Ask Jesus
I was reading Luke 18 in my devotional reading this morning. This is a familiar section of Scripture for many Christians. We see the Pharisee and the Tax collector, the rich ruler, the persistent woman, the children coming to Christ. Finally, we see Jesus healing the blind man in Luke 18:35-43. We all know the
A Man Who Fears God
Job was a man who was blameless and upright who feared God and turned away from evil (Job 1:1). This is how the book of Job opens up. The book repeats this several times as the story goes deeper and we see Job continually seek the Lord even through trials. But what I find interesting
Did God Really Say?
Satan started out by casting doubt on what God had said to Adam and Eve. “Did God really say?” “Are you sure this is what God told you?” (Gen. 3:1) He did not start out with the big lie. He made the woman think about it, he cast doubt on the command. What is interesting

When Pastors Fall
This past week we got the news again, another pastor has fallen to sexual sin. It is becoming all too frequent these days. And, this time, it hit a little closer to home as it was a preacher that I have personally corresponded with several times over the years and ministry that I was a
