End of All Things
The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 1 Peter 4:7 I chose this verse tongue-in-cheek in honor of the “Revelation 12 sign” that has Youtubers in a frenzy. It even made it into the mainstream news. The world is NOT ending today (September…

Good News and “Bad” News
Good news and “bad” news: The good is that Jesus loves even you, even me, despite ourselves–even though He knows every single thing about us, even our very thoughts. Wow! The “bad” news is that He doesn’t love our sin. He came to FREE us FROM it, not only the consequences for it, but also…

Humble in Spirit

Light and Salt (or Stand Up for the REAL Jesus, the TRUE Light of the World)
Please don’t think that to be a “nice” person or “good” Christian that you have to accept the ways of the world when they go against the moral values taught in the Bible. Really – God made some people in the wrong gender of body, or He made a mistake when He made genders at…

How to Live in Your Last Days
I personally believe for many reasons that we are in the last days before the return of Jesus, but it doesn’t really matter if I’m right or not. None of us knows when our own last moment on this earth will be, and so we should be living as though that could be at any…

True Freedom
Today (June 28, 2017) in the news we are hearing about a man who ran his car into a monument of the Ten Commandments that had been placed less than 24 hours prior at the State Capitol of Arkansas after a legal battle was lost by those trying to prevent it. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-arkansas-commandments-idUSKBN19J1XX Please pray for this…

Be Angry and Do Not Sin
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 People prefer to only remember Jesus by how mild mannered and loving He was, but there were times when He did get angry. Can you name the two times that…

Time to Wake Up!
There often seem to be two camps among professed believers in regard to repentance, and they are opposite extremes. One side says that we must work for salvation, or if not, that work is still required to keep it. The other side says that we don’t work for salvation and neither is anything else required…

Subliminal Suggestion?
I saw a disturbing thing at Walmart yesterday. They had two magazines side by side. One with Emma Watson dressed as Belle and the other with the Virgin Mary. Both of their heads were facing slightly downward and to the right. The resemblance of the composition of each picture was extremely noticeable. Is this just…

Make Sacrifices Forever
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ “For thus says the LORD: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, and the Levitical priests shall never…

Precious Stones
The LORD says, “O Jerusalem, you suffering, helpless city, with no one to comfort you, I will rebuild your foundations with precious stones. I will build your towers with rubies, your gates with stones that glow like fire, and the wall around you with jewels.” Isaiah 54:11-12 kit and stacked papers: Spring Bouquet by Kristmess…

Times of Refreshing
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of…

One Thousand Years
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and whosoever had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its…

Spirit of Christ
Have you ever pondered the indescribably beautiful and immeasurably great miracle that God lives inside of those who are born again? I wrote about it in my devotional on Layout for Today.

My Song
I would like to emphasize that none of us are going to be perfect until the moment Jesus has finished His perfect work in us. (Philipp. 1:6) He told us not to worry. (Matt. 6:34) We can only live one day at a time. If we try to relive the past or handle tomorrow in…

Clothe Yourselves
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe…

Last Days
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form…
