Today’s devotion

Bread in a Desolate Place

Five thousand men, five barley loaves, two small fish, and a Lord who already knew what He would do. He asked Philip anyway. Then the crowd wanted to make Him king, and He walked away. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-21-bread-in-a-desolate-place/

(John 6:1-15)

Latest apologetic

Did Jesus Claim to Be God?

Did Jesus claim to be God? His enemies thought so. They tried to stone Him for it more than once, and the high priest tore his robes over it. Men who wanted Him dead understood Him better than modern scholars who want Him tame.

He Came to Them on the Sea

Dark water, a hard wind, three or four miles of rowing, and no Jesus in the boat. Then He came to them walking on the sea, told them who He was, and told them they had nothing to fear. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-22-he-came-to-them-on-the-sea/

Can a Christian Dress Up on Halloween?

Dress up on Halloween if you want. Dress up in July too. But a Christian doesn't play the witch, the medium, or the demon, not even for one night. You don't wear what God calls an abomination as a joke. Costumes are fine. Celebrating darkness isn't.

Which Idols Should Our Kids Smash?

A pastor handed kids hammers to smash statues of Mary. The kids in that room were never going to pray to plaster. They will be tempted by money, applause, power, and people. Smash the wrong idol and you teach the wrong lesson.
