The Gift of the Holy Spirit; March 31, 2026
Luke 11:13 “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” The verses ahead of this … Continue reading

Joy; March 30, 2026
Luke 10:20 “However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” I don’t think at all that Jesus is forbidding us to rejoice over spiritual triumphs. He is rather telling … Continue reading

Perception; March 19, 2026
Matthew 28:9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Matthew gets the story slightly scrambled, but he does have Mary Magdalene grabbing Jesus’ feet. John, in chapter 20, gives a bit more … Continue reading

Last Days; March 17, 2026
Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.” In the verses following, Jesus really lays it on the line. No believer can honestly say, “This isn’t what I signed up for.” This fits perfectly with the very succinct … Continue reading

Legalism; February 13, 2026
Isaiah 28:12 to whom he said, “This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;and, “This is the place of repose”— but they would not listen. This is frankly a sad, depressing passage. This was spoken to people long ago, but there … Continue reading

Morning Devotions; February 2, 2026
Psalm 119:147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word. There are many Bible passages, particularly in the Psalms, that speak of seeking God early in the morning. It’s a simple fact of human … Continue reading

Trusting God; December 20, 2025
Luke 1:18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.” I have heard various discussions as to the difference between Zechariah’s response to Gabriel and … Continue reading

Wants vs. Needs; October 29, 2025
Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. This verse gets quoted a great deal, both appropriately and inappropriately. The big sticking point is the simple word, need. We have … Continue reading
