    When serving others feels really hard
    Jul 17 2026
    Serving others is mentioned in a variety of biblical passages. One of them is Galatians 5:13: “Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Ultimately, Jesus is our example. He was serving others non-stop. He washed his disciples’ feet. He healed people. He cast out […]

    The God in whose hand is your breath
    Jul 20 2026
    The world can seem like a very big place. There are lots of people. There are lots of voices—some good, some bad. There is a lot of noise. There is a lot of arguing. There is a lot of information. The word “overload” comes to mind. In light of all of this, it’s easy to […]

  • Ugliness and beauty

    Ugliness and beauty
    Jul 21 2026
    There is a lot of beauty in our world. But let’s be honest. There is also a lot of ugliness. Let me provide a few examples: The non-stop fighting—between nations, in politics, and sometimes even in homes. Profanity and pornography which continually reinvents itself to shock and ensnare us more and more. The trafficking of […]

  • Foreshadowing the future

    Foreshadowing the future
    Jul 22 2026
    In the previous devotional, I talked about how the future is beautiful. Yes, there can be ugliness in our world, but it won’t always be this way. This is partly based on passages like 2 Peter 3:13 where the apostle says this: “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a […]

  • Scoffers gonna scoff

    Scoffers gonna scoff
    Jul 23 2026
    In 2 Peter 3:3, the apostle gives a warning to his fellow Christians: “scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.” He is about to teach them about the return of Jesus. There are “scoffers,” he says. Literally, the text says “scoffers in their scoffing.” They doubt God, they […]

    Screens are everywhere. Be discerning.

    I recently watched Disclosure Day. It’s the latest movie from producer Steven Spielberg. I was interested because there had been a lot of talk about it, including from within the Christian community. The reason for this chatter had to do with the topic—Aliens! But not just that. Spielberg went out of his way to […]

  • There will my servant be also

    There will my servant be also
    Jul 27 2026
    As you probably know, Jerusalem has seen a lot of bombs. Fairly recently, I learned about a group of people named the Zaka. After a bomb goes off, they put on their yellow visibility vests and rush to the scene. They often get there before the paramedics. They gather the body pieces of people who […]

    “Still we will praise Him!!”
    Jul 28 2026
    “The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him…” (Exodus 15:2) Recently, I saw a video someone recorded while passing by a home. It had been devastated by a massive fire. The entire inside was burned out. All that was left […]
