I stopped at the stop sign and looked both ways before I pulled out in front of a police cruiser coming toward the intersection. I made it across the intersection and, truthfully, had plenty of time to spare. But I just knew that officer was going to stop me, so I pulled over to the side of [...]
- Silence, Please!2 September 2010, 1:00 am
Our world has become increasingly noisy. But according to a news report, science has found a way to achieve absolute silence: “Scientists have shown off the blueprint for an ‘acoustic cloak,’ which could make objects impervious to sound waves. The technology, outlined in the New Journal of Physics, could be used to build sound-proof homes, advanced concert halls, or stealth warships.”...

- Middle C2 September 2010, 6:01 am
“From everlasting to everlasting you are God.” Psalm 90:2You and I need a middle C. Haven’t you had enough change in your life? Relationships change. Health changes. The weather changes. But the Yahweh who ruled the earth last night is the same Yahweh who rules it today. Same convictions. Same plan. Same mood. Same love. He never changes. You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific. Yahweh is our Middle C. A still point in a turning wor... - He Knows the Answers1 September 2010, 6:01 am
“You answer us in amazing ways, God our Savior.” Psalm 65:5God never turns his back on those who ask honest questions. He never did in the Old Testament; he never did in the New Testament. So if you are asking honest questions of God, he will not turn away from you . . .In learning to depend on God, we must accept that we may not know all the answers, but we know who knows the answers. ... - Amazed at Jesus31 August 2010, 6:01 am
“When the Lord Jesus comes . . . all the people who have believed will be amazed at Jesus.”Amazed at Jesus . . . Paul doesn’t measure the joy of encouraging the apostles or embracing our loved ones. If we will be amazed at these, which we certainly will, he does not say. What he does say is that we will be amazed at Jesus.What we have only seen in our thoughts, we will see with our eyes . . . What we’ve seen in a glimpse, we will then see in full view. And . . . we w...
- A Life of Pure and Holy Sacrifice2 September 2010, 5:00 am
He who believes in Me . . . out of his heart will flow . . . —John 7:38Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God,” but, in essence, “He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him.” Our Lord’s teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a…... - Destined To Be Holy1 September 2010, 5:00 am
. . it is written, ’Be holy, for I am holy’ —1 Peter 1:16We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good,…... - “My Joy . . . Your Joy”31 August 2010, 5:00 am
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full —John 15:11What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father— the joy of doing that which…...
Devotional Bloggers- Organizing your Prayers - Prayer Calendars2 September 2010, 2:00 pm
I am an organized person. In fact some people think I am hyper-organized. Call us Type A personalities, high strung, or detail crazy – we are the planners, system thinkers, and get it done people. So it should be no surprise an idea called a “Prayer Calendar” excites me.I found this great concept the other day on the blog, Scripture Dig. The post was called “The Type A Person Prays” by Teri Lynne Underwood. Immediately I knew I found a soul sister. (By the way, Scripture Dig is... - The Voice of the Martyrs2 September 2010, 10:00 am
