Bible Devotions

  • poor homeless Jesus

    “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Matt 8:20 Mind you, there is no easy road to discovering this. But it’s only when you have nothing that you realize the Lord is all you ever needed.  And when you get Read more

  • Authority in Christ

    I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a more substantially sound biblical view of spiritual warfare and the authority of the believer. Could be very challenging teaching to receive, I would encourage that you give God room to use this teaching to broaden your understanding. http://mikebickle.org/resources/resource/2837 Read more

  • have rubbish or have Christ… choose one

    But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that Read more

  • an environment of faith

    And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. ~ Matthew 13:58 If you have spent any time in the Gospels you see this principle many times. Some times Jesus removed the crowds from around a sick person and had only those with strong faith to enter into that room with Him. Read more

  • they loved the darkness

    “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so Read more

  • pretentious personas

    Like a wealthy white kid from the suburbs driving a fancy car, and acting like a thug raised in poverty and violence; when trouble comes the kid will revert back to the truth of the matter, and will have to quit acting. His pretentious persona will be challenged and reckoned. So too, we call ourselves Read more

  • on earth as it is in heaven

    Moses was warned by God when he was about to build the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown  you on the mountain.”   ~  Hebrews 8:5 Love that God gives Moses a vision of what was already in heaven. Love this pattern. It speaks to Read more

  • First things FIRST

    “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it, the LORD is His name, ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’” ~ Jeremiah 33:2-3 I have many opinions, most of which were forged on the back of Read more

  • peace

    He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. 6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the Read more

  • wheat and tares

    ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ “And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ “But he said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you Read more
