Good Sunday Morning!
I was patiently in line (well, in line) at Wal-Mart waiting to check out my groceries. I save up my errands, so I only have to go to town once a week, and while I was in Montgomery, I decided to buy some groceries on the way home. Now, back to standing in line, I could tell the guy in front of me was a bit grumpy because of the slow line. I noticed we both had on jeans and a red tee-shirt, so I said to him, “I see you got the memo”. He looked at me like I just popped out of a UFO. I smiled, pointed at his clothes and then mine. He laughed and said, "Well, it looks that way". Immediately, he was in a different frame of mind.
How many times during the day do we have the opportunity to help someone get into a better frame of mind? There is so much stress, fear, and anger today, but sometimes all it takes is a kind word and maybe even a dad joke. As I was leaving, I noticed the greeter at the front door looked like she had eaten lemons for breakfast. I asked her if she had heard the joke of the day. She said, "No, what is it?" I asked her, "What does a dentist call his X-rays"? She said, "What"? I said, "tooth pics". She smiled a big smile and said, " That’s a good one". From a sour face to a smile with one dad joke. Now, how can you help put a smile on someone’s face today? And while you are at it, be ready to mention Jesus to them.
Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Matthew 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant…

"Worship and praise" isn't just a part of a church service, it is a lifestyle.

Well, we finally got some rain, and boy did we need it. Things had gotten so dry that some plants and grass were starting to die. Around 2:30 am yesterday morning, as the storms were passing through, the power went out. For me, that’s a big deal because without power, I have no CPAP, which means I can’t sleep. Fortunately, about 45 minutes later, the power came back on, but by then I was wide awake. I am thinking I may need a nap later in the day.
When the storms of life pass through our lives, and they will, we do not have to worry about loss of power. Some people have one of those generators that automatically come on and power the whole house if the power goes out, but we, as Christians, have the power of the Holy Spirit that never goes out. Just as the rain was a benefit of the storm, so storms provide us with opportunities to see the power of God manifested in our lives and for our faith to grow. I am so thankful for the rain we received, and I am also thankful that I can trust that the power of God will always be available. I just have to make sure I am plugged in to the source.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.

Good Sunday Morning!
I wrote my first devotion for Facebook on 07-18-17. That was almost 9 years ago, and it means I have posted 3,209 devotions. Now, I admit I have reworked and reposted some, but that’s a lot of devotions. Why have I done this? I was called into the ministry over 50 years ago, and while reaching the lost is number one on my list, the maturation of the believer has always been my heart. Over those 50+ years, I have had my share of stumbles and fumbles, but there has always been a desire to grow in the Lord. God has been so gracious to me, and I want to see God bless others as they grow in the Lord as well. My devotions are there to encourage Christians to mature and be the best they can be for the Lord. At 72, it is a way I have of reaching people with the truth that God loves them, wants to use them, and develop a close, effective relationship with Him.
In my devotions, you get a little peek into my life, such as stories from the Ramer Café, my daily victories and mishaps, and the reminder that, while we aren’t perfect, we can depend on the Lord and on His love for us. Thank you for your support and prayers. I hope to continue sharing devotions until the Lord calls me home, and if one of my devotions has encouraged you to be better for the Lord, then it has all been worth it.
1 Timothy 4:15-16 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.
1 Corinthians 14:20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

Good Sunday Morning and welcome to “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts” and his special guest Steve Ladd.

The son of an evangelist, Steve matured to become a beloved member of America’s most acclaimed Christian music groups, including Gold City, The Anchormen, and the Old Paths (Anthem Edition).
Now with his solo career, Steve has continued ministering to audiences with inspirational songs like “Come Sunday Morning,” “One More River,” and “Preach the Word.” These harmonious melodies have transformed into personal anthems of encouragement that Steve carries wherever he goes, as he testifies to lives touched, healed, and uplifted.
