In my worship this morning I finished reading 2/3 Johns and 1 Peter 1. And as I finished reading 1 Peter 1 I realized that I wasn’t really awake, yet, and I had no comprehension whatsoever of what I was reading! So, I got up from my comfy rocker and went and made a warm…

The following is simply a “post” stumbled upon on Facebook. I have placed it here unedited. There is more that I would add. But, nothing I would subtract. As we raise our children, let us be firm, but kind; loving, but not pandering; supportive, but not unrealistic; godly, not worldly. “As a pediatric therapist for…

Good Morning friends and family! I hope and pray your Christmas has gone well. That you all are safe and in good health. Hopefully you have been able to recharge your batteries and to reconnect with God as your busy family life has slowed down for a week or two. In this devotional I want…

Do we really need a special day in order to remember to give thanks to the Lord? No, of course not! His mercies are ever in front of us! And our worship spills out of our lips and hands; are expressed in our song and in our service. And yet, God knows how short is…

Our attention and imagination have always been…

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (The Message)By yourself you’re unprotected.With a friend you can face the worst.Can you round up a third?A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped. The kingdom of heaven is like a camping trip. The first thing we need to do is to set up camp. So, first, we select where the main campfire would be.…

Before we jump into new information, let’s do a bit of review from our last devo. In the Garden, Satan first implied that God was selfish and unfair. That when He told us we were free, He was actually restricting true freedom from us. Next, Satan directly contradicted God, calling Him a liar in regards…

As we read Genesis chapter 3 verses 1-6 we are going to pay particular attention Satan’s sophisticated subtleties and to the exchange that Eve entered into. The purpose of this series, as stated in the title, is to examine the character of God. In today’s lesson, we will clearly see how God’s character has been…

The morning was a typical New England fall morning: crisp and sweet. I was two days in to my 7 day campout in the woods with a group of more than 20 teens. For our solo time, God took me up the dry creek bed. God seemed to like that spot. I noticed that He…
