Wanting to Want
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley

Even when you do ask, you don’t get it because your whole motive is wrong – you want only what will give you pleasure. James 4:3              One of the toughest areas of prayer is introspection – looking deep into my heart and trying…(continue reading article)

Change My Tone (Galatians 4:20)
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington

It is possible to go through life without a single disappointment! Do you want to know how that can be accomplished? Simple – go through life without a single expectation! However, understand that this is not a real recommendation. Life would be entirely too miserable to bear without some expectations and the joy…(continue reading article)

Politics With The One You Love
'Inspiration For You' from Randy Mitchell

More than likely, while getting to know someone for the purpose of forming a romantic relationship, the subject of politics will eventually boil to the surface.

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning and Evening for April 9

"And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him." - Luke 23:27 Amid the rabble rout which hounded the Redeemer to his doom, there were some gracious souls whose bitter anguish sought vent in wailing and lamentations-fit music to accompany that march of…… — ( click here to read more )

Daily Light on the Daily Path
Morning / Evening Devotional — September 23

Our God hath not forsaken us. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. — If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards,… — ( click here to read more )

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook"
Deliverance from Dust and Chaff

"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all sections, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth."   Amos 9:9 The sifting process is going on still. Wherever we go, we are still being winnowed and sifted. In all countries God's people are being tried "like as corn is sifted in a… — ( click here to read more )

Voice of the Lord

'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
All Things Beautiful

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we knew how to react properly to all of life's events? To do the right thing at the wrong time is almost as bad as not doing right. "What time is it?" we often ask. In regard to life's events, how often we wish we knew! Solomon follows up his poetic appraisal of time with a question:…… — ( click here to read more )

"Today's Word" with Skip Moen
Shepherd

Shepherd - Here is a thought that is directly related to Jesus' command to Peter. When Peter uses this word in his letter, he must have had a chilling memory of Jesus' conversation on the seashore about being a shepherd (see John 21). Both Jesus and Peter make word plays with this Greek word since the same root word…… — ( click here to read more )

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — September 23

There is an art of forgetting, and every Christian should become skilled in it. Forgetting the things which are behind is a positive necessity if we are to become more than mere babes in Christ. If we cannot trust God to have dealt effectually with our past we may as well throw in the sponge now and have it over with. Fifty years of grieving over… … — ( click here to read more )

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee." Psalms 55:22

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee." Psalms 55:22

THE Lord's people are often heavy laden, their burdens are heavy and their grief great; but the Lord kindly directs them to cast every burden upon Him, and promises to sustain them. Guilt in the conscience and a sense of sin in the soul, often prove an intolerable…
