God Is Greater Than Our Hearts
1 John 3:20 “For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.” Have you ever heard anyone say, “I know God has forgiven me, but I’ll never be able to forgive myself”? Self-condemnation can come from several places, in any case, it is an enemy the Lord has already defeated. Romans 8:1 tells us, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” This verse covers all condemnation, including…
West Virginia Deployment
Over the July 4th weekend CH Toni Barros and CH Brenda Swartz deployed to assist the flood victims in West Virginia. What a learning experience this was. Here are some of the highlights of what we learned; ~ Prior to leaving have a Rear Detachment set up to handle additional needs, logistics and information flow. Having a Rear Detachment (back home group of Chaplains) will allow research of shelters, contact names and additional needs getting done while the deployment group…

The “Do Nots”
I don’t know about you but I suffer sometimes from the “do nots” in my walk. When Jesus was teaching he often spoke about the “do nots”. You know – do not worry, do not fear and oh yea – do not doubt. It’s not like I wake up every morning and while drinking my coffee I add in a dash of worry, stir in a little fear and wash it all down with doubt … but there are days…
Seek Wisdom – Devotional
1 Corinthians 1:30 “Of God are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.” In all of your daily life, your ways, your work, in everything abide in Jesus as your wisdom. Your body and your daily life share in the great salvation: In Christ, the wisdom of God, provision has been made for your guidance too. Your body is His temple, your daily life is the sphere for glorifying…
The Living Water part 2
Luke 24:25 “. . . . slow of heart to believe.” The second stage is from the words Jesus spoke to the disciples when he told them that they “were slow of heart to believe.” They heard the message from the women, and they told the Stranger that walked with them: (Luke 15:22-23) “Certain women of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; and when they found not his body, they came, saying that they had…
The Living Water
Luke 24:5-6 ‘And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” Imagine how the disciples were feeling that morning as they started…
His Gifts – Our Service part 4
John15:7 “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” If you are abiding in Jesus and His words abide in you, they teach us to pray in accordance with the will of God. Abiding in Jesus our self-will is kept down to a minimum, and the thoughts and wishes of nature are brought into captivity to the thoughts and wishes of Jesus. Like mindedness…
His Gifts – Our Service part 5
John 15:9 “As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.” Before Jesus speaks the word that invites us to abide in His love, He first tells us what that love is. What He says about it gives force to His invitation and makes the thought of not accepting it an impossibility: “As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.” How can we have a right understanding of this love?…
His Gifts – Our Service part 3
1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Believe that, as surely as you have part in Jesus, you have His Spirit too. Believe that He will do His work with power if you do…
Hi Gifts – Our Service part 2
1 John 2:27 “The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you . . . and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” A life always abiding in Jesus is a beautiful thought. The more we think about it the more attractive it becomes. Yet how often it is that the words “abide in me” in John 15:4 are heard by young Christians with a sigh as if they understand so little about what…
