It’s Only Going To Get Better!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Haggai 2:9 “‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” O-bservation: Here the prophet Haggai spoke of the temple that was rebuilt by Zerubbabel and then torn down and rebuilt by King Herod during the time Jesus walked the earth.

The Lowest Place

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Luke 14:10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. O-bservation: This was Jesus' approach from the day He began His public ministry. Taking "The Lowest Place" is always the way of the "Servant Leader." This was foundational to the life and teachings of Christ. He said, "When you're invited to a party sit in the back, that way if the host...
