Day 19 of the devotional, “Living a Divinely Inspired Life,” found on YouVersion.com, asks a very thought-provoking question. If someone walked in your shoes for 24 hours, what would they learn about Christ? What do you think they would learn? I believe as Christians we have a responsibility to live our lives in a manner [...]

Are you in the midst of living out God’s plan for your life? For some the call has been a spectacular moment with God… a miraculous event. For me, His call has come in the quietness of my heart, revealed through the Bible, circumstances, and/or the encouragement of other Christians. The interesting thing for me about His call has [...]
There is nothing more important than our devotion to Jesus Christ. The most important thing we can do is to praise Jesus – in all things and situations we need to offer our praise to him. Once someone begins to hear that call, a suffering worthy of the name of Christ is produced. Suddenly, every ambition, [...]

Several weeks ago I was checking my son in at church. I was in the process of making the correct selections for the class he was going to be in when he noticed a button on the screen that read, “Edit Walker.” With his 9-year-old wheels turning he asked, “What does that mean?” I replied, [...]
Psalm 51 is the heart of David speaking with God concerning the sin he committed in adultery with Bathsheba. It’s interesting to point out verse 4, David’s confession to God, “Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;” The bottom line to David’s sin is that it was against God – his Heavenly Father. It brought [...]
I normally don’t title my posts until after I write. This one is a bit different. “It’s not about me.” Unfortunately, I have made my life about me. For several years I have listened to the silence.

Posted: January 22, 2012 in Calling, Discipleship, Faith, Holy Spirit, Spiritual GiftsI’m reading, “Living a Divinely Inspired Life,” on YouVersion as a devotional these days. Today’s devotion is entitled, Discover your Spiritual Gifts. I grew up in a church tradition that focused a lot on Spiritual Gifts. It seems to me there is less of a focus on this in the churches I have been a [...]
Rise to the occasion… pt. 2
Posted: May 25, 2009 in Bible Reading, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Peter, Spiritual GrowthWhile reading in The Message this morning, there are three verses that stand out to me: Grace and peace to you many times over as you deepen in your experience with God and Jesus, our Master (2 Peter 1:2). Jesus resplendent with light from God the Father as the voice of Majestic Glory spoke: “This [...]
It’s the end of one of those weeks I would much rather forget. I couldn’t wait to get to this day… FRIDAY!!! It’s way too easy to get lost in a terrible, no good, rotten week. It’s been one of those week were you begin to think, “I don’t think things could get worse!” Then [...]
I haven’t asked the question in awhile: How are you doing with your Read through the Bible for 2009? Are you on task with your goal for the year? Have you begun to develop a healthy habit in reading the Bible? I hope so! The past several weeks have been tough for me. My routine [...]
