David's Daily Devotion for April 29

April 29, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, April 29.

This Sunday morning, First Baptist Church of Center will have the opportunity to ordain a young man to the gospel ministry. Ordination services are always memorable and inspiring moments. In the moment before the ordination, my brother-in-law will share a very appropriate song - God Leads Us Along.

Our local library is having its annual spring book sale today, and I'm on my way! And I’m thinking about my favorite book.

On April 28, 1926, a girl was born in Monroeville, Alabama. Her name was Harper Lee. 1926 was the year my mother was born. Two southern girls. But Lee grew up to become one of the most celebrated and honored American authors in history.

Last evening, Janette Wittmann, our church pianist, shared a delightful program for our community. A good crowd enjoyed the presentation called, "Music and Nature". Janette shared examples of musical pieces and songs that celebrate the stars, flowers, trees, wind, water, etc. It was a fascinating and inspiring event.

David's Daily Devotion for April 26

April 26, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, April 26.

Today we focus on an interesting word - the word "cipher". Two thousand years ago, when the New Testament was written, the new Christians used the Roman numeral system. We still use it today, at least a little. Maybe you have a clock with Roman numerals on it. But that old system has one big problem - it has no way to represent the number zero.

David's Daily Devotion for April 25

April 25, 2022 - Good Morning!  It's Monday, April 25.

In Mark 16:15, Jesus says this - "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Are you a preacher? Most of us, when we hear that word, think of an ordained minister who stands behind a pulpit on Sunday mornings and delivers a prepared sermon to a congregation. But, when we look closer at this scripture verse, that doesn't seem to be who Jesus is talking about.

David's Daily Devotion for April 20

April 20, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, April 20.

We continue today with our brief focus on the New Testament, in preparation for the unique Bible study “Walk Through the New Testament” at my church this Sunday. Over the next three days we’ll look at three favorite stories.

The majority of a child’s favorite Bible stories come from the Old Testament - Noah’s Ark, David & Goliath, Daniel in the Lion’s Den - just to name a few. But there are wonderful stories in the New Testament as well. Some of them, like today’s example, are parables.
