As1 Devotional-“Wooed” by His Love

by LD

Good afternoon everyone, Hosea 11:4 -I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them. It’s amazing how humble the Lord is and sends what we need. But sometimes we […]

Jesus as the CEO?

by PH

Jesus would have made a terrible CEO if He lived in our day. Rather than advertising Himself and sensationalizing His works, He kept some of His greatest works private. Example: Matt 8:3, “Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I’m willing,’ he said. ‘Be Clean!’ Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. Then […]

Bizarre Behaviors

by PH

“Our (Christians’) problem isn’t that we don’t have God in our lives (We do). Our problem is that He is one among many!” This thought hit me like a brick this morning as I was reading bizarre happenings in the latter part of the Book of Judges. It involves stealing from family, Las Vagas style […]

As1 Devotional-Nothing to prove but His will and purpose

by LD

Good morning everyone, Matthew 27:41-42-So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. There are times in our walk with God that the […]

Peace, Security, & Prosperity

by PH

Perhaps as a reaction against prosperity gospel, we have gone too far denouncing peace, security, and prosperity. We have made it sound like we are against those things and it’s evil to seek after those things. But the Bible again is our faithful guide pulling us to have a correct and balanced view on things. […]

As1 Devotional-Anchoring your love

by LD

Good morning everyone, John 2:24-25-But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. Probably the greatest thing about love is being connected with people who share with us the delight and […]

Ask, Seek, Knock

by PH

It matters how we ask, does it not? Janet and I often correct our children when they ask with a wrong attitude. They might say the right thing, but if their attitude is such that they are taking things for granted, then they will NOT get what they ask. We do not want our kids […]

How Silly!

by PH

If this era we are living in were in the Bible, I wonder how it would be described? What are our gods? What are our spiritual conditions? What are we missing? We read that about the Israelites aplenty in the Bible. I know whenever we come across a Bible passage, we just skim through. But […]

As1 Devotional-Good but joyless

by LD

Good morning everyone, Matthew 19:16,20-22 16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?…20-22 The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what […]

Spoiled Appetite

by PH

Ever told your kids not to snack on sweets before a meal? Or you remember being told that as a youngster. Why? Because sweets will ruin their appetite and they won’t want to eat a good, nutritious meal. Ever seen kids that only snacked and didn’t eat good meals? Did they look healthy to do? […]
