God Can Make Your Sins As White As Snow
Mark it down on your calendar. You and I lived to see it. Yesterday, February 12, 2010 there was snow on the ground in all 50 states in the United States of America for the first time in recorded history.
This is very significant especially to all those who have been predicting the end of the [...]
We Live Like Our Obedience To God Is Optional
The Hebrew people revered the name of God and feared breaking the third commandment of taking God’s name in vain so seriously that they worked out a system which prevented them from ever saying His name.
“You shall not take the name of the Lord [YHWH] your God in vain, for the Lord [YHWH] [...]
We Make Sharing Our Faith Too Complicated
Often when I encourage Christians to share their faith with their friends, family and co-workers I am told: “If only I knew how, I would.” A Christian shares their faith in Christ in precisely the same manner that they tell their friends or family members about any other good news which they have discovered.

The Apostle Paul Would Not Recognize Most Of American Christianity
A friend of mine who does research for a living told me of a conversation he recently had with a professional pollster. The pollster knew that my friend was a Southern Baptist. He told him that his company had developed a new strategy for checking the margin of error in results which also doubled for [...]
God Has a Personal Name And It Is Yahweh
How well do you think you know God? Do you think it is possible for anyone to know His name? Is His name God? It might shock you to know that according to the Scripture we can know His name.

Have you ever been amused by a child who has yet to realize that you know the truth about that which they are desperately trying to convince you otherwise. It is precisely on such occasions with my own sons that cause me to understand the curse which heredity can be. Whether they were toddlers, [...]
Martyrdom
The great encourager in the New Testament is Barnabas. After the beginning of his missionary journey with John Mark the Biblical record falls silent concerning him.
39 And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, Acts 15:39 (ESV)
The Bible does not [...]
True Wealth
I did not write today’s devotion. It was written by one of the deacons in my church who is also a Sunday school teacher. He wrote this in response to a lesson he had taught to his Sunday school class. I hope you are blessed by it as much as I was. After reading his [...]
So You Think You Are Not Good Enough For God To Use You
The cry of the Haitian people is, “Eske ou ka ede nou, souple? “ (Can you help, please?)
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. . . . Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he [...]
Assessing Our Own Generosity
I have learned that many of the things I once thought I knew were wrong. One of the principles I have misunderstood deals with generosity. I had always thought that I was generous. When I had something someone else needed I was always willing to give. Upon further reflection I have come to understand that [...]
