It’s Never Too Late…

The Most Important Thing You Do Today

Every day we have a to-do list of things we want to get done. Here in North America, we live in a culture that is entertained to death. People binge on movies and video games. […]

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Let me consider that question. Where do you live? How do you dress? What is your diet? Do I like the temperature where you live…or your government? Won’t you be my neighbor? God has called us to love our neighbor. Who is my neighbor? […]

More than Enough

More than Enough

Over the past several months in Haiti, there has been a lack of peace due to political unrest. As Christmas approaches, my prayer is Jesus becomes more than enough for the people of Haiti. […]

God Watches Over His Word To Perform It

“The Lord said to me, ̔You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.̓” Jeremiah 1:12

I left my house at 4:30 a.m. to catch a 6:00 a.m. flight to JFK International Airport. Without any luggage, I picked up my rental car, and drove over an hour to Avenel, New Jersey.[…]

What are You Doing?

What are You Doing?

In Colossians 3:23-24 we read, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” […]

Are You The Good Neighbor?

Are You The Good Neighbor?

At the age of eleven, I moved to Haiti and lived in a remote village by the sea. While there, I learned a great deal about the value of community. I remember walking to the shoreline and helping villagers pull in the fishing net. This process was a key source of food for Haitians—and it wasn’t possible without community. […]

The Narrow and Wide Gate
/ Devotions

The Narrow and Wide Gate

There are two different paths and gates described in God’s Word. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14). […]

Have I Not Commanded You?

His Grace is More Than Enough

Do you know anyone who is suffering? Some people have asked, “Is God good? Is He powerful? Does He exist?” Since sin came into the world through Adam and Eve, there is suffering. […]

Our Father Who Art in Heaven

In 1976 I was a 15-year-old sophomore at West Boylston High School. My English teacher, Mr. Kendall, caught me cheating on an exam and gave me an F grade. Then, I missed two exams, and by April I ended up in a situation where I was going to have to repeat sophomore English. […]

The Mark of Love
/ Devotions

The Mark of Love

I greet you with a holy kiss. Romans 16:16 instructs us to greet our brothers and sisters in Christ with a holy kiss. Isn’t it strange how we read the Word, and believe it is God speaking to us, but then conclude that things have changed, and it is not really relevant today? […]

Pray First

Pray First

When I look at the life of Jesus, I admire His discipline and dependence on prayer. When it comes to prayer, communicating to God was even the utmost priority for Jesus. He knew the importance to pray first. […]

Getting Alone with God

Getting Alone with God

God always gets His man alone. All of the stories in the Bible tell of someone getting alone with God. Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Jacob—even Jesus would get alone with God. One of my favorite stories from the Bible is that of Elijah alone in a cave after calling down fire on Mount Carmel. […]
