WHERE IT HURTS MOST
Have you ever thought about the area in your life that hurts most might be the area where God is trying to reach you the deepest? I've noticed that for me, there are places in my psyche that cannot be reached by a human being. As much as those who love me try, they cannot reach that deep place...

WAYS GOD TRIES TO REACH US
This morning on my drive in to work, I admit, the music I played was loud. I suppose I was trying to drown my pain in it. There are days like this, I reminded myself, even if they turn into whole weeks. As I was consumed in the dark cloak of emotions, I spotted something from the corner of my eye. I...

IS GOD THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM MOST?
I have to admit, often I have more head knowledge than I have life (and sometimes heart) experience, but every once in a while, God puts me to the test, so to speak, and I have to experience the knowledge first hand. For example, it's easy to give someone who is hurting advice, inspirational...

INSULT AND ABUSE
"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse. Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you." (Proverbs 9:7,8) In my morning devotions today, I read Proverbs 9. How did I miss this before now? God had a special message for...

WHO'S BEHIND THAT DOOR?
"I’m standing at the door and I’m knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20). Every human being has a door to his or her heart. Imagine a knock on your heart's door, or the part of your mind that encompasses your emotions, and on the other side is the...

OUR EARTH IS VERY YOUNG
I'm not a scientist, but have read both sides of the controversy regarding creation versus evolution. I'm a creationist and believe God created the earth in seven literal days. I accept this by faith, as well as by evidence. Years ago I read a fascinating book by a physicist named Robert Gentry on...

DO YOU PRAY OR CARE FOR YOUR "ENEMIES?"
I've never considered anyone my "enemy." I have had issues with certain people who took offense to me and acted like enemies toward me, baffling me the whole time, but I've never gone around making those around me my enemies. I like to consider everyone around me my friends. I may not believe as...

DO YOU WORSHIP A FALSE GOD?
"How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?" Psalm 4:2 Often in the Bible we read warnings issued by God and His prophets to the children of Israel and to God's people who are worshiping false gods. In contrast to false gods, we have the "only true God." God calls Himself a "jealous God,"...

IF WE TRULY UNDERSTOOD GOD'S LOVE FOR US, WE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Friday and Saturday I had the privilege of hearing an excellent speaker named Ty Gibson, founder of Lightbearers Ministry. His sermons were annointed and he was able to bring the love of God through his presentations. As I listened, I couldn't help but realize that I do not fully grasp God's love...

WHAT PLEASES GOD?
What does it mean to be a man after God's own heart? This was a title given to David, in the Bible, yet David was an adulterer. Still, God saw past his sins into his heart which he knew wanted to please God. David had faith. Abraham walked with God, but in one instant he lied when asked if Sarah was...
