What It Means To Be Etched into the Palms of God's Hands
Introduction In today’s “always connected” world, ironically, we seem to be drifting farther and farther away from one another, and sometimes even from God. There are moments when it’s easy to feel isolated, forgotten, or insignificant. Yet, in those very moments, Scripture offers us profound assurances of God’s unwavering love and constant presence. One such assurance is found in Isaiah 49:16,…

The Big Picture
Ah! The big picture. Long term thinking. Those are reminders that life insurance agents share with their potential clients. As a matter of fact, my husband works with those who are purchasing life insurance to protect his/her family in the event of an early death.The insured must qualify primarily based on their health status. Someone who has maintained a healthy lifestyle, qualifies for a lower…

The Cross & Crucifixion of Jesus
The cross overshadowed the life of Jesus, and He knew dying for lost sinners was the ultimate purpose of the Father. When facing the cross, Jesus said, “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour ‘? But for this purpose I came to this hour” (John 12:27). For lost sinners, the cross of Christ is both personal and purposeful. It is personal, because…

What Would You Give?
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Philippians 2:6 If you loved someone and they were in trouble, what would you do to save them? We see stories everyday of heroes. Men and women who give their lives to save others. We even idolize them and for good reason. We say they have given their lives in ultimate sacrifice. These men and women go to…

Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:1-13
God instructs the Israelites to eat a passover lamb and spread its blood on their doorposts as a sign of redemption, a sign to the people. We know that God is going to smite the Egyptian firstborn (except for Pharaoh himself) about midnight of the night Moses left his presence for the final time (Genesis 10:29-11:8). Now, God is instructing Israel to take a lamb and keep it until the fourteenth…

What Makes A True Hero?
When our grands were younger, they had a fascination with being part of the military, protecting their country, proud of being Americans. In a local parade, our boys, plus friends, created a make-believe tank, dressed as Army Rangers–or what they thought Rangers looked like–with Nerf guns to show the lengths they were willing to go to to fight for their country. They were applauded as they rode…

The Real Thing (Hebrews 9:24-28)
Everything visible and tangible on this earth is mirroring a greater, better, and superior reality which we cannot see with our eyes or touch with our hands.
Strange Shadows (Shadows and Substance), by Gertrude Abercrombie, 1950 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year after year with blood that is not his own, for then he would…

Daily Cross-Bearing: Living True Discipleship Today
Discipleship is a journey woven deeply into the fabric of Christian faith. It beckons us to follow in the footsteps of Christ, embodying His teachings day by day.
Understanding Discipleship: Taking Up Your Cross in 3 Nephi 12:30 and Matthew 16:24-26 When we consider the words of Jesus in 3 Nephi 12:30 and Matthew 16:24-26, we find a call that pierces the heart of true discipleship: “Take up your cross.” These teachings challenge us to weigh the essence of following Christ against the pull of worldly gain. Christ urges us to deny ourselves and embrace the…

It's a Come as You Are Party
I remember “back in the day” when we had “Come as you are” parties. The party planner called and invited friends who HAD to come right then, in whatever they had on at the time being. It was hilarious – PJ’s, work-out or dress-to-the-nines clothes, evening wear, swimming suit and jeans and a T–shirt or whatever.But, in a more spiritual context, many of us carry a misconception that we need to…

By His Stripes We Are Healed
A Foundation for Christian Compassion and Connection I first encountered the verse “By his stripes we are healed” from Isaiah 53:5 when as a teenager I was introduced to the Christian rock band Stryper. Not only was I blown away by the music, but the lyrics served to encourage me in my early Christian walk. Isaiah 53:5 is the basis for the band’s name and that verse became a powerful symbol for…

Salvation is Free and Simple
Eternal salvation is both free and simple. It’s free because Jesus Christ paid the full price for our sins through His death on the cross, offering us forgiveness of sins and eternal life as a gift. God requires no works or effort from us to receive t
God has made our eternal salvation free and simple. It is free to us because the Lord Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for our sins when He died on the cross in our place, bearing the punishment that rightfully belonged to us. Isaiah prophesied this truth, saying “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and…

A Thanksgiving and a Testimony: Sunday Devotion
Psalm 116: 16-19 O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.
