Your spouse may not change – they may not even need to, from God’s perspective. So seek God this week for ways to grow closer to Him to allow you to be free in an unchanging situation. Whether things change or not, Christ has already set you free, so keep standing firm in Jesus Christ.
One of the most frequent questions that people ask is, “How do you hear from God?”. I can’t help but think of the reality show, The Voice. The judges sit in big chairs, with their back turned to the singer and they listen to the voice of the singer. They don’t get to use their [...]
Last week, as I have for the last few years, I attended our church’s annual 7 Last Words service on Good Friday. As happens at many churches on Good Friday, seven preachers deliver a message based on the seven statements that Jesus made while on the cross.
“Father, forgive them, for they know not [...]
Mark 11:6-10 6 They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from [...]
Week 35
Note: This week’s devotional comes from my book, Husbands, Wives, God: Weekly Devotions: 52 Weeks of Enriching Devotion.

I have been teaching in Bible Study lately, that according to Romans 6 (entire section from chapter 5-8 gives the complete thought), sin no longer has power over us, as believers and followers of Christ.
Romans 6:1-7 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 [...]
Some passages really don’t need a lot said about them. And the 23rd Psalm is definitely in that category. Behind John 3:16 it is probably the most well known passage in the Bible. I think everyone has their own favorite part of this Psalm. If ever there was a passage that evidences the understanding that [...]
Faith is not a possession but an exercise. To say that we acted in faith 20 years ago will do nothing to get us through today. Rather, faith in God is a day by day and probably more accurately a moment by moment exercise. As we exercise faith in what an unseen God can do, we see solutions to our very visible challenges.
Solomon and His Bride: Express Your Love
Read Song of Solomon (especially chapters 7 and
Song of Solomon 8:6–7 “Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very [...]
