But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Daily Devotional – God is in Nature
God is in Nature – From BillyGraham.org When I consider thy heavens . . . —Psalm 8:3 To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it. For instance, it is revealed that one single snowflake in a snowstorm with millions of other snowflakes is the equivalent of twenty billion electrons. Scientists are learning that the miniature world of a single living cell is as astonishing as man himself.…
Verse of the Day – Proverbs 17:28 KJV
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut they seem intelligent.
Daily Devotional – God the Peacekeeper
God the Peacekeeper – From Billygraham.org He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! —Isaiah 26:3 (TLB) You have an ego-a consciousness of being an individual. Of course, you do. But that doesn’t mean that you are to worship yourself, to think constantly of yourself, and to live entirely for yourself. Common sense tells you that your life would be miserable if you followed that course. God is infinitely…
Verse of the Day – Luke 24:6-7 KJV
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Letters from Roscoe
Howdy folks! Yesterday, we had our first person to comment on one of the ‘Letters from Roscoe’ posts. Another ‘Christian in Training’ it turns out! It takes courage to be the first person to stand up and volunteer to be the first one to tell their story. Even in cyberspace. The response I received to yesterday’s post was this: “I accepted Jesus as my Savior in VBS many moons ago (around 50 plus yrs.). I didn’t really realize what that…

April 30, 2016 Always Be Vigilant – From Billygraham.org Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. —1 Peter 5:8 When I was in the hospital in Hawaii, I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor. On that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. We know now that that attack was invited…
Verse of the Day – Philippians 2:13 KJV
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure.
Daily Devotional – Questioning
Questioning – From BillyGraham.org Restore to me again the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. —Psalm 51:12 (TLB) It is not unusual for persons in their early twenties to defect from their early teaching. The reasons are many. Perhaps their exposure to unbelief “took” better than their exposure to belief. This is often the case, for the Bible says, “The heart of man is deceitful above all things.” The human heart is as prepared by…
Verse of the Day – Romans 15:7 KJV
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Letters from Roscoe
OK. You probably know by now, my name is not Roscoe. You call me Jim, my wife and close friends call me Tip, my family (Four sisters!) call me Rodney. My great-grandson’s nickname is ‘Roscoe’, and no, he is not happy with the moniker. When I call him ‘Roscoe’ he quickly reminds me that “My name is HUNTER!” But the name Roscoe is the nickname that I gave him, and I really can’t remember why. But it was in reference to James Best’s…
