Verse of the Day – James 1:19 KJV
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Letters from Roscoe
Why am I writing this? For whose glory is it anyway? Often since I became a Christian in Training and started writing this series of ‘Letters from Roscoe’, I have had to ask myself ‘Who are you doing this for?’. That thought always makes me stop and do some soul searching. The answer is: “I write this for HIM.” I write this in the hope that YOU will read it. I write it in the hope that YOU will think about it.…
Daily Devotional – He Changes U
He Changes Us – from Billygraham.org May 12, 2016 . . . that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. —Ephesians 6:19 The word “mystery” means beyond human knowledge or understanding. God’s mysteries baffle the unbelieving, but bless the believer. The mystery of righteousness, like some of the other great mysteries of God, we cannot comprehend, but we know it works. We stand amazed at this great mystery which enables God to change…
Verse of the Day – 1 Thessalonians 5:15 KJV
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Daily Devotional – The Need for Wisdom
The Need for Wisdom – from Billygraham.org May 11, 2016 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. —Matthew 24:35 Time is running out. The seconds are ticking away toward midnight. The human race is about to take the fatal plunge. Which way shall we turn? Is there any authority left? Is there a path we can follow? Can we find a code book that will give us the key to our dilemmas? Is there…
Verse of the Day – Psalms 94:18-19 KJV
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Letters from Roscoe
I recently read a book called ‘When God Winks at You’. The book passed along numerous peoples own stories about how God had worked in their lives and then let them know that He had done it. Each little event (well, some were major) was called a God Wink. While I enjoyed the book and it’s subject matter, I didn’t like the way the book read; it made ‘God Winks’ sound like a novelty item and they aren’t. But I believe in God,…
Daily Devotional – The Purpose of God for You
The Purpose of God for You May 10, 2016 Everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory. To him be glory evermore. —Romans 11:36 (TLB) Have you ever wondered why God placed us on this planet? What our purpose is in being here? It is because God is love. There may be life on other planets, but I believe man is unique in the sense that he was created in the image…
Verse of the Day – Colossians 3:15 KJV
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Daily Devotional – New Heaven, New Earth
New Heaven, New Earth – from BillyGraham.org May 9, 2016 The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. —Revelation 11:15 Christianity is a Gospel of crisis. It proclaims unmistakably that this world’s days are numbered. Every graveyard and every cemetery testify that the Bible is true. Our days on this planet are numbered. The Apostle James says that life is only a vapor that…
Verse of the Day – Ephesians 2:10 KJV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Daily Devotional – The Influence of a Mother
The Influence of a Mother – from Billygraham.org May 8, 2016 Her children arise up, and call her blessed… — Proverbs 31:28 Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. Someone has said, “Like mother, like children.” Most of the noble characters and fine leaders of history have had good, God-fearing mothers. We are told that George Washington’s mother was pious, and that Sir Walter Scott’s mother was a…
