On Being Rejected

by PH

Have you been rejected? I’m sure you have. I have, too. How did it feel? But have you been rejected over and over and over? I’m beginning to know what that feels like… But there is another person who knows very well how that feels. Jesus. He was rejected over and over and over. But […]

As1 Devotional-Taking God at His Word

by LD

Good morning everyone, Acts 27:23-25-For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship, and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ So take heart, men, for […]

The Darkest Hour is Before Dawn

by PH

“The darkest hour is just before dawn.” I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase. I’m not sure if scientifically that’s true, but it holds a lot of water when it comes to God dealing with us. The hour was very dark for Israel during the rule of the last of the judges. The priests themselves were […]

God Is Self-Centered and I’m Glad!

by PH

I went to the University Place’s Community Group meeting yesterday. It was several ladies from our church meeting at Lupe’s house over coffee and snacks. It was a great time of being frank and open about where they had been and how the Lord brought them out of the mire they were in. In the […]

Good morning everyone, Genesis 32:24-25-And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. If you read maybe […]

Have You Spanked Your Child Today?

As1 Devotional- “seeing” God through limitations

by LD

Good morning everyone, Jeremiah 1:11,12-And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" And I said, "I see an almond branch." Then the Lord said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it." If you read the first 10 verses leading […]

Creating the “Right” Environment

by PH

Parents are very concerned about the environment in which our children are raised. We do everything we can to create an environment our children can thrive in. We give them every opportunity for them to be exposed to various things so that they can pick and choose later on what they are really good at. […]

Wanna Come Along?

by PH

Wanna come along? I can promise you a life of loneliness, destitute, affliction, persecution, ridicule, perplexity, and dark tunnels. “Why on earth would I want to come along for those?” you ask. You get Christ. Choose what lies before you: 1. Life on earth and all its niceties. or 2. Christ and identifying with Him […]

As1 Devotional-Surprisingly “top heavy”

by LD

Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 15:45-46-Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. Though the phrase, "you can be so heavenly minded (supposedly) that you are no earthly […]
