Daily Devotional – Seeing Our Need
Seeing Our Need – From Billygraham.org May 3, 2016 Only a fool would say to himself, ‘There is no God.’ And why does he say it? Because of his wicked heart, his dark and evil deeds. His life is corroded with sin. —Psalm 53:1 (TLB) We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space.

Verse of the Day – Hebrews 13:16 KJV
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
It’s just been one of those days …

Daily Devotional – God is in Nature
God is in Nature – From BillyGraham.org When I consider thy heavens . . . —Psalm 8:3 To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it.

Verse of the Day – Proverbs 17:28 KJV

Daily Devotional – God the Peacekeeper
God the Peacekeeper – From Billygraham.org He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! —Isaiah 26:3 (TLB) You have an ego-a consciousness of being an individual.

Common sense tells you that your life would be miserable if you followed that course. God is infinitely…
Verse of the Day – Luke 24:6-7 KJV
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Letters from Roscoe
Howdy folks! Yesterday, we had our first person to comment on one of the ‘Letters from Roscoe’ posts. Another ‘Christian in Training’ it turns out! It takes courage to be the first person to stand up and volunteer to be the first one to tell their story. Even in cyberspace. The response I received to yesterday’s post was this: “I accepted Jesus as my Savior in VBS many moons ago (around 50 plus yrs.). I didn’t really realize what that…
Daily Devotional – Always be Vigilant
April 30, 2016 Always Be Vigilant – From Billygraham.org Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. —1 Peter 5:8 When I was in the hospital in Hawaii, I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor. On that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. We know now that that attack was invited…
Verse of the Day – Philippians 2:13 KJV
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure.
Daily Devotional – Questioning
Questioning – From BillyGraham.org Restore to me again the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. —Psalm 51:12 (TLB) It is not unusual for persons in their early twenties to defect from their early teaching. The reasons are many. Perhaps their exposure to unbelief “took” better than their exposure to belief. This is often the case, for the Bible says, “The heart of man is deceitful above all things.” The human heart is as prepared by…
Verse of the Day – Romans 15:7 KJV
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
