Hebrews 13:7-16 At first glance this may seem to be a strange passage to choose for a devotional. As with many things, the second or third glance will uncover a deep and practical truth. Take a pencil and circle the phrase “go to him outside the camp” in v. 11. Here...

We spent a lot of time this week discussing some fairly esoteric concepts. Today we will get nice and practical. In Peter’s first letter, he is speaking to a group of Christians who were experiencing severe persecution for their faith. They were being attacked...

Hebrews 10:19-26 Don’t be misled by the title of today’s devotional. We are not going to discuss some esoteric hodge-podge or potpouri of spiritualities. No, this title has a much simpler and sillier origin. I like to call Hebrews a salad letter because there are so...

Ephesians 4:17-24 Take your pencil and underline a key phrase in v. 19 — “having lost all sensitivity”. This is one of the greatest dangers that we face in our modern, technological cultures. Being inundated with information in a continuous stream, it is very...

Ephesians 3:14-21 I am going to take this opportunity to put on my pastor hat for a moment. Normally I try to write this devotional in the third person, in a generic way, so that anyone could pick it up and use it. Today I want to break out of that mode and speak as a...
