DEVOTIONAL

For such a time as this, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we have been called to be the Lord’s witnesses in a day of sheer darkness. We are to be a lighthouse in a violent storm of moral decay holding fast to the word of truth for all the world to see. Yes, it is a time of madness; A time when evil is called good and good is called evil. It is a time when God’s fundamental truths have been tossed to the wind, conscience has been raped of its God given conviction, and has been replaced with the world’s standards. During these days it seems as if the dominant thread that is woven in the fabric of culture has become predominantly evil. Men and women alike have become lovers of self, lovers of money, unholy, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, becoming wise in their own estimations while denying the very truth that is written upon their own hearts. Saints of God, though our culture grows closer to adopting all of the sexual deviations that ancient Rome adopted before its fall, we must first repent of our own sins and come before the Lord in holy prayer. This must be an inward movement of the heart, driven by the deepest affections of our soul.

When The World Doesn’t Recognize Who You Really Are

Several years ago we spent four days in Disney World. We did practically everything there that could be done. We didn’t go for any of that “go back to the room for a nap” stuff. Nope, we tackled those parks and stayed until we shut the place down every single night. I mean, when you’re paying that much money, you don’t want to waste any time napping, right?

I have been given my fair share of second chances, more often than I deserve. But who am I to know what I deserve? In this time of being thankful, my thought process kept returning me to how many times I was provided second chances (even third and fourth chances), and I am grateful for them.

It’s that time of year again. What time is it do you ask? Why the popcorn? It’s Black Friday this week. It’s the time of year that we see the best in people and the worse in people. The popcorn is for watching the show that is about to be put on by the madness that is Black Friday. There will be a truck full of videos of people acting the fool.

Thanksgiving is finally here in the year 2020, and what a year it has been. Wow. Is it over yet? But seriously, even in a year that has included a pandemic, we have so much for which to be thankful. In some ways, this year has lasted a lifetime for me, but in other ways, it has flown by. I recall getting engaged this time last year, thinking our wedding would be a long time away--it is about four weeks away now! That is unreal to me.
