“Confidence that one’s impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.”

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 7/13/25
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel … Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
I was very sick and couldn’t get out of bed for two weeks. It was mononucleosis. While I spent my days (and nights) in bed, a song I learned as a child kept playing in my head. I hadn’t thought of it in years. Maybe you know it. It goes like this – “This little light of mine. I’m gonna let it shine… Hide it under a bushel? NO! I’m gonna let it shine!” God had my attention. But what did it mean? Continue reading HERE.

1-minute devotion for Friday, 7/11/25
Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (emphasis mine)
Making a disciple is more than leading someone in the sinner’s prayer. It includes teaching and supporting them in their faith. Making a disciple is a tall order and not one that someone can easily accomplish alone. The Church must work together, each one doing his part. We must ask ourselves: Am I doing my part?

“Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?” Lamentations 3:37 NIV
Although some view declarations as a way to manifest desired outcomes, that’s not what the Bible teaches us. They say, “Start building your faith today by speaking these declarations of faith for your finances, healing and relationships.”
The concept of making declarations, particularly affirmations and decrees, is strongly associated with New Age spirituality.
But as the verse above says, we cannot speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it.

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 7/6/25
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4
Comments: We like to think of ourselves as mature Christians. Or, at least we want to be one. This is how that happens: Trusting God and what He has said in times of difficulty.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 Read full chapter
“When the Galatians trusted Christ, they were freed from the law’s yoke of slavery – in which people try to gain God’s favor by carefully heeding His rules… It seems our default position is to try to work our way to salvation… We are saved by grace through faith” (and not by works!)

A Prison Story
A prisoner talked about the huge impact made on a rough group of fellow prisoners and himself by none other than a nondescript janitor who had worked for years at the prison. This little woman spoke to those hardened men as she held her broom and her words were used by God to pierce their hard hearts with the Gospel.
He said, “Because that janitor, a woman without a title, without a stage – she delivered a sermon that still gets me choked up. She didn’t come to save us. She came to serve. And in doing so, she became the loudest gospel I’d ever heard.”
“That little prison janitor touched toughened hearts through her acts of service. Her stage was a prison meeting room, holding her broom and mop, her dirty bucket of water sitting beside her.” Patty
God loves using the weak things of this world to confound the mighty.
