Soul Health (May 12)
If the gospel of Christ is true, we’re not in good spiritual health if we’re not in a right relationship with the God who is our Creator — and that requires the actual forgiveness of our sins through obedience to the message of salvation in Christ.
Responding Rightly to Grace (May 11)
Sin is the rebellion of our will against God’s will. The gospel of Christ proposes to transform us back into people who submit to the will of their Creator. So obviously, there can be no rightful response to God’s grace without obedience (Luke 6:46).
Tender Hearts (May 12)
In God’s providence, each of us is confronted each day with facts that ought to move us. The whole issue of spiritual growth hangs in the balance as we make the daily decisions that determine our responsiveness, the sensitivity of our hearts.
Seeking God with the Whole Person (May 11)
God gave us hearts with several dimensions, and we were designed to seek Him in all of these. To some extent, is this not wholeheartedness? To give God less than all three — our intellect, emotions, and will — is to be less than a whole person.
Will Our Desires Be Fulfilled or Frustrated? (May 12)
We need to be grateful for the hopes, aspirations, and desires that God has planted within our hearts — and we need to be willing for those desires to be fulfilled on His terms. If not, we’re on a path that leads to disappointment in the end.
The Race Is Not to the Swift (May 11)
Any time God is involved, “it ain’t over till it’s over,” and many more good things may turn up than we, or anyone else, could have produced or predicted. The race may look like it’s lost, but still be won — despite our lack of swiftness.
Reality (May 12)
We need the humility and courage to acknowledge whatever is true. We are free to work toward a better reality and move any situation closer to what it ought to be, but we mustn’t lose touch with the reality of our circumstances as they presently are.
Prevention (May 11)
“One moment of patience may prevent disaster; one moment of impatience may ruin a life.” Many damaging things happen because we aren’t patient enough. Often, we rush ahead, ignore the warning signs, and suffer harm that patience would have prevented.
DFBS 220 – It is truth that breaks the power of evil
It does not take physical strength or carnal tactics to win the battle over sin. It only takes the courage to refuse to settle for anything less than what is true. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
DFBS 219 – Our hearts should be in heaven
If only for the sake of our kids, we need to talk about heaven more. We need to pray about it and sing about it. The prospect of going there should be something they can see is surpassingly important to us, and not just in our words but in our deeds.

I’ve always said that a writer shouldn’t publish anything he’s not prepared to meet again at judgment, so I’m asking if my previously published pages are truly the best that I can do. Before I die, I hope to publish revised editions of all the older books.
March 2025
The personal connections that have been forged as a result of the writing, are treasured blessings, so correspondence is an important part of the work I am privileged to do. The opportunity to encourage and be encouraged, is something I do not take lightly.
