Daily encouragement for Christians
There are many different versions of the Bible. While this is upsetting to some people, who think their preferred version is the only correct one, I appreciate those written in a contemporary style; they are simpler and easier to understand. I’ve known many people who have never read the Book because they didn’t understand the […]
From the archives: Today seemed to find me in a barren land as I sat with Father expectantly seeking the topic of the day. After an hour the only thing I knew was that I could not give up because Father wanted to speak to someone specific through my words today. Suddenly, I caught just […]
Perhaps this world seems comfortable to you because it’s all you’ve ever known but make no mistake, you are a traveler here if you have chosen Jesus as your guide. This is the land you were sent to in order to carry out the will of Father, which is usually revealed bit by bit. “You […]
What does the Sabbath day look like for you? Do you have a day in your week for resting your body and praising your Savior? If so, what day is it? The look and feel of Shabbat (the Sabbath) has changed immensely over the centuries. Until the year 321 A.D. the Sabbath always began at […]

I face this issue often because God’s ways and ours are different. If you’re a pastor people understand that you work on the Sabbath, it’s your […]
A repeat that I believe someone needs to be reminded of today. After not working for several years due to health issues, God opened a door I hadn’t expected. I accepted the part-time position and was in awe at how well my body was handling it. I knew God had sent me there and wanted […]
I wrote this in 2020 but for the most part, it is the same today. Some restrictions have been lifted but there is serious talk in my state about another lockdown as new variants of covid emerge. Even if covid was not a concern there are many other situations that have people wondering if God […]
