Standards set…
This morning I participated in a Bible Study on Acts chapter 6. We talked about the appointment of the 7 to do service for the widows and those who were being overlooked. In doing this we took a side step to talk about the apostles… The apostles took it upon themselves to create, or continue,Continue reading “Standards set…”
Passion Show
My devotion for this morning was about following Jesus and doing the commandments. Even today we hear the call of Jesus just as Peter, James, John did from the show line. Can you hear it echoing, “Come and Follow Me.” Come and leave your safe life behind. I want you to go to place andContinue reading “Passion Show”
Purging Passion
Josiah was king. He was also 8. Josiah though had a passion for the God of his father David, that caused him to become enraged by idols and false gods that would take away from his time and worship of the real God. Idols in Josiah’s time were easy to spot and take down, andContinue reading “Purging Passion”
A forgiveness explosion
Isn’t it interesting that we forget about others it seems and focus only on ourselves? I mean, look at Jesus. No really look at Jesus. He cried out in the garden, the night before his death, “if it is possible, remove this cup from me…” I don’t want to do it, I do not thinkContinue reading “A forgiveness explosion”

If prayer is a necessity for you, maybe some reevaluation needs to happen. In an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon’s Lectures To My Students he speaks about prayer, and ourContinue reading “Necessity of Prayer”

Have we forgotten our first love?
Revelation chapter 2 starts the writings to the 7 churches and it starts with the church in Ephesus. Oh to be like one in Ephesus.
