New Weekly Devotion Forum

Greg has invited me to contribute to a Weekly Devotional thread and we have made a start. Devotional? Well, the Hebrew word to 'devote' originally meant to set something aside for God's special use, often by fire! I agree strongly with William Booth's old hymn 'Send the Fire'. It has a line 'the fire will meet our every need'. I believe it!This weekly column will come with my prayer that God will ignite it and its readers to become true channels of His purposes in our generation. Please come and visit and feel free to comment and challenge. Let's provoke each other to good works, will you join me?The thread of my weekly comments will be Abraham, My Friend - The Making of a Praying Man. (Sisters should feel fully included! ;-) )

I visit The Weekly Devotional fairly regularly as I am moderator of that particular forum. I noticed that the number of visits to earlier devotions does not change but that to the latest devotion does.Now this implies that new members of the sermonindex family are not starting from the beginning of the series. Please do. To start at Abraham, My Fried 07 is like starting War and Peace from chapter 7. You will find references to all kinds of things whose significance you will miss if you didn't start at the beginning.So the hyperlink, underlined above, will take you to the beginning of the forum. I recommend that you read each one separately, give yourself an opportunity to respond to God. These are not academic Bible studies but an endeavour to bring the word of God to where you are. Undigested truth makes Christians flabby and dulls their future responses.The original 'devotional' can be identified by its banner heading, you may need to page up or down to find it.OK, lecture over... enjoy. :-P
