Good morning, Friends, 

James 5:19-20 - [19] My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth and someone turns him back, [20] let him know that the one who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Let’s keep it real , we all know someone who’s drifted away.
Maybe it’s a family member who used to love church fellowship but now they say, “I don’t do that anymore.” Or maybe it’s a friend who got hurt, fell into sin, or just slowly faded out of the faith. James is saying, don’t just watch them go — go after them.

This passage reminds us that the Christian life isn’t a solo walk; it’s a family walk. When one of us wanders, the rest of us should care enough to reach out. That’s what love looks like, it's not gossiping about those who fallen, but gently trying to help them back to the truth.

Bottom line is that it is easier to judge than to rescue. But James tells us that when we bring someone back to the truth, it’s not just a good deed tho, it’s an act that saves a soul from death. That’s powerful! It means your obedience could literally be the reason someone’s eternity is changed.

And don’t miss this,  the “covering of a multitude of sins” isn’t about hiding them; it’s about grace stepping in where guilt once dominated. When repentance happens, mercy wins!

So, remember that you don’t have to preach a sermon or have all the answers , sometimes, it’s just about showing up. A text, a visit, a prayer, a word of grace can turn a heart around.

Ask yourself, who has drifted from the truth in your circle, and what would it look like for you to lovingly reach out today?

Don’t just pray about them, pray for them, then go to them.
God might use you to bring someone home.

I don't know about you but God used someone to pull me out of my mess, so, He can use us to pull someone else out too. Grace that found you wasn’t meant to stop with you, it was meant to flow through you.

You know what time ⏰ it is!!!

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

Daily Devotional - August 21, 2025

8/21/25 Good morning, Friends,  1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.” That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work. Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching b...

Daily Devotional - September 10, 2025

9/10/25 Good morning, Friends, Psalm 69:1 LSB [1] Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. Have you ever felt like life was drowning you? Like problems kept piling up 📈, bills, stress, health, relationships, and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t keep your head above water? That’s exactly how David felt when he wrote ✍🏾 this verse. He wasn’t talking about actual water 🌊, he was describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and sinking fast. Instead of trying to fight 🥊 through it on his own, David cried out to God: “Save me, O God.” That’s the turning point. When we reach the end of ourselves, God is still strong enough to lift us up. Let's keep it 💯 with God. You don’t have to fake it with Him. If you’re struggling, tell Him straight up. He can handle your honest prayers. Depend on Him!! You don’t have to do life alone or in your own strength. God is able to rescue, comfort, and steady you when you feel like you’re going under. If you fee...
