Daily encouragement for Christians
How did people ever get the idea that life should be fair? I am so tired of hearing, “No fair!” or “Why not me?” that I have told all of my kids that I don’t want to hear those words in my house anymore–if only that would be enough to stop it. I am not […]
A reminder from the archives: Do you like to read? I love to but I have a confession–I read so slow it’s difficult to finish a book. I have at least two reasons for this–vision issues and attention deficiency. While not the best combination for a devotional writer Father still manages to use me. Two […]
Resurrection Sunday is coming soon. Do you know the history of that event? It’s not just a Bible story, it’s humanity’s history. Jesus isn’t just a prophet or a good man who lived long ago; He’s the One who conquered death and hell. He was crucified on a cross […]
I was on a social media site when my interest was piqued about a page offering some interesting clothing bearing Christian slogans. I saw there were many comments and decided to see what people had to say about the company. I soon noticed that many of the comments had nothing to do with the company […]

“Anyone who thinks he is religiously observant but does not control his tongue is deceiving himself, and his observance counts for nothing.” (James 1:26) What does “religiously observant” mean to you? Do you realize that Jesus taught religion as relationship? I think about James, the younger brother of Jesus, and wonder what sort of relationship […]
Where is wisdom found? It depends on the type of wisdom you are searching for. There are two types and they are contrary to each other. “For God’s ‘nonsense’ is wiser than humanity’s wisdom.” (1 Corinthians 1:25) Do you have a need for things to make sense? In 1980, my first husband and I were […]
I’ve heard a couple of people talk of being supernaturally transported through a vision, to Calvary, where they witnessed that fateful day in history, the day we people put our Savior on the cross. When I consider how emotional I get just reading about it I can’t imagine being a witness. I like to think […]
Shhh, listen, not to the sounds around you but the thoughts within your mind. Are you seeking the Lord right now? Are you able to walk peacefully in the garden of your heart as you accept the Spirit’s call to sit and relax in the freshness of the new day? Or does it seem like […]
