Have You Accepted God's Gift of Love, Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ? Tell Me More

Family & Relationships

Love the Lord Your God

Today we have invented many different meanings of the word love, associating it with food, with crushes, and even sports teams... but real love is so much more, and so much harder... yet God tells us the greatest commandment is to love Him with all of our heart, all of our soul, and all of our mind...

God, Are You Listening?

Have you ever prayed to God for something, only to be left wondering if God was even listening?

My Signigicant Other

Sometimes it seems our relationship with God is at a stand still, that we're not improving, or that God's just not there for us... sometimes it's easy for us to feel like giving up and moving on...

Crucifying Racism

Today's devotion is not one of political correctness, or even one of encouragement... instead today we need to take a serious look at our own views, and how we perceive others. While racism is not something we like to talk about, or even think about, it is something that we can ALL fall victim to...

Love Does Not Fear

True Perfect Love does not act out of fear, or worry about being punished for disobeying, but true perfect love acts to serve others, to avoid causing pain and suffering. True love rejoices in the truth...

A Loving God

As we get closer to Valentine's day, there is a lot of talk about what love is, and how to show it. We talk about buying candy and flowers for our sweethearts, or a nice romantic dinner... but somehow the founder of love, God, gets left out of the picture...

Never Satisfied

Our lives have been filled with many different blessings, but yet we continue to want more and more. This Christmas season, take time to reflect on the blessings you have been given, instead of those you haven't...

Are You Dating Other Gods?

Many things try to come back into our lives, some are healthy, but many are not. Yet we open our lives to them, and immediately fall back to our old ways...

Be Patient with Him???

Everyone has someone in their life that drives them crazy... someone who is annoying, who doesn't get your jokes, who bugs you about stupid stuff. How do you treat this person, and are you reflecting God's Love?

I Love You... I think

Everyday we see the word "love," one of the most abused words in the dictionary. People tell us how much they love this, or love that, or even love each other... but what does love really mean, or should we say, what is love?

You're Being Unreasonable!

Have you ever had an argument with someone, and told them they are being "Unreasonable?" Do you walk away from arguments frustrated? Do you really listen to what the other person is saying?

Don't Blink!

Today is the 6th year anniversary of the September 11th World Trade Center attacks, a day filled with loss, and that was completely unexpected. Today's devotion is based on remembrance of those who have passed, and on remembering those who are still in our lives today.

[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
