Daily Devotions

I remember a service when one of our deacons shared his testimony prior to leading our intercessory prayer.  As part of his testimony, he led the congregation in the song “Falling in Love with Jesus”.  That song has always lifted my spirit; because of all of the relationships I have been blessed to have, the…

On this Father’s Day, we pause to give honor to God for faithful fathers. There are so many of our children who are void of a strong spiritual father. We know the statistics and hear them time and time again. However, we cannot overlook those spiritual fathers who pray and honor God by their faithfulness…

On many occasions, I have used our prayer line as a source of reference for these devotions.  I have repeatedly said on many occasions how blessed the prayer line has become in my own personal life.  Early in the morning, we turn our faces to God to give Him thanks and to acknowledge His goodness. …

I’m constantly asking God to examine me.  I do this, because I’m fully aware that I need to take inventory of my life.  I also need God to guide me so the deficiencies in my life may be clearly revealed to me.  I, like most people, can easily see defects in others, but have a…

As we pray, we must always be mindful of our need to pray for those who are not yet saved.  We must be willing to recognize that somebody prayed for us; for, we have not always been saved.  Consequently, our prayers should be for others. When I think of the need to pray for others,…
