On March 21, 2020, I did my first video talk (devotion). Public speaking is not my forte, but the Lord was encouraging me to do this. So, what I did is I just talked about what the Lord was putting on my heart, about what was going on in our world at that time. And … Continue reading In Troubled Times
A Sure Foundation

Your Love Offering
So many times I think we take our God’s love for us for granted, and what he did for us in saving us from our sins and in setting us free, and we forget to thank him for all that he has done for us. So, this song is a song of thanks to God … Continue reading Your Love Offering
For By Grace
This song is based off Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV 1984): “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Salvation is a free gift from God. We do nothing to earn it or to deserve … Continue reading For By Grace

Over the years since receiving my Bible as a gift from my children, I have underlined and even dated many sections of … Continue reading Your Word

My Father will love him, and we … Continue reading If You Love Me

Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am … Continue reading First Things First
Broken Hearts
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was … Continue reading Broken Hearts
Child-Like Faith
"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, 'Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, 'Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever … Continue reading Child-Like Faith
