As 1-holiness is always humble

by PH

Good morning everyone, Psalm 18:26-with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. One of the things that frustrates me in wanting to defend Christians is the perception of the world’s idea of holiness. Thinking that Christians ought to be perfect and not display any marks of humanity. […]

Father’s Love

by PH

My kids are growing up entirely too fast. Every morning, I wake up Sennah and carry her to the bathroom for her to get ready for school. I could barely lift her up off the bed she’s gotten so big… Soon, she won’t want to be carried and will be more into her friends than […]

Choose Happiness

by PH

Christians should be among the happiest people – regardless of the circumstances! Are you a Christian? Are you happy? No? Then, there is something wrong…. Not that that means you are not a Christian, but you are not enjoying the full blessing of God. If you are filled with the spirit of Jesus, then you […]

As 1 devotional: how you envision, through fear or faith?

by LD

Isaiah 52:12-2 You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you; yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind. I believe there only two "lenses" in which to move forward in life, fear or faith. Fear can be a greater motivator than we […]

The Meaning of the Kingdom (Joyana)

by PH

These days I’ve been wondering what it means to possess the kingdom of heaven now on this earth in this life. I think so many Christians are struggling through this life and waiting for eternity to know what it means to live a prosperous life, but I don’t think that is biblical. Jesus came and […]

As 1 devotional: In Christ, nothing is wasted

by LD

Good morning everyone, Galatians 3:4-Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? The apostle Paul had such a love of Christ for His people that it caused him great grief that they were moving away from faith in Christ to no faith at all. The apostle knew that when his […]

New Homes!

by PH

Many of our church families have recently moved into new homes. I’m so very happy for them as I sense their excitement over their new place! It reminded me of how happy Janet and I were when we first moved into our current house 8 years ago. We are still very thankful for our home […]

The Worth of a Finger

by PH

I did something stupid. While cutting the lawn, I put my hand near the lawnmower blade to clear away stuck grass while it was still running! The blade hit my index finger, and I instinctively withdrew it. For a split second, I dreaded looking at my finger fearing that it might not be there! But […]

As 1 devotional: Parenting & the gospel

by LD

Good morning everyone, Lamentations 3:32-33-but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men. Yesterday evening probably served as one of the greatest opportunities I have had to show my son the love of Jesus Christ […]
