As I've been trying to rest from an illness, I have been spending some time soaking in the presence of the Lord. Yes, we all can get sick but I'm fully convinced that "by His stripes I am healed" Psalm 53:5 He starts out the chapter by saying, "Who has believed our report? And to … Continue reading You Deserve The Glory

The Sun And The Son
In church the other day, we were having a special day. It was a Son-day, Sundae, Sunday. Yes, we had sundaes afterwards with all the fixings. It's great on a hot summer day to enjoy some ice cream with all the goodies on top. Of course, anytime is a great time to have ice cream. … Continue reading The Sun And The Son
Oil And The Wine
Last week I was ministering on the story of the Samaritan. It wasn't really about the Samaritan but more about what he offered. While he played a significant part in the story and he certainly was the vessel for what happened, I believe if we look deeper into the story, we will find that what, … Continue reading Oil And The Wine

Today is National Coffee Day and I thought I … Continue reading National Coffee Day

One Touch
Yesterday in church, our worship leader sang "One Touch" from Nicole C. Mullen. Being connected with music as a DJ and as a follower of Christian music for many years, of course I have heard this song before. There was something about this song yesterday. I could literally see and feel the touch of Jesus. … Continue reading One Touch
He Heals All of Your Diseases
One of my favorite writers is Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers. He lived and preached during the latter half of the 19th century. He was a student of the Word and preached with vibrancy. Today's devotion from Charles Spurgeon was so on topic for The Balm of Gilead, that I decided to post it. … Continue reading He Heals All of Your Diseases
