We all know the story of the prodigal son and how the son wants his inheritance, and when he gets it he goes off and squanders all his money on living… The 15th chapter of the gospel of Luke is about repentance. The story of the son is about him getting what he thought heContinue reading “Prodigal Son verses Loving Father”

Let’s get ready to Worship…
How many of you got up this morning and said to yourself or your family, “We need to get ready to go to church.”? How, may I ask, can you go someplace that is in existence where you are? The church is not a building where you go to have a service, or a buildingContinue reading “Let’s get ready to Worship…”
Do you have a clean desk?
A clean desk is the sign of completed work, of having all your ducks in a row… A clean desk is the sign that there is no more work to do, or a sign that we are ready to take on the world… My devotion for this morning included a thought on how the writerContinue reading “Do you have a clean desk?”
What do we show the world?
What is it the world sees when they think of or look for the Christian Church? Is it the boundless love we give? Is it the calm in the storm? Is it the grace that flows freely from the throne of God? Is it political fights and hypocritical people that see specks in spite ofContinue reading “What do we show the world?”
Lent – a journey of a lifetime
It is interesting to me, we put so much thought and time into what we are doing for Lent before Ash Wednesday. We think about what to give up or should we do something extra, a new discipline, to help us grow closer to God… How many of us though are still doing it? IContinue reading “Lent – a journey of a lifetime”
S.O.P.
What is the S.O.P.? Standard Operating Procedures. What are they for us? What is the standard that all of life is to hing upon and work from? Well that depends on your focus and where you come from. It could depend on your upbringing, or your training as a child/young adult. Where are you fromContinue reading “S.O.P.”
What is the Problem?
Ask my daughters, this is one of my favorite phrases! We always want to know what is wrong so we can fix it. If we know what the problem is than we can figure out a way to make the problem go away. This is really the way we work in society now. If somethingContinue reading “What is the Problem?”
Free From God
Is there a place one can go to be free from God? One of my devotions for today is titled A Vacuum of Absence. It spoke about creation and how creation was started by God’s word, but this is not the end of God’s involvement. God spoke the world into being, but God continues toContinue reading “Free From God”
Step out of the boat…
I know a lot of people who are faithful people. A lot of people who have faith in God to be there and protect them. Even if you do not have faith in God, you have faith in someone, a spouse, a parent, a friend. There is probably someone in your life you know youContinue reading “Step out of the boat…”
20/20 Spiritual Vision
I have worn glasses as long as I can remember. I did wear contacts for a while, but I have given that up, and now just wear the glasses. Without them I can not see everything clearly. Images are fuzzy, and if I am not close enough to things I can not read them. SomeContinue reading “20/20 Spiritual Vision”
