The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death - Devotional For Sept 29

When I started preaching at the Kelowna Gospel Mission, my first few messages were on the different Valleys of Life. One of my favourite of that series that I called Lessons In The Valleys was The Valley of the Shadow of Death. While I preached Psalm 23 in two parts, I only ever wrote up my study for the first part. It is still worth the read though.

The Valley of the Shadow of Death

Lord willing, tomorrow I will post another one in this series about how the Lord Jesus Christ is with us in all our valleys.

But God... - Devotional For Dec 5

  But God... I was reading another blog the other day, and I came across this quote in one of the comments that were posted: "But God" ... What a wonderful phrase ... what a wonderful truth. I do not recall the passage the poster was referring to (if he had actually stated it or not), but the phrase and his comment stuck with me. But God... So I started looking through the Bible to see some passages where this phrase (as well as "But the Lord") is used. Here are some that particularly blessed me: Genesis 39:20-21  And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.  But the LORD  was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Acts 7:9-10  And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:  but God  was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of P...

"Abba, Father!" - Hymn For December 6

"Abba, Father!" "Abba, Father!" We approach Thee In our Savior's precious Name; We, Thy children, here assembled, Now Thy promised blessing claim; From our sins His blood hath washed us, 'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh, And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us, "Abba, Father," thus to cry. Once as prodigals we wandered In our folly far from Thee, But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding, Rescued us from misery; Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned, Kissed us with a Father's love, Spread the festive board, and called us, E'er to dwell with Thee above. Clothed in garments of salvation, At Thy table is our place, We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest, In the riches of Thy grace; "It is meet," we hear Thee saying, "We should merry and be glad, I have found My once lost children, Now they live who once were dead." "Abba, Father!" all adore Thee, All rejoice in Heav'n above, While in us they learn the wonders Of Thy wisdom, gr...

Everything's Changed - Poem For December 5

  Everything's Changed I once was blind, but now I see - Oh praise the Lord who died for me. He opened my eyes to see my sin; I opened my heart to let Him in. I once was deaf, but now I hear - Immanuel – my God – came near. I heard of how Jesus died for me – His blood – from my sin, has made me free. I once was dumb, mouth closed by sin - Wicked words and thoughts dwelt within; My own heart, the source of all this woe – There’s nowhere else but Jesus to go. I once was lame, but now I’m healed – My evil deeds have been revealed. My heart’s been cleansed from every stain; My footsteps turned to walk right again. I once was blind, deaf, dumb, and lame, Lost, alone, heart shattered by pain; Then I trusted in the Saviour’s name – Since I believed everything’s changed. I once was blind, deaf, dumb, and lame, But praise the Lord that Jesus came! December 21/2010 Jerry Bouey Isaiah 29:18   And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see o...
