No One Lost

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. O-bservation: This is an amazing passage of scripture because it shows the heart of God in such a special way.

Your Testimony Will Outlive You

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Peter 1:18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. O-bservation: These are the words of St. Peter, who recounted the word that came from heaven when he and James and John were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus. Peter said, “While we were there with Him a voice came from heaven saying, ‘This is my Son whom I love, and with Him, I am well pleased.’” Peter was telling his listeners, “Trust me, I was there!” A-pplication: This was just part of Peter’s...

Jesus Our Patient Savior

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. O-bservation: The Apostle Peter explained to us, the Church, that God is not quick to judge us on the spot. Instead he is PATIENT with us. He woos us in hopes that we will make a “Turn Around” for our own good. He wants all of us on the planet to go to heaven. A-pplication: It’s hard to believe, because of the way...
