The Training of a Child

This series looks at the parent/child relationship as it pertains to child-training. It is the hope and prayer of this author that both parents and children will see their individual responsibilities, and will seek to implement these simple Scriptural guidelines for the glory of God in their family.

The Perfect Sacrifice

Are you tired? Have the trials and tribulations of life brought you to such a point in your Christian walk that you’re ready to give up? If this is your condition, you’re now reading an encouraging devotion series, an encouraging word from the Lord. “The Perfect Sacrifice” is about an Old Testament Bible character by the name of Hannah. Hannah was dealing with a trial that had brought her to her wits’ end; but Hannah’s faith held to the faithfulness of God.

What is the Call?

This series looks at “the call,” which is a Position (or Place) that God “calls” His people to, in His Sovereign work of Grace, in Regeneration.

Declaration of Inter-Dependence

The 4th of July always reminds us of our freedom as a people. It is a great celebration of independence. Unfortunately, this word “independence” has come to mean something that our forefathers never meant it to mean.

Commitment

In this series, we look at what is “true” commitment. We look at some disciples who turned their backs and “walked with Him no more.” We find that true commitment in us flows only from God.

What's on Your Tree

What’s on Your Tree? In this series, we look at the kind of fruit being borne on our branches. Is it good fruit, or is it corrupt fruit? What if there is no fruit? What is hindering us from bearing good fruit? After answering these questions, we learn what kind of fruit our tree should be bearing; we look in detail at the fruit of the Spirit.

How to Have a Samuel

This short series looks at a question many of the parents today are asking, ‘What can we do to have Godly children?” The answer is the same as it has always been – God. The only thing that truly conforms a child to God is regeneration by the Spirit of God; which is solely up the action of God.

The Worship Devotions

Each of these devotions expands the thoughts on worship found in Psalms 100. These devotions look at questions such as: What is worship? Where do we worship? Who do we worship? Who are the people who worship God? How are we to worship Him? What does the worshipper perceive about God?

Courage Abounding in Conviction

During my last month of incarceration, although I had no idea I was in the closing hours, I wrote this devotion series called “Courage Abounding in Conviction.” I pray these devotions not only motivate prisoners to live for God, but motivate you as well. We are all in the middle of a Babylonian Regime. And God is calling us at a time such as this to stand with our loins girt about with truth. May you find inspiration in this ex-convict’s words as he continues to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).

Accepting the Sovereignty of God

The first post in this series is titled, “Why is It so Hard to Accept the Sovereignty of God?” The rest of the series discuss how you, the Believer, can have the finest of the wheat and honey out of the Rock, as you Surrender to the Sovereignty of God; Submit to the Will of God; Obey the Word of God; and Endure in the same!
