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.

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…

Verse of the Day – 2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Letters from Roscoe
Howdy! It’s me, Roscoe! I found out that at least one person was reading these posts and getting something out of my story. So I’ll continue to tell you about my journey to become a Christian in Training. But first, let me ask: Are you a Christian? There’s an old saying; ‘You are the company you keep. So surround yourself with good people.’ Once I decided to put my faith in Jesus Christ, without really realizing it, I began…
