The Bishops – “One Way” (1985)

I hope you enjoy this series as we journey through their music…starting with their first national release, “One Way”. Check it out…

SONY’S DEVOTIONS
Seek Your Servant
My mind has been going in a lot of directions the last few days as I've been processing the National Quartet Convention which I watched online last week. I had thought I might share some of the things I took away from that since it would be semi-Southern...
NQC 2019 – Saturday
While I was not able to attend the closing concert, I did attend the two showcases earlier in the day and they were both fabulous! Gerald Wolfe brought his popular Hymn Sing to NQC, and he sure had lots of artists that were conveniently available to take the stage...
Do You Believe in God?
When asked the title question, I expect everyone reading this would answer, "Yes, I do!" But does your life reflect what you profess to believe? It's easy for the majority of people to believe in God. James 2:19 tells us that even the demons believe ... and they...
Where Is Your Trust?
"And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians" (2 Chronicles 16:12). A few weeks ago, I reconnected with a friend whom I hadn't...
Don’t Stop the Lyrics
My dad and I attended a small music festival last evening. The opening act was the worship team for a local church. The lead singer had a good testimony, and the songs were all focused on the Lord. Next up was an African children's choir. They were lively and radiated...
Do You Know Jesus?
When asked the title question, I'm guessing everyone reading this would say, "Sure I do." You may go on to explain how you attend church regularly, sing in the choir, read the Bible, pray, etc. But that's not the question. Do you really know Jesus? Do you know who He...
Our God Is …
If I asked you to describe God in one word, what would you say? I expect some would immediately shout out, "awesome," "wonderful," "amazing." And He is all of these things, but I wonder how many would say, "holy," "righteous," "just." Hebrews 12:29 tells us that "Our...

Remember!
"If you should say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?'--you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt." ~Deuteronomy 7:17-18 Remembering. It seems like...
Turn Your Burdens to Prayer
I confess that I am guilty of taking way too many burdens upon myself. Family members who don't know the Lord, others making bad decisions, some having financial difficulty ... you name it, I feel it, and it can literally affect my health. In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus...
Looking Forward
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians...
