Weekly Devotional

I’m not talking about a dream in the night or a passing wish for something you want. I am talking about about a deep desire that you have your heart — an aspiration, a goal, or something that is bigger than yourself? 

This weekend we spent some quality time with a dear 92-year-old man. As I sat next to him, he just started reminiscing about his life — the hard times and the happy times. He lived a simple life, but a life full of faith.

I just finished reading our favorite marriage book, and this thought jumped off the page.

This week our kids made a complete mess of our living room... and it made me think of the family of God.

John 3:30 contains the words of one of the greatest men during Jesus’ earthly ministry, but I believe it is a mindset that is so easily lost amidst our media-saturated culture.

I was struck by a statement while reading a Bible commentary by Warren Wiersbe: “What you do with your heart determines what you do with your life.” 

This week I was so encouraged when I got a text message saying: “Thinking of you and I wanted to know if there is one specific thing I could pray for you about?”

All across this country people gather to remember that monumental day, 246 years ago — now we have the freedom to share about the greatest freedom!
