Daily Devotional – Everlasting Peace
Reading in Peace – From Billygraham.org May 4, 2016 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace . . . — Ephesians 2:13,14 Meaningless mouthings about peace will not bring it to the world. In Glasgow, Scotland, we watched the Communists march around St. George’s Square carrying their banners with the words, “Our motto is PEACE!” My thoughts raced back to Korea, where I…
Verse of the Day – Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Letters from Roscoe
Howdy Folks… Sometimes you are trying to understand something and have even opted to discuss it openly. Then suddenly and without any further action on your part, the answer is provided in an unexpected manner. Let me explain. In the last ‘Letter from Roscoe’ a discussion started the other day was in response to the comment of a reader who had raised the issue; ‘How do you know for sure that you’re saved?’ Well, out of the blue; Brother Eddie…
Daily Devotional – Seeing Our Need
Seeing Our Need – From Billygraham.org May 3, 2016 Only a fool would say to himself, ‘There is no God.’ And why does he say it? Because of his wicked heart, his dark and evil deeds. His life is corroded with sin. —Psalm 53:1 (TLB) We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space. We get a Ph.D. degree and we strut across the stage and say, “Well, I don’t know whether or not…
Verse of the Day – Hebrews 13:16 KJV
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…
