Christ as King
Amazing love, how can it be That You, my King, should die for me? When you think about a king, you may envision someone surrounded by servants--someone who speaks the word, and people start rushing to quickly carry out his commands. In times past, one misplaced step...

The Convoluted Cathedral Quartet Catalog Condundrum
The Cathedral Quartet is among the most well-loved and respected gospel groups in history. There isn't a quartet singer today who isn't familiar with the rich history of the Cathedrals, and you would be hard pressed to find many fans who don't own at least SOMETHING...

SONY’S DEVOTIONS
May God Be Glorified
As I sit down to write, I wonder if I have anything of worth to say. It's been over a month since my last post, and part of that is due to life being busy, dealing with stressful situations, and yet making time where I can to draw near to God because He is the One who...
According to Your Word
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. ~Luke 1:38 I confess that I do not like it when things don't go my way. I may not scream and throw things, but I struggle just the same. I...
A Famine of Knowledge
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me. ~Hosea 4:6 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a...
Praise God Even in Adversity
Nebuchadnezzar was a king that God used to punish the Israelites when they had turned their back on Him once again. Instead of acknowledging the God who had given him this position, the king boasted of his abilities until one day God had enough. This arrogant being...
God Will Provide
I am in awe of God's mercy and goodness, but I'm also reminded that "to whom much is given, much is required" (Luke 12:48). God doesn't elevate a person so that the person can become a big shot. Everything He does is so HE can get glory. If you are in ministry, you...
Jesus Is the Resurrection!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies. ~John 11:25 This morning, I'm thinking of two friends who passed away recently. One was a church greeter who used to greet us on Easter morning with the...

Deliver Us from Evil
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. ~Matthew 6:13 This past week, a man that we used to attend church with was murdered. This has brought up the age-old discussion of, If God could have stopped it, why didn't He? There are things we will never...

Calling the Talented
If you are not familiar with the Parable of the Talents, read Matthew 25:14-30 in your Bible and then come back to this. For those who know the story, let's continue. If you've heard a pastor preach on this passage, the emphasis has no doubt been on the unfaithful...
A Better Way
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ~2 Corinthians 5:17 In the last century, salvation has been watered down to a simple "pray-this-prayer-and-you're-saved" technique. Gone are the...
