Being A Christian And Avoiding Divorce - B
with Jack Hibbs from 'Real Radio' Being a Christian means we no longer belong to ourselves. Marriage is a covenant with God, putting Him first, and then our spouse. That’s why a marriage gives us depth to our ministry, and is worthy of being protected, and fought for. ( click here to read more)
Daily Sacrifice
'Chip Shots from the Ruff of Life' from Tom Kelley
In May, 1998 I had the kind of day an amateur golfer dreams about. I had traveled from Winchester, Kentucky to Georgetown, Kentucky to play golf at the Longview Golf Course. I did not have anyone with me so I was at the mercy of the starters. Another man and I were put with a couple of guys named Joe who were agitating…(continue reading article)
To Have or To Be
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley
All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles. When I considered all that I had accomplished and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind. There was…(continue reading article)

'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington

On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek…(continue reading article)
Daily Light on the Daily Path
Morning / Evening Devotional — July 16
Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.
Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests. — Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of… — ( click here to read more )
Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook"
Word to Him Who Halts
"I will save her that halteth." Zephaniah 3:19
There are plenty of these lame ones, both male and female. You may meet "her that halteth" twenty times in an hour. They are in the right road and exceedingly anxious to run in it with diligence, but they are lame and make a sorry walk of it. On the heavenly road there are many cripples. It may be that… — ( click here to read more )
Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning and Evening for June 17
"Help, Lord."
- Psalm 12:1
The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication-when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he…… — ( click here to read more )
Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Tammuz 24'
There has been an ongoing tension in the Messianic movement for many years over the issue of aliyah (returning to Israel). Some have been tirelessly devoted to calling and shepherding our people back to the Land. They believe, according to numerous Scriptures such as Ezekiel 37, that as a result of the Jewish people's return to the Land, the Lord will pour… — ( click here to read more )

Covington, Virginia, has long been one of my favorite places to visit. My wife was raised in that area and still has family (five brothers and a sister) in the county there. This past week it was my pleasure to return to Covington for a revival with the good folks at the Highland Chapel Christian Church. It is always…… — ( click here to read more )
'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
Why anti-Semitism?
The advice given by Mordecai to Esther that under no circumstance is she to reveal she is a Jewess indicates that he had some awareness of God's purpose to use Esther's presence in the palace to accomplish divine ends. It also provides us with a more complete answer to the question we posed several days ago when…… — ( click here to read more )
Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — July 16
The Holy Spirit in this passage is saying two things: God works in you to will, but you are to work with God in working it out. God works in you--that is, God is always previous. God is the aggressor. God saw you in the rut and wanted you to get out it. He thought of it first, not you. The impuse to know God came from Him and not from you. God works…

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
"Be clothed with humility." 1 Peter 5:5
"Be clothed with humility." 1 Peter 5:5 IT is of great importance, to have and to cherish right views of our own littleness and insignificance; of our vileness and unworthiness; and of our own absolute and constant dependence on the mercy of our God. To possess a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price;…

Will population control heal the planet?
According to news reports, there's at least one bright spot amidst all the COVID-19. With those pesky and invasive humans stuck at home, animals are reclaiming wild spaces (and even city streets).
Catholic churches vandalized, 1 torched with churchgoers inside
Several Catholic churches and statues paying homage to one of the most revered figures in Christianity became the targets of violence and vandalism over the weekend. Two Catholic churches were set on fire while statues of the Virgin Mary in major American cities were defaced.
God's kingdom expands regardless who the president is
As Christians, we want our politicians or the president to represent our Godly and kingdom values. However, there is danger in expecting such representation from them when we are not willing to do anything to advance the kingdom ourselves.
From 'Am I not a man?' to 'Am I not a baby?'
At this critical time in our nation's history, when important questions about justice and equality are being raised, let us not lose sight of the little ones, hidden from sight yet terminated and discarded by the hour.
