DEVOTIONAL: Declare His Glory
Declare His glory to the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples. There is a verse in the book of psalms that I love; Psalm 96:3, ‘declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.’ It’s a verse that gets me thinking. It’s a privilege to know that I get to share …
DEVOTIONAL: Take God out of the box
Boxing God in. What is your view of God? When you think about God, how powerful is He in your mind? Is He sovereign? Does God seem mighty and all knowing? Or is God more human like? There have been times where I have put God into a neat little box. And the God that …

Deuteronomy 7:9 – Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

DEVOTIONS: Who told you that?
Who told you that you were naked? One of the questions that God asks Adam and Eve in the garden is who told them they were naked. He didn’t ask them why they were naked, he asked them who told them they were naked. As I read this question, I find it goes beyond just …
DEVOTIONAL: He will do it again
He will do it again. It’s so easy for us to forget what God has done. We often read the bible and wonder at how the people of Israel could so quickly forget what God rescued them from. We wonder at their grumbling in the desert, shaking our head at their attitude. But the truth …
