Daily Devotional – The Habit of Keeping a Clear Conscience
The Habit of Keeping a Clear Conscience – from Utmost.org May 13, 2016 …strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men. —Acts 24:16 God’s commands to us are actually given to the life of His Son in us.

Conscience is that ability within me that attaches itself to the highest standard…

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.…

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.

There may be life on other planets, but I believe man is unique in the sense that he was created in the image…
