How Can I Trust God Better?

“I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.”  Psalm 119:176 (NIV).  Do you ever find yourself slightly alienated from God wondering how you can trust God better? Our daughter’s pet helped me understand how easy it was to go astray. “Stop it!” my young daughter scolded.... Continue Reading →

Encountering JESUS on the El Camino

A small peek into my recent mission trip to Spain. The pungent odor of cow manure fills the air as travelers walk the Camino de Santiago (the Way of Saint James) past dairy farmhouses toward a hostel named La Fuente del Peregrino. The name means The Pilgrim’s Fountain, and it’s just one of many hostels... Continue Reading →

Should Christians Cuss?

“Therefore, be imitators of God as dear children.” Ephesians 5:1 (NKJV) The other day I got so mad at my teenager that I cussed. Should Christians cuss?

That is why the world hates you.” John 15:19 (NIV) I sometimes struggle with acceptance. Especially as a Christian who stands up for my... Continue Reading →

DEEPEN YOUR FAITH 

Animals are God’s gift to humans. They are instruments of His Grace blessed with a special gift for comforting us when we are down, filling us with joy at just the right moment, and encouraging us on our walk of faith. That’s why Guideposts created All God’s Creatures.

As Edward Grinnan, Guideposts Editor in Chief said, “All God’s Creatures will touch your soul and draw you closer to God who created us all.”

This beautiful new devotional begins in May to capture that joyous feeling that fills each one of us when spring arrives and warmer weather pushes out the dreary days of winter. Spring officially arrives in March, but May is when all of God’s Creatures burst into life with the sweet vibrations of spring. It’s the perfect time for a new devotional that brings you a refreshing new way to spend time in His Word.  PLUS you’ll receive four beautiful, custom-designed Note Cards with envelopes FREE – our gift to you!*

For the first time ever, we are now offering an email only option that will enable you to receive your daily devotion sent straight to your inbox every day!

“Dear Tez, I was reading through a newly purchased copy of a devotional book and was moved to tears by one line that said, ‘Our Heavenly Father is not only the God of second chances, he’s the God of quick resolution.’ It was only then that I noticed the author’s name was Tez Brooks. Thanks for touching my heart today and sending hope my way, Tez!”                                                                                                                                               ~Nancy D.

Memories from when our children were young and innocent flood our thoughts.  You can still see your adorable little girl in her Easter outfit with brand new shoes and ruffled socks. Her impish grin could... Continue Reading →

20 Things Your Teen Needs to Know Before Leaving Home

“Pick up your jacket and clean your bathroom!” I called from the kitchen. I was ticked as I cleaned the mess my teen had left after they made their own pancakes. The batter was everywhere (even the walls) and the dirty dishes looked like they had just fed an army. Why does it take 4 pans... Continue Reading →

Protecting Your Gift

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value...
