My wife and I served as evangelical, protestant missionaries in France for eleven and a half years, after which I became the pastor and director of a Christian school in a French-speaking evangelical church, L'Eglise Evangelique de Saint Jerome, in Quebec, Canada. After serving in Quebec for five years, we then moved to Greenville, South Carolina, where I became the pastor of the First Evangelical Church of Greenville. In 1995, we moved to Tallahassee, Florida, where I eventually assumed the management of the family business, and remained there until 2012, when our family moved to Meridian, Idaho. My wife and I have six children. These short devotionals are born out of the loss of one of these children in particular, with the hope and prayer that they will serve to encourage and inspire those who read them in their walk with Christ. God bless you all, and may we finish well the race set before us.

Christ Our Portion And Life

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27 It was David, who approximately three thousand years ago, penned these words: “O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance, and my cup;…

The Prayer-Filled Believer

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians4:6 True prayer and real peace are the provisions and gifts of God, to meet the very present needs of believers in Christ, but also, those needs of those who are around them.  In…

The Hallowing Of God’s Name

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 In the book of Revelation, there comes a moment in the midst of judgment upon the earth, when we see an angel flying in the midst…

The Gospel Of Joy

“For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.” Luke 1:44 The gospel of Christ is one of joy, a joy of the Eternal Father, communicated by the Eternal Spirit, and filling the Eternal Son.  It is a joy that God desires…
