Welcome to my daily/weekly blog. Here I will post a devotion or two, quotes, my thoughts, and humorous things that I have seen around or was sent to me. Don't forget to check out the rest of Stories of Salvation and God Bless all of you.
You will also notice that content from other writers are posted on this blog. This content is taken from free article sites, mainly Faithwriters.com and Gotquestions.org, and it helps keep the content fresh on this site due to my time restraints with my overnight job, church, wife and seven children and a grandaughter that we are raising.. I hope you enjoy the christian content this blog provides. Don't forget to comment so the authors of the articles can see that you enjoy them. If anyone would like to write for the blog just drop me a line.
Also, if you have come here to read one of over four hundred entries, they have unfortunately been lost due to changing hosting sites. So here is to starting fresh.

Jesus Whispering to Our Hearts
By Marijo Phelps
The best teacher I think I ever had for making a point that everyone in that room listened to had a unique delivery method. Instead of raising his voice to make his point he'd lean forward over the podium and whisper the most important part of his lecture. All in the class hushed and leaned forward eagerly to see what important part of the lecture was about to come out of his mouth. It got our attention each and every time and we truly listened.
Imagine your Lord and Savior doing the same thing. The Bible tells us to tune in to that "still, small voice". It is when we are quiet before Him and focused on Him that he can speak the loudest, often times in a whisper:

Compare how often you talk about your church or your pastor versus how often you talk about Jesus.
When unbelievers see Christianity, I can't help but wonder how many of them simply see a bunch of denominations fighting about petty issues: Contemporary vs. traditional worship? Drums and guitar vs. organ and hymns? Powerpoint slides vs. hymn book? Jeans and tee-shirt vs. suit and tie?
Instead, wouldn't our testimony to the world be so much better if, with one voice, we proclaimed "Jesus!"? In Romans 15:9, Paul writes, Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name. Paul's singular focus was on making the name of Jesus known throughout the world.
It's not about your church, your ministry, your Bible study, your small group, or your denomination. Your single focus should be on shouting the name of Jesus to all peoples. Your ...

Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian." The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?"(Judges 6:12-14 NIV)
Beautiful One, in an unstable world, with all of it's uncertainty's, how do we effectively keep our head above the waters of life? The answer for us as Christians is an easy one, Jesus Christ! And for most of us He ...
