Acts 23:11 Facing a crowd demanding his death Paul, appealed to have his case heard in Rome before Caesar. Not in an attempt to save his life, but to fulfill the will of the Lord. Paul’s request would indeed get him to Rome. But the passage there thrust him straight into a raging storm so full… Continue reading September 13th – Acts 23:11

September 12th – Psalm 32:1
Psalm 32:1 Many Christians struggle with forgiveness. We understand the concept in our heads, but fail to receive it in our hearts. And often times, we are far more willing to extend forgiveness to others then we are to ourselves. Needlessly we carry around the burden of guilt, shame, and pain. We fear our sin… Continue reading September 12th – Psalm 32:1
September 11th – 1Corinthians 16:13
1 Corinthians 16:13 I love the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. One of my favorite quotes comes from his book “The Lord of the Rings.” The hobbit Bilbo Baggins tells his young cousin, “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no… Continue reading September 11th – 1Corinthians 16:13
September 1st – Jeremiah 1:17
Jeremiah 1:17 Jeremiah faithfully served God for over forty years. But when he first heard the Lord’s call, Jeremiah did like many of us do, he questioned God. After all there was no way such a young man could go out and be the voice of the Lord! So fearfully Jeremiah cried out, “Alas, Lord… Continue reading September 1st – Jeremiah 1:17

August 29th – Acts 5:41
Acts 5:41 When the Council of Pharisees and the chief priests had Peter and the apostles beaten for spreading the message of Jesus, you’d think they would have stopped preaching. But instead, bloodied and bruised, they rejoiced for being worthy of suffering for the Lord. As Christians we risk persecution and even physical safety for… Continue reading August 29th – Acts 5:41
January 31st – Joshua 1:9
Joshua 1:9 One of the greatest promises of God is that He is always with us. Through the good and bad, the highs and lows, we are never alone. Through every circumstance and every situation, God is there beside us. In His amazing love, the Lord cares, guides, protects, and fights for us, always. All… Continue reading January 31st – Joshua 1:9
January 21st – 2 Chronicles 15:7
2 Chronicles 15:7 Do you every find yourself saying, “I wish”? “I wish I was skinnier. I wish I was richer. I wish I had a better job. I wish, I wish, I wish.” Sitting around hoping God will make something happen is much easier than actually doing the work ourselves. But that’s not how… Continue reading January 21st – 2 Chronicles 15:7
