When you hear the word “work,” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? When I hear the word “work,” positive images pop into my mind. In part I believe that is because I grew up in a home where work was seen as a good thing. It was something I never heard my parents complain about. As I grew older, I started working for others, whether that was baling hay for area farmers or carrying out…

“My soul finds rest in God alone. My salvation is from him.”  (Psalm 62:1)   In the 1970s the Florida Department of Tourism ran a series of TV commercials that tried to convince people to make the “Sunshine State” a vacation destination. The commercials depicted people in various everyday scenes of hectic life — work piling up, kids arguing in the back seat of the car, a taxi not stopping for a…

With a rise in yet another variant of COVID, the discussion around vaccines is getting heated again. Around dinner tables, out in public, and even in the parking lots of our churches, people are divided about what they believe is the right answer. Nowhere is this battle more fervent, however, than on social media. People have lost friends and alienated loved ones over it. I’m not going to tell…

A. W. Tozer said, “When we allow God’s Word to go beyond our ears and into our hearts, it stimulates us to do that which God is calling us to do.” The God of the Bible, the God of the Christian faith, wants you to know him and put that knowledge into action.  In the beginning, when God created the world, he did something amazing.  He walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day.  He wanted…

“On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:2)   Hopefully not many readers of these devotions have had the experience of standing before a judge and testifying to “tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” If you have, these brief words give the judge your solemn word that what you…

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” (Colossians 3:16) I was recently reading Paul’s letter to the Colossians and had to stop and think about that verse. How does a word dwell in us richly? I wonder whether you have noticed that nearly every time the scriptures mention “success,” they relate it to one basic requirement. And this is not just “spiritual” success, but material, financial,…

With so many activities happening in the summer, a gradual move back to “normal,” and people going out again to do the things that they have been unable to do for almost two years, worship may once again take a back seat. Summer is upon us, and with the full swing into a summer season, I’d like to share a few words about summer worship. When I was in junior high school, I couldn’t wait until…

On the Fourth of July we celebrate Independence Day, the birth of our nation —“the land of the free and the home of the brave!” For many Americans, the Fourth of July provides an opportunity to watch parades and fireworks, hear “The The Star Spangled Banner,” and enjoy grilling out and spending fun times with friends and family. While it’s great to enjoy these wonderful traditions, it is also…
