Mark 15:33-39 Let us contemplate verse 39 of scripture. The curtain was to separate the people of the day from the Holy Temple. Hebrews 9:1-9 tells us that in the temple, a veil separated the Holy of Holies—the earthly dwelling place of God’s presence—from the rest of the temple where men dwelt. This signified that man […]

The Hand Book of Life
Genesis 1:1:31 When someone tells us a story and then stops before they finish, don’t we ponder in anticipation just wanting to know how it ends? Or you come into a story in the end and have to know the details of how they got there. Either way, there is a human intrinsic need to know […]
No Need to Panic
John 14:1-28 I woke up the other morning and realized that we had no electric in the house. I knew it was a day I had to get on my computer and write devotions. Right away, panic and worry set in; how am I going to do what I have to get done? I can’t […]
Hanging in the Balance
Job 26:5-14 What does ‘hanging in the balance’ or ‘waiting for the other shoe to drop’ mean? They refer to the doubt that we have about the future and the expectation that something bad or negative is going to happen. Job could have totally related to these sayings. Not only did he lose every worldly […]
You Have a Mission

Just Let It Go
Read Ephesians 4:31-32 Most of us probably have someone in our lives that have hurt us in one way or another. We may even hold on to that hurt for many years. These verses talk about getting rid of our bitterness and anger and forgiving others just as God forgives us. Lyrics to the “Tenth Avenue […]
Hang Your Hat
Deuteronomy 7:7-10 Ever hear the saying “You can hang your hat on that”? It means that whatever is being talked about is a guarantee. We hang our hat on many things; on this earthly world, but nothing is guaranteed. This world is only temporary (2 Cor. 4:18) and that word “temporary” means that nothing of this […]
In Spite of Ourselves
Acts 15:36-41 and Acts 15:1-9 I can remember seeing an accident one time and people just standing around, watching and observing, but no one was actually helping. That is not a surprise with all the lawsuits and the trouble that one can get into and it is no wonder why people don’t want to get their […]
Beggars and Thieves
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 There is a favorite group of mine called The Rhett Walker Band and one of their songs “Brother” has a chorus line that says, “Beggars and thieves in search of the very same grace”. This verse got me thinking, “How many times do we beg God to help us to take away […]
