19 October 2010: Be Strong
Times are TOUGH. We’ve seen before (1 Pet 4:12) that we shouldn’t be surprised by the “fiery trial” that is guaranteed to beset those who are getting it right. This challenge will not go away. The title of this devotion … Continue reading

6 October 2010: Love
Is love an unstoppable force or something that we can control? Put another way, can you love “on demand” or is love at the mercy of your feelings at the moment? The culture in which we live generally holds to … Continue reading

5 October 2010: KNOW
October is a gorgeous time of year in New England, as well as much of the rest of the world. In Iraq, the soldiers are sighing with a little relief from the blistering privations of April-September as the rainy season … Continue reading
