Fresh heart for the journey
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.’ But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’” Jeremiah 6:16 NLT I long for the ‘old godly ways’ and not […]
Dear Reader, The Fresh Heart devotional you received on Monday contained two errors. The first was harmless. In the fourth paragraph the phrase “if we’re no careful” should have read “if we’re not careful.” You may have simply read it as it should have been. That’s what I had done many times in proofing the […]
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?” Romans 8:35 NLT I pray for many people every day, and feel honored to do so. It’s hard to keep my list up to date, because… well, things change. Sometimes sadly it’s a spouse. As has been my custom I have kept the name of the […]
I am one who unapologetically believes we are in the opening stages of the greatest move of God’s Spirit in a long time (at least in my lifetime.) Not every Christian is looking for or expecting this massive move of God’s Spirit sweeping across our nation and the world. Some feel the Church is […]
On a Thursday in July of 1979 I was leaving Grand Junction, Colorado after conducting a prayer event there. I was to be in Seattle the next day. It was just after dinner time and our Frontier Airlines flight was the last of their scheduled flights of that day. Eight minutes into our flight […]
The driver beside me and I were waiting for the light to change. He was to my left in the turn lane and both of us were about to enter the busiest intersection in all of Seattle. He looked petrified. Part of it could have been the diminutive size of the Mini-car’ he was […]
I’m no longer afraid of boogie men under my bed at night. Lightening doesn’t terrorize me, nor are there any bullies in my neighborhood that I dread meeting on a walk. Most of my present fears have to do with matters of the soul. I don’t want to be seen as a spiritual imposter […]
By Paul Walterman on Jun 16, 2019 07:17 pm/ re-published June 20, 2012 I had an amazing father! He loved God passionately and at time recklessly. He would do anything he believed would please God … go anywhere he believed God wanted him to go … and say anything to anybody if God gave him […]
So, where are we right now? Where are those of us who are in God’s family, the Blood washed, redeemed, filled with his Spirit… where exactly are we right now? After a year and a half of mixed messages, lies and half-truths from just about everyone who leads us – where are we? We […]
It’s happened very quickly and being older gives better perspective to the changes. From Christianity in the United States having solid footing in the culture, it is now considered non-essential and even dangerous. National appreciation for the Word of God has turned into a banning and disrespectful despising of that Word. We’ve gone from people […]
