DEVOTIONAL THOTS: John 8

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery John 8:3 (GW) The first thot that comes to mind regarding this verse is where did the Pharisees know where to find this woman so readily? Where is the man she weas having the affair with? He should have been there for sure. This was a set uo pure and simple. The footnote in the Life Application Study Bible regarding 8:3-6 states that the religious leaders had broken the Law by not arressting the man. The Law… Continue

SUFFERING....NO COMPARRISON

No Comparison!

James Smith, 1862

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us!" Romans 8:18

The mortification of sin—proves that we have the life of God;

the life of God—proves that we are the children of God;

being the children of God—proves that we are the heirs of God;

and being the heirs of God—proves that our inheritance is sure!

We shall… Continue

Grace--when only grace will do

I remember the drive up to Santa Ana like it was yesterday, going to visit a friend’s mother who was about to lose her battle with cancer. I

wound my way through an old neighborhood, checked to make sure the

house number was correct, and walked up to ring the doorbell. A rose lover myself, I couldn’t help but notice several beautiful garden roses she had on her front walkway.…

DEVOTIONAL THOTS: John 7

He didn't want to travel in Judea because Jews there wanted to kill him John 7:1 (GW)

When I still worked with Young Offenders I recall receiving death threats in fact one youth even got hold of my phone number and threatened to kill me. The Police were called in to investigate. I have never been threatened with death because of my faith in Christ. I have been ridiculed, laughed at and insulted. With the way things are changing here in Canada that may change. I receive a weekly… Continue

The Mayor, The Judge, The Verdict

What should be done when public officials break the law? Consider the mayor of one American city caught accepting a $5,000 bribe in exchange for promising government work contracts. Because the transaction was secretly videotaped, his guilt in court was beyond question. But…

DEVOTIONAL THOTS: John 6

5 As Jesus saw a large crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 Jesus asked this question to test him. He already knew what he was going to do John 6:5-6 (GW)

Recently I have started reading the Gospel Of John for my morning devotions and I want to share some thots from these devotionals. These thots are not on the whole chapter rather from certain passages that stood out or one might say that "grabbed" me at the time as I was… Continue

Grace. 2 Cor. 5.20 - 6.2

In the movie “The Last Emperor”, the young child anointed as the last emperor of China lives a magical life of luxury with a thousand eunuch

servants at his command. “What happens when you do wrong?” his brother asks. “When I do wrong, someone else is punished,” the boy emperor replies. To demonstrate, he breaks a jar, and one of the servants is beaten.…

Psalm 91

This happens to be one of my favourite Psalms and I say it every morning. Its so beautiful. Every line is so wonderful. It is full of promises and assurances and what more can we want.

As we find most of the Psalms in the Bible are of praise and thanksgiveing, but this one is quite unique. It promises us untold and unmeasured safety and security. Nothing much is expected from us in return just that we surrender ourselves to JESUS and trust in HIM blindly.

A few…

Time and time again . . .

Beloved,

From the beginning of this week, I had been encouraging a brother who recently went to jail (and waiting for his sentence) for not surrendering an iPhone to the police. Something he ought to do, but kept it in possession until they found him.…

Faith Focuses on God's Possibility Not on Human Impossibility

Faith Focuses on God’s Possibility, Not on Human Impossibility

Romans 4:19-21: “And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to…
