“Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 When Jesus returned the disciples, He found the arguing in Mark 9. They have been unable to heal a boy who had been brought to them. The father talks to Jesus about the boy. The verse above is the father’s response. Why do revivals take place during hard times? Because when we are desperate we have to...

The picture of a shepherd caring for the sheep is a beautiful illustration of God’s care for us.

Have you noticed how many times our spiritual walk is tied to gardening or farming? If you have ever planting a garden or even flowers in or around your home, you know that gardening takes patience. The seeds get planted, but they have to grow to produce fruit. In our spiritual lives it is the same way. We have to continually tend to the spiritual disciplines in order to grow, to produce fruit. Sh...

Back in my playground days, I wanted to be picked first for the team. People don’t remember you if you are picked after first (unless your last, but that is for another time!). The truth is, the rest of the team is picked after the first person and the order is so much less important. They simply part of the team. What does that mean? Check out today’s devotional.

We are going to make mistakes. They might not be huge, life altering mistakes, but we will fail from time to time. That doesn’t mean that we should give up. Instead, we need to confess that we have made a mistake and keep pursuing God. 1 John 1:9 states “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Join a Bible reading group!
