As 1 Devotional-Learning not to trust ourselves

by LD

Good morning afternoon, John 16:13-When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. Reality T.V. is attractive because we see people who […]

Hiding Place

by PH

What is your hiding place? We all have one. When you are stressed, depressed, scared, where does your mind go to find that place of refuge? Many will think about their own children – “At least I have my children to comfort me.” Many will think about their retirement – “One day I can leave […]

As 1 Devotional-Regaining Intensity for Jesus

by LD

Philippians 3:14,15-I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you You soon realize in […]

Unfairness of the Typhoon

by PH

It is infuriating to see that the wicked prosper and the good suffer. Why is it that those who are striving to live for the honor of God suffer in silence and loneliness but those who have no care for God and only live for themselves are prosperous and become famous? Where is the justice […]

As 1 Devotional-When venting turns to prayer

Good morning everyone 1 Corinthians 2:11-12-For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him?

Confidence

When I was in High School, kids were categorized into the jocks, the nerds, the ASB, the pretties, and the losers. Now that I live in a real world, I see that it’s still like that. There are the athletes, the business moguls, the politicians, the movie stars, and the rest of us… Although the […]

Winning the Battle

by PH

One way we know we are growing in Christ is that our spiritual self is becoming more dominant over our physical self. We have physical desires that are natural and necessary for survival (eating, drinking, sex). However, as we grow in Christ, our spiritual desires to be like Christ, to find pleasure in Him, to […]

As 1 devotional-When support is not there

by LD

Mark 14:37-Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? If you ever experienced intense moments of heartache, sickness, or loneliness of some kind, and you desired support from a person and just couldn’t find any, such moments make […]

Colorism & Double-Eyelids

by PH

I learned a new word this week – “Colorism.” It is discrimination based on skin color. Usually prevalent among colored people (non-whites), those who are of fair skin color are preferred over those who are dark skinned. In other words, the only thing that determines a perceived value of a person is her skin color. […]

As 1 devotional-Converging “wills” and true love

by LD

Good morning everyone, Mark 14:36-And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Have you ever wondered why relationships struggle to see "eye to eye", or come into an agreement? We walk away from arguments wondering why the person […]
