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.

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Matthew 6:13 In David’s great Psalm 23, he writes:  “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with…

The Victor’s Vision

“But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 When Paul wrote the letter to the believers in Phillippi, he did so as a prisoner of Nero in Rome.  And yet, in that epistle there is an evident attitude of triumph and victory, springing forth…

The Worthy Lamb

“Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little.” Psalm 2:11,12 It is a very sobering thought that a man can not only reject Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, but then…

God’s Perfect Time

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” Exodus 3:2 The first forty years of Moses’ life was spent in Pharoah’s court.  Though he was raised…

Christ’s Call To Faith

“O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto Me.” Mark 9:19 Perhaps nowhere is faith proven, or tested so greatly, than in one’s family, or in dealing with those whom we love most.  Such was the case of a father, mentioned in the Gospel…

All Changed In One Day

“Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.” 2 Kings 7:1 Throughout Scripture we find instances when, because of the intervention…
