My First

My very first car was one that I had taken a number of rides in during my teen years. It was a 1956 Chevrolet BelAir two door hardtop with a 265 cc. V-8 and black rolled and tucked interior. I bought it from my grandfather for the princely sum of in the summer of 1970. I put a lot of miles on that car in a short…(continue reading article)

Watching for Morning
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley
LORD, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered. I wait for the LORD; I wait, and put my hope in His word. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning--more than watchmen for the morning. - Psalm 130:3-6 HCSB A farmer wakes up…(continue reading article)

Morning / Evening Devotional — September 20
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Perfect Willingness
"Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power." Psalms 110:3
Blessed be the God of grace that it is so! He has a people whom He has chosen from of old to be His peculiar portion. These by nature have wills as stubborn as the rest of the froward sons of Adam; but when the day of His power comes and grace displays its omnipotence, they become… — ( click here to read more )

"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint."
- Psalm 22:14
Did earth or heaven ever behold a sadder spectacle of woe! In soul and body, our Lord felt himself to be weak as water poured upon the ground. The placing of the cross in its socket had shaken him with great violence, had strained…… — ( click here to read more )

Trouble with Words
Every now and then notices and advertisements are posted which could be worded a little bit better. If you're like me, when you read these kind of things you have to wonder if someone just wasn't quite on their game for the day. But that's what makes these kinds of statements and pronouncements such treasures.…… — ( click here to read more )
'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
A Thorough God
In these verses we come face to face with the thoroughness of God. However ragged life may seem in a fallen world, the Creator knows no such imperfections. Everything He does is not only permanent, but complete: "nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it" (v. 14). Ever sent for something and found that when…… — ( click here to read more )
Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Tishrei 11'
Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the day when men stand before God, and the sins of God's people are forgiven. Unlike the other festivals of the Lord, the most important practice of Yom Kippur was performed in secret. No one saw the atonement that was made on the altar! The central event took place in secret behind the veil of the Holy of Holies, a… — ( click here to read more )
Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — September 20
God will speak to us if we read and study and obey the Word of God! But when He does speak, we should speak back to Him in prayer and devotion. Otherwise, we are among the Christians who are mired down right where we are. Many in our congregations have grown older and yet are not one inch farther up the mountain than on that day when the sun first…

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
"I have gone astray like a lost sheep." Psalms 119:176
"I have gone astray like a lost sheep." Psalms 119:176 THIS is the humble confession of a man of God, and may not we adopt it as our own this morning? Have not we also gone astray? Does not this display our weakness? How weak to wander from so kind a Shepherd, so rich a pasture, so good a fold! Is it not a mark of inattention? Jesus…

Church in America Has Become Largely Impotent, Irrelevant
America has had an explosion of megachurches in the past decade. We also have Christian colleges rapidly expanding in size. Yet all these visible indicators are misleading; something else is also going on that tells a very different story.
The Floods Have Lifted Up Their Voice
The aftermath of Florence is extraordinary. What we have witnessed reminds us that after our many achievements, after our incredible advances in technology, medicine, transportation, communication, and other human endeavors, we are still merely mortals subject to the basest of earth's elements.
Resolving Conflict in an Explosive Culture
In this explosive culture in America, motives are challenged endlessly. Trust in relationships is not earned easily. Criticism of others is ruthless. Cynicism is applauded loudly. Leaders are under detailed scrutiny.
3 Evangelicals Walk Into a Muslim Convention
This wasn't the first time that Evangelical leaders participated in the largest annual gathering of Muslims in the United States. What was especially intriguing were the questions and comments that audience members posed. They provide a window into what everyday Muslim Americans are concerned about when it comes to their relationships with Evangelicals and conservatives.
3 Ways to Look and Not Lust
If you are a guy and have been involved in some sort of accountability group (like an X3group), no doubt the subject of "lust" has come up.

2 Chronicles 31; Psalm 87; John 20:1-18:
When all this had ended, the Israelites who were there went out to the towns of Judah, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. They destroyed the high places and the altars throughout Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and Manasseh. After they had destroyed all of them, the Israelites returned to their own towns and to their own property.Hezekiah assigned the priests and Levites to divisions—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—to…
