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.

Blazing A Trail God's Way - Poem For Nov 18

   Blazing A Trail God’s Way Way back in olden times, in the pioneer days, “Go West, Young man,” was an often heard phrase. Go make your own mark, go blaze your own trail - In the eyes of the world you will never fail. But the way to make a difference in the eyes of the Lord Is to base your whole life upon the truths found in God’s Word. Jesus is the Author of your faith - He’s already blazed the way; Follow closely in His footsteps, cling to Him every day. “I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” you’ll never walk alone; He has a plan and a purpose that you can call your very own; He will provide all things that will need to serve Him faithfully; Stir up the gifts He’s given you; keep your eyes on eternity. He’s the Finisher of your faith - that means He has a plan; “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” Remember the Good Shepherd, who came to seek and to save; “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not” - be Brave! The path of the just shine...

What's Your (Spiritual) Net Worth? - Devotional For Nov 14

What's Your Net Worth? Of course, you probably started thinking about your monetary value, your assets – any property you may have, houses and cars, perhaps other valuable items like stocks and bonds, or antiques. But I am not referring to any kind of worldly wealth, but actually thinking about spiritual matters. In your walk with the Lord, what's your net worth? What value do you place on your net? Matthew 4:18-22  And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. Luke 5:2  And saw two ships standing by ...

Two Encouraging Poems About Jesus For Sept 29

Yesterday, I was updating some links on a testimony I had put together after my Mom passed away in September 2005, called God’s Grace In Our Trials (Dealing with the loss of my Mom) , and found two really good and encouraging poems that ministered to me at that time. I would love to share them with you here. The testimony is super long, as it is all about how the Lord worked in mine and my sister's lives during the year our Mom went home to be with the Lord. It is worth reading if you are dealing with the loss of loved ones or wondering how you will ever get through The Valley of the Shadow of Death yourself (ie. in the sense of it looming over you as you see the health of a loved one decline over time, and see the shadow of death affecting your lives). Here are the two poems: Fear (Poem by Martha Snell Nicholson) Because You Passed My Way
