Today is the most glorious day on the Christian calendar. Today is Resurrection Day, or Easter, the day when Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was resurrected from the dead. His resurrection conquered death forever and provides the foundation of our faith. He completed God’s promised plan of salvation and offers a sure promise of our own resurrection into new, …
Special Message from Jeff Myers
Dear List Members, This email is to inform you that Sunday’s devotional will be the last one. God has called me to work on some heart issues that I have postponed too long. FYI, the website and the devotional archives will remain open for viewing past devotionals. I appreciate your loyal support over the years. It has been a blessing …
Bread Rolls
Have you ever been afraid of bread rolls or bread that rolls? Can these items be a threat to life, limb, and property? Oddly enough, the Bible records such a time, and God’s servant Gideon was a man who benefited from such a fear. His enemy interpreted him to be bread rolling down a hill, capable of significant destruction. At …
Afraid of the Dark
Where do giants go after they die? Two “giants” in their respective professions died recently, just three weeks apart: Billy Graham and Stephen Hawking. By their own admissions, Billy Graham was afraid of the dark; Stephen Hawking was not. Their eternities reflect their attitudes and beliefs toward darkness: Billy is in Heaven with eternal light; Stephen is in Hell engulfed …
Ultimate Reality
“It’s not about you.” This is the opening line from the book “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. This statement shocks many people. Why? – Because the world bombards us with this mantra. Media messages assure us we control our lives, we control our own destinies, we are the center of the Universe, and we deserve the best of …
An Absence of God
Where was God on the morning of Wednesday, February 14, 2018? On that day deranged killer Nikolas Cruz entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida and massacred 17 people. How do we process such incomprehensible events? The horror of innocents slaughtered wholesale staggers the imagination. One has to wonder how such evil can exist. Nothing about it makes …
White as Snow
When Jesus healed the man with leprosy in Matthew 8, it was more than just an “ordinary” miraculous sign. This act demonstrated powerfully His authority and sovereignty. It also made a social statement – Jesus loves everyone, even lepers. Though not Jesus’ first miracle, cleansing the leper sent a deep spiritual message and pointed to His eternal majesty. Leprosy haunted …
A Year of Change
The Hebrew word shannah means year, three hundred sixty five days. The word is mysteriously complicated and connects to the number two. In the language of God’s Holy Word, it can mean second, the duplicate, or the repeat. Over the course of a year, the Earth completes its annual journey around the sun, then repeats or duplicates the process next …
Swine Flew
Swine flu and other influenzas are nasty virus that have caused great mischief and death around the world. Interestingly, swine, i.e. pigs, possess the ability to mutate new virus strains and transmit them to humans. The swine-infecting-humans process started before Jesus came to Earth. Cleverly, our LORD Jesus reversed established processes, both spiritually and physically. Instead of having swine infect …
Shinar Social Club
One hundred years after the great Flood, the world had set a new course for the future. The sons of Noah had parsed out the world for colonization. Each of the tribes had decided on the lands into which they would migrate and settle. Beginning with the closest territories, they would later breach the initial borders as the regional populations …
