5 Minutes with God

If you’ve got five minutes, the Lord has something to say. Each devotional is an invitation — a spark from His Word to stir your heart. But the true treasure is in the Action: five minutes you set aside to be with Him. It’s there, in His presence, that the Holy Spirit fills your lamp with oil, transforms your heart, and aligns your life with His. This is your daily time with the King — not just learning about Him, but knowing Him, walking with Him, and being made ready for the Bridegroom’s return.

Short. Simple. Powerful. And really — it’s only five minutes. Who doesn’t have five minutes for the King?

  • The Guide Through the Labyrinth

    Life can be pretty scary at times, and often we don’t know which way to go. It is like being lost in an impossible labyrinth. But when we close Jesus, He will safely guide us through.

    A Lamp to My Feet

    During a pre-dawn hunting trip, a simple flashlight became a powerful reminder of what it means to follow God. We may not see the entire path ahead, but we can trust the One holding the light.

  • Endless Love

    Endless Love

    Yesterday I was asked to preach online to a group of women in Pakistan. As I prayed about them beforehand, I was filled with an overwhelming love for these women.
