Wednesday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! I live in northeast Ohio and we had a pretty hot summer. It was unusual to have so many days near, at or above 90 degrees. A cold drink of water really felt good especially after mowing my two acres of lawn. As summer progressed, we had less and less rain. The land became dry and cracked. Mowing became a very dusty job and we even were declared to be in a drought. We longed for rain to come soak the ground and bring the relief. The rain finally came enough to ma

Tuesday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! Some people only trust in the Lord when they have a great need. They run to Him like a genie in a bottle hoping if they rub their Bible three times, they will get there's prayers answered like wishes. Some only trust the Lord when times are good and things are easy. Temporary trust is full time doubt. The Lord doesn't change regardless of our circumstances. He is to be praised in the good times and the bad. He is able to keep us when things are easy and sustain

Monday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! One certainty we have in this life is that eventually, we will pass away. It's not a fun fact or a pleasant thought, but it is the reality of life. How we live this life determines where we will spend forever in eternity. Once we pass away, there are no second chances. We don't get a Mulligan if we don't like the outcome of our eternal destination. It's final. So, while you have the opportunity, seek the Lord while you can. Call upon Him while you are able to. O

Sunday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! There are many claims about Jesus. Some say He never existed. Some say He did exist but was just man who was a religious zealot. With research, we can see He did in fact exist. We can also see, even through secular history, He was deeply involved with faith. Deeper digging into those who were with Him when He walked the earth finds that He did rise from the dead. They were willing to die horrifically for what they knew, believed and saw. They had a living hope b

Saturday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! I lived with a spirit of fear for many years. I regret all the time I lost in my younger years to fear. If I could go back and change things, boy would I! But, God redeems our time and lets us have a better later part than our former part. You don't have to be a slave to fear. You also don't have to live with regret. Regret is actually tied to fear because you fear you missed out on something that you can never get back. Fear is a liar. That's why we must trust

Friday's Verse of the day Devotional
Good morning! It takes a lot of love to endure insults and hardships caused by others. This is why it is so important to keep your relationship with Christ alive and well so you can remain in His love for Him and others. It is hard to see yourself as blessed when being persecuted. But that is what Jesus said you are. We oftentimes take it personal as if they are merely targeting us. But they are targeting Christ who lives in you. Keeping that perspective is important because

Thursday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! Jesus warned us in the last days that things would get hard. It would be full of all kinds of evil and turmoil. He told us it was important to keep yourselves in the love of God because the love of many would grow cold. How's your love for others? The Bible says in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. I believe it will not look like all the fanfare of things many people want it to be, but an extraordinary love being given to us for lost peop

Wednesday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! I remember when I was so deep in sin that I thought if I stepped into a church, it would spontaneously combust or I would be struck by lightning. I thought my deeds would be exposed and I would be seen for the wretch I was. I ran from Jesus and thought that in my sin, He could never love me. I knew the reality of my deeds and knew I wasn't fit to stand before Him. But when I was at the end of myself and ready to die in hopelessness and about to end my own life,

Tuesday's Verse of the Day Devotional
Good morning! Some people try to fit an infinite God into their finite mind. They have a very tough time understanding God, the things of God, the nature of God and the word of God. This is because it is not understood merely by intellect alone. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. It's hard to logically understand God because our logic is flawed by our sinful nature and is not eternal. Our spirit is eternal and that is what needs awakene
