The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.  Proverbs 12:10 June Williams was only 4 when her father bought 7 acres of land to build a zoo without bars or cages. Growing up she remembers how creative her father was in trying to help wild animals feel free in confinement. […]

In my distress I called to the Lord.   Psalm 18:6 As a mom of young children I’m sometimes susceptible to panic. My first reaction is to call my mom on the phone and ask her what to do with my son’s allergy or my daughter’s sudden cough. Mom is a great resource, but when I read the Psalms, I’m reminded […]

Helping our city and county and state can only start on our knees. All our actions without prayer will make not much difference.  We must call upon our LORD and cry out in repentance to HIM about our city, county, state, and country.  There is much cover-up of sin in the church and out of the sin. Holy Ground meets […]

Read: Proverbs 6:6-11 Elephant seals spend most of their lives sleeping. Science News magazine reports, “Male elephant seals measure 16 feet from trunk-like nose to flipper, and they weigh about 3 tons.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders grew visibly emotional this week as she shared the heart-wrenching tale of a 9-year-old girl from Texas, Sophia Marie Campa-Peters, who has requested that the Trump administration ask the world to pray for her. “This Friday, Sophia will undergo brain surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital, and she has one request: She has asked the entire world […]

The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.   James 3:5 My daughter has had a lot of ill health recently, and her husband has been wonderfully caring and supportive. “You have a real treasure there!” I said. “You didn’t think that when I first knew him,” she said with a grin. She was quite […]

By Dr. Jim Denison Brad Pitt could have been Neo. During an interview this week, the movie star was asked to name a movie role he turned down. Pitt reluctantly gave one example: “I did pass on ‘The Matrix.’” The role eventually went to Keanu Reeves, and the rest is movie history. If I were interviewing Mr. Pitt, I would […]

[Jesus said,] “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.    John 15:5 The church service was still in progress, and we had some visitors there that morning. The speaker was only halfway through his sermon when I noticed one of our visitors walking out. I was curious and concerned, so I walked out to […]

By Dr. Jim Denison Some stories in today’s news animate us in inverse proportion to the degree they affect us directly. Democratic House managers, led by Rep. Adam B.

For many Americans, the Senate trial frustrates […]

But then another thought occurred. Maybe God had allowed the problem so she could see Him at work and get to know Him better. Instead […]

Brother Al explains the *difference* better than any other I have read in a long, long, time. Al Garza” <ocsministry@hughes.net> “Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 Communism is of Satan! Karl Marx was quoted: “My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.” The Communist vision is the vision of man […]

While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.  Luke 15:20 When we were going through a particularly challenging time with our son, a friend pulled me aside after a church meeting. “I want you to know that I pray for you and your son every day,” he said. Then […]

Join together in following my example. Philippians 3:17 Several years ago I received a letter from an Our Daily Bread reader after I had written about a family tragedy. “When you told about your tragedy,” this person wrote, “I realized that the writers were real people with real problems.” How true that is! I look across the list of men […]

[Jesus] humbled himself.   –  Philippians 2:8 Tibetan-born Sherpa Nawang Gombu and American Jim Whittaker reached the top of Mount Everest on May 1, 1963.

While we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son.
