I’ve had a song rolling around in my head for days. It’s the theme song “Human” (Rag’n’BoneMan) for the new movie “Thank You For Your Service,” (lyrics below), which we’re planning to see. I’m so glad to see all the ‘hero’ movies coming out that show us all the risk our soldiers, law enforcers, fire-fighters,… Read more »

God is Judging His Own Children
Judges 19 and 20 In these days Israel had no king. The Israelites inquired of God for His leadership through God’s priests and prophets. They followed God’s laws. They were not perfect men with their obedience, like we are not perfect in obeying God’s Word, but God was faithful to bring them into Canaan… Read more »
Our Feet
Ephesians 6:15 “…and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” Have we ever thought about the important role our feet play in everyday life? Our feet touch the ground whenever we are standing, walking or running and they are an extension of your legs, which help move… Read more »
Righteousness
Ephesians 6:14 “….put on the breastplate of righteousness.” Another important piece of our armor is the breastplate because it protects the vital organs of the body. Often the Old Testament writers would use the names of different organs to express feelings, affection, etc. This is the reason why the breastplate of righteousness is so… Read more »

Devotional
This morning in my quiet time with God, these verse came out to me with a thought: “This is why we have what we have in America today.” Children brought up without discipline, who believe everything they are told by their teachers, the media, the government, etc. They are lazy, irresponsible and demanding; expecting everything… Read more »
Take and Keep Your Stand
Ephesians 6:11-15 “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore… Read more »
In a time like this
In my time in the Word (Judges) I read how the king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s question to him: “What do you have against me that you have attacked my country?” Jephthah asked. (Judges 11:12) For 18 years the Israelites were oppressed by the Philistines and the Ammonites because ‘once again’ the Lord’s… Read more »
Persecution of Christ’s Body
“When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and recognized that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13 “Children are particularly persecuted. Persecutors know the way to win – is to win the new generation. Persecutors are terrified of the Bible.” (Quoting… Read more »
