Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a believer, without God’s ordering and permission…There is no such thing as “chance,” “luck” or “accident” in the Christian’s journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God. And all things are “working together” for the believer’s good. —J. C. Ryle (1816-1900), Anglican bishop, … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

Devotional Thought – “Foundations” – 01/28/2025

Today’s Devotion will be slightly different. In today’s in-depth study portion, I will not focus on a specific text but on the concept of a biblical foundation.

Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024

The title of this devotional is “The Visible God,” but the image above (from the Hymn we all sing) claims God is invisible. Are we quoting the Bible wrong? Have we found a contradiction in it? Or maybe our Theology is weak? Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His … More Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024
