Peace Will Prevail: Sunday Devotion
Finding Ways to Walk Together as One Nation Under God. Psalm 85:8-10 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly.

One Moment Everything is Fine, and Then….
I just got out of the hospital about three hours ago. It was such a shock to find myself in a potentially life-threatening position and a need to be rushed to the emergency room at the local hospital.

Sometimes We Have to Rescue Ourselves!
Photo by David Altmejd I felt the heaviness of a sorrow too deep to name, As I tried to understand the violence, but it was in vain.

The Lord’s Loving Deeds: Psalm Wednesday
I had been baptized at nine years old, but I had never truly prayed to God out of a serious need for help until I experienced domestic abuse as a teenager. His answering my prayers convinced me further of the love of God. Last week, we examined Psalm 107, verses 1-22, and this week, I... Continue Reading →
