Five Minute Devotional Episodes

We are in a five-minute devotional, and we maintain converse with God; fellowship or community with God is grown and developed through reading the whole counsel of God and talking to Him. (Prayer) A soul that does not set its affections and things above disobeys the commands and loses the most gracious and delightful discoveries of the word of God." Excerpt From The Saint's Everlasting Rest Richard Baxter The Bible is a unit. We learn of God throughout the Bible, not just a part. ...

The God of all comfort is our all in all. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we...

Our five-minute devotional today is longer than five minutes, but we also take care of a bit of business in this episode. I know many of you pray for the Free Range Preacher on prayer, and I do thank you. It is also one of the reasons we have confidence when the unexpected happens. For the last few weeks, I have been able to be the helper for Cathy's health bumps and not the helpie! Today we consider three passages: "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that w...

Category Five-Minute Devotional A new feature, long ago and far away, we started what I wanted to be a short daily devotional. Neither The Free Range, F.O.P. (Fred's Operating Procedure) or production were quality enough to make that reality. After all my Maestro - Richard Durrington's work, we can faithfully meditate on two weekly Devotional episodes. We begin with verse 1 of Psalm 103: Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name. God is:...

The calls to walk in a manner worthy of the redeemed life we have been called too, have never been easy, we are indeed the most radical people in our culture. Circumstance, though, has a way of reminding us of the sanctified life we are called to. This is a season we are reminded we are called to: Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. This is a short devotional prayer over the call to show the Holy compassion of our ...

Glory to God in the highest, for our redemption and our reliance on our faithful God, every day to carry us to the battle. Thank You, Jesus, for the ability to open our days seeking Thee and Thy glory. Extra special gratitude today for the birth of our healthy baby granddaughter, baby Freddie, you can’t miss her in our exclusive podcast cover art for today. Thank you, Jesus. The times are evil, but we can pray for His will as we begin our days. Our flesh is weak, but as we present ourselves ...

Let us pray together with great joy inexpressible and full of glory, Isaiah 30:18 18 Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. In Christ, we are cleansed from all unrighteousness, even our lowly estate, sin, unworthy thoughts of Him, weaknesses, the littleness of our faith, even the time we have wasted. Cleansed through the blood, Jesus waits to bless ...

Psalm 6:9 For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives my prayer. The irresistible movement of the Holy Spirit, excited by the Word of God, very often brings extemporaneous prayer from our hearts. Whether we are lead to worship, thanksgiving, joy, confession, or wonder. We rush into the presence of our Holy God, who loves us and sent His only begotten Son to save our souls longing for Him. As we pour out our souls at the Spirit’s bid...
