Bible Reading Romans 2 Devotional Thoughts: This morning as I read this passage in Romans 2 the picture of God’s circle of safety was coming to mind once again. In this passage, God isn’t making a distinction between believers and unbelievers based on faith, but based on how they live. Now, obviously their faith, and the source […]

Bible Reading Genesis 32Mark 3Romans 3 Devotional Thoughts The Lord seems to be giving me a theme the past few days, the theme that there is nothing out of God’s control.

Thinking of that picture of God being our Father, and as our Father, being the perfect parent, how does a child enjoy the blessing of their parents? It is most enjoyed when they are […]

Bible Reading Matthew 24 Devotional Thoughts: Reading Matthew 24 I can certainly see some parallels to what we see in today’s world. “Many will give up their faith… they will betray one another and hate one another… such will be the spread of evil that many people’s love will grow cold… “ (Matt 24:9-13) Do you […]

Bible Reading Genesis 24 Devotional Thoughts In the Post “The Prayer of a Righteous Man,” I wrote about the kind of faith that can curse a fig tree and move a mountain (Matt 17:20-21; Matt 21:20-22).
