From 2000 – 2006, I published a weekday devotional via email. It was called The Way-Maker’s Review, and it represented my first Internet ministry efforts. The ministry grew from its original 12 members to over 1,000. I am determined to revisit and re-run some of the devotions from that ministry here on my blog. Partly…

When I Say Thanks | A Poem of Thanksgiving
When I say thanks… I forget my troubles Or at least put them in perspective When I say thanks… I remember my blessings So many I wouldn’t notice otherwise When I say thanks… I find complaint impossible And comfort inevitable When I say thanks… I find a better me And remember a higher purpose When…
There is a river!
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the dwelling place of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her at the break of day. Psalm 46:4 This is one of my favorite verses. (I have about a thousand…
The GreyBeard Chronicles: “Do I Disappoint You, God?”
I was speaking with a Christian friend yesterday. She said, “I think I am such a disappointment to God.” To this, I replied, “No, you are not.” It is, I believe, impossible to disappoint God. We may displease Him, but we cannot disappoint Him. Disappointment is born of unfulfilled expectations. We anticipate a certain day…
Jesus Christ: Born Under the Shadow of the Cross
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! He is the one I was talking about when I said, A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.”…
Three Parts Random, One Part Ridiculous
I have a few things to say and one has little to do with the other. Let randomness rule and here’s hoping I don’t zig when I should have zagged. One. More. Shameless. Plug. (Well, one more today.) Have you gotten your copy of my daily devotional ebook? If not, why not? Why not…

God and the Doubter
[picappgallerysingle id=”7291116″] If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 2 Tim. 2:13 (NKJV) Hey Christian, did you ever doubt God? Did you ever lack faith? Did you ever find yourself having moments of, God help us, UNBELIEF? And did that worry you to no end? Were you afraid that God would…
One Holy Moment: This Is My Body…Take, Eat | an Easter Devotional
An Easter Devotional Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, has always been a holy and solemn event to me, thanks largely to my grandfather. I would not say that Pastor Bill Henager (my mother’s father) and I had a good many bonding moments. Ours was not the kind of grandfather/grandson relationship that led to many fishing…
Don’t Fly Away
(Part Four of a four-part series.) Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment… If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post; for conciliation pacifies great offenses. Ecclesiastes 10:1a,4 Contempt for authority! Just another fly in the ointment. Stand by the water cooler this week and I am sure you will…
