Confusion

by PH

I just read this morning about Samson. You know, the freakishly strong man who was brought down by a girl named Delilah? I’m not sure what the Bible is trying to teach through that man. I sat there and thought long and hard, “Why is this in the Bible?” It certainly doesn’t fit our Christian […]

God Uses Dirty Cups

by PH

Would God ever use dirty vessels (cups)? You’ve heard it said, “God uses clean vessels. Therefore, clean up your life if you want to be used by God!” I’m sure I’ve said that too. But it’s not biblical. God uses dirty vessels too! Example? Abraham. Moses. David. Gideon. etc. “But they are examples of clean […]

As1 Devotional – Recalling and appreciating Jesus

by LD

Good afternoon everyone, Luke 15:16-And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. I try and recall moments when the people I love the most were there for me at times when no one was. My wife Ange in my adult life has been […]

Sorrow and Joy

by PH

How would you describe the state of your mind these days? Worried? Bored? Numb? Bipolar? Happy? If you are a Christian, then it should be “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.” “What? How can that be? You are either sorrowful or rejoicing but not both at the same time!” you might protest. But if you understand human […]

As1 Devotional – Owning your peace

by LD

Good morning everyone, Matthew 10:13-And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. Jesus sent out His disciples into villages to announce the Kingdom. Yet Jesus knew everyone wouldn’t receive their message peacefully. That is why Jesus told them to […]

Empty Wells

by PH

If God is so great and so satisfying, then why are so many people looking for satisfaction elsewhere? That is a question I’ve been pondering upon for a while now. As I look around myself, I see worshipers everywhere. As a matter of fact, every person on earth is a worshiper. Many worship football – […]

If You Didn’t Wake Up in Hell This Morning…

by PH

If you didn’t wake up in hell this morning, be happy! If you are reading this devotional, then a few things are true: 1. You are not in hell. 2. You have a device on which to read this which makes you a middle class American. 3. You have interest in spiritual things. All of […]

As1 Devotional – The danger of rehearsing pain

by LD

Good morning everyone, 1 Kings 19:5-7 -And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, "Arise and eat." And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank […]

God Who Accommodates

by PH

It’s easy to think that God is rigid. He is God after all and His way is always right. Therefore, He should never have to accommodate. He just tells us what to do and we should go and do it. Right? So I used to think… But I see God as someone who accommodates for […]
