I was on my way to work this morning and the first song that came on the radio, was directly related to my devotion this morning. It's amazing how God just does little things that make His Word click at a particular moment. Sometimes we may question if we are doing enough, or if what we do makes...
Romans 12:21
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
I struggle with this daily. Turning the other cheek is one thing, but doing something good to those that "don't deserve" is hard for me to get past.
I just pray that God give me His eyes and heart to see that those...
I know I've been guilty of focusing on what I don't have rather then reflecting on everything the God has blessed me with. I lost my job a couple years ago and luckily found something that was pretty close to home, but not really close to the money I was making. As most of us know you have a...
I was listening to Dr. David Jeremiah on the radio on the way home this evening and he made a really good point. Joy is a choice. It's all in your perspective. We can look at circumstances in our lives and be sad or disheartened, which is easy enough to do during trials and struggles, or we can...
My wife and I just returned home from the Emergency Room with our 4 week old son who had been suffering from some breathing problems. With my history of lung deficiency (asthma) we are always cautious with our children. My 2nd daughter was admitted to the hospital at 5 weeks old with pneumonia...
I've been going through a series this week on humility, and this one stood out to me. It wasn't in today's reading but it meant the most to me. It's always been a struggle of mine. I'm a rather self-confident person, but its a fine line to walk between confidence and haughtiness.
This reminds...
I didn't really see any other place for this so I'm seeing if anyone else has dabbled in this game.
Free to Play MOBA from HiRez. What I really enjoy about this game is that all abilities are skill shots, some are AOE but you still have to place it properly. I come from a long line of FPS...
Life sometimes feels like a lottery with the odds stacked against us. It may be poor health, job loss, or a number of other things.
However, there are a number of examples in the Bible of those who stayed strong in the toughest circumstances. They were blessed beyond imagine.
So when we face...
I've been excited about this little ministry on the forums, and have really been blessed by it. I have my life verse in my signature, and thought to myself... "Why haven't I used this as a VotD thread?" Well, here it is! :)
I actually have a tattoo of this verse reference on my chest. It's a...
I'm not sure how many people follow the Verse of the Day thread, but I want to post it here.
My wife gave birth yesterday to our 3rd child! My first son! I'll list his stats later. He is doing wonderful, but he was a big boy so my wife was having some complications last night. She is heavily...
I pulled this one specifically for today because my wife and I just had our 3rd child yesterday! My first son!

Seems practical enough, too many people out there today don't take the time to be parents. They are missing out on a great blessing from God...
I've been struggling with this a lot. I've got rage when it comes to people who don't show care towards others. Road rage gets me in trouble the most. Inconsiderate people not caring about the well being of others and how their actions could change the lives of other people for the worse...
In this day and age everyone is out to satisfy their own desires. Clearly this verse points out that the end result of self gratification is death.
Today we celebrate our independence as a nation. Let's not take advantage of our freedoms by being self indulgent, but by exercising out freedom...
I was listening to the radio on the way into work this morning and heard this verse, and decided to do my daily devotion on it this evening on a whim.
It's a very well known passage for the most part, and so simple to understand. Yet sometimes its the hardest thing to do. Neighbors aren't...
Greetings!
My family is in the middle of a big move this weekend and while packing up our stuff my wife stumbled upon my old CD collection. I've got a very short ride to work and due to the recent downfall of my last vehicle my current one doesn't have a CD player so I haven't listened to...
Proverbs 4:23
NASB
I've been going through a series called "It came from within" and this verse really puts the whole study into perspective for me. Have you ever had one of those moments where you get to a "breaking point" and you say something or react terribly and you use the excuse...
Greetings!
I've been flipping through the threads in the past and haven't really come across a link regarding this really neat ministry. I've got a cool bracelet from them, but the videos are an excellent resource for anyone that might be struggling in their Christian walk. I personally love...
