jesus Christ comes will He find us waiting for His return or will He find us reviewing the football teams stats? Or out for another run? Or somewhere in the shadows watching pornography, taking drugs or at the strip club? Where will Jesus Christ find us when He returns? This is a question that should be on our hearts at all times. This is the question that should make our feet to take the next step, our eyes to see the…

Things Which Are Not Seen Are Eternal… The light of the Lord shines through this broken vessel to light the path ahead and to light the path for those to come. It is provided by our Lord, Jesus Christ, that we may find our way and that we may have Light eternal. Our responsibility to Jesus Christ is to be on mission, to share the Light with others. We are not to be hoarders of the Light but rather spreaders of His Light. We are to shine with His glory,…

He Told It To His Brothers… The Holy Spirit moves in our lives during all times of the day and night. When we retire for the evening requesting the Holy Spirit to teach us as we sleep can be helpful to having a closer, deeper relationship with the Lord our God. This is a practice that has started over the past several weeks and upon waking the day is usually in a more peaceful place, deeper rest and more active dream life. We learn, throughout the Holy Bible, the importance…

The Sand Of The Sea… When we find favor in our Lord God, what are we to do? Are we to change our entire life, divide our family, our wealth and our friends in order to protect them from the wrath of God because of our sin? If we sin before God what should the price of our sin be for our family, friends and wealth? Should these areas of our life suffer along with us or should they be spared? Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he…
