SONY’S DEVOTIONS
Slow Down
Every driver knows the signs along the road. Some mean stop, some mean go, some mean proceed with caution, and others mean slow down because conditions are ripe for you or someone else to be hurt if you don't. So it is in the journey of life. Back in June of this year...

Changes, trips, and new releases.
Obedience Is Not Impossible
One of my brother's favorite hashtags is #ReadOldDeadGuys. There is a lot of truth in that, as it is hard to find modern-day authors who hold to the truth of the Bible and challenge others to do the same. In the words of Rodney Griffin, I miss preachers who will "tell...
Feel His Presence
I woke up this morning with the song "Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary" going through my head. Throughout the day, various lyrics and scriptures have filtered through my brain. I am so thankful that God often brings the perfect words to mind right when I need them. And...
Talk about Jesus
I was visiting with a friend the other night and was struck by how easily she talked about the Lord. It wasn't contrived or forced, but it flowed. She gave Him the credit for everything. It seems like many people are not that comfortable talking about what God is...
Oh, To Be Like Barnabas
If someone were to ask who in the Bible you would like to emulate apart from Jesus, what would you say? Maybe you would think of Peter or Paul--dynamic, bold preachers, full of the Holy Spirit. Or you might think of Moses or Gideon, strong leaders whom God chose to...
I Love You
I love you. One of the most beautiful phrases that you can say and yet society has distorted love to the point that, if you were to tell someone you love them, especially outside of your immediate family, they might become uncomfortable or look at you as if they're...
Be Faithful
"Nothing that we do for God is small." I read these words from D.L. Moody this morning. It reminds me of the song that says, "Little is much when God is in it." I need to be reminded of this sometimes. OK. I need to be reminded quite often. I turned 45 a couple months...
He’s Still Alive
If you knew Him like I know HimYou would know that He's aliveIf you felt Him like I feel HimResurrection deep insideYou'd know He's living, and death has died! If you attend a traditional church, there's a good chance that you sang the following words this morning: I...
Press On Anyway
My mom passed away in January. A friend's dad died the next day. In the last couple of weeks, I met some young ladies who lost their mom the same week we did, found out that a friend died last month, and discovered that a man we knew years ago is in jail for murder....
Two Are Better Than One
"Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.But woe to him who is alone when he falls,For he has no one to help him up." ~Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 In the first line of these verses, I picture...
