The Parable Of The Good Father

Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010

What Are You Doing Here?

Contributed by Beth Garrod-Logsdon on Aug 11, 2009

God twice asks Elijah, "What are you doing here?" This is a good question for us to be asking ourselves - why have we come into the presence of God... even if, like Elijah, we are suffering from burn-out and trying to escape the craziness of life.

What Are You Doing Here? 1 Kings 19:1-15 One of my new favorite devotional books is titled: An Eclectic Almanac for the Faithful. And I have to admit, I only picked it up at first because of its intriguing title. However, it has become a storehouse of prayer fodder and ideas for contemplation. ...read more

If there are so many things offensive to our noses just imagine how God must react to the putrid stench of sin or some of the smelly things even believers do.

Some days I wonder why God decided to give human beings noses. I think that and then I have to put on a pair of glasses and I know at least one reason. There are other times I am glad I have a nose: as a child my favorite intersection in Tulsa Oklahoma was 21st and Sheridan. ...read more
