Martin Wiles: When God Hides

VineWords Devotions and More

I am familiar with hiding. Apart from the normal game of hide-n-seek, my cousin and I often invented other hiding games. We invented imaginary giants to hide from in my grandfather’s barns. If we chose to play cowboys and Indians, one group would hide. …

Evelyn Mason Wells: The Fruit of Gentleness

VineWords Devotions and More

Gentleness is sometimes translated as “meekness.” We often think of meekness as weakness, but they are not the same thing. Being gentle or meek is to act with humility, using restrained behavior in our interaction with others. As we talk to other people about our faith, God wants us to do so with kindness. When we take on the nature of Jesus, we take on His gentleness. …

Irene Wintermyer: Blessed Blindness

Today, our world fights against an unseen enemy, the coronavirus. The thought of this viral army, whose microscopic soldiers lie in wait for a victim, produces panic and fear. But what if the spiritual realm has…

Stephanie Pavlantos: Lord, Help my Unbelief

VineWords Devotions and More

Have you ever had a very sick child? Or maybe you found out your child was diabetic, deaf, blind, autistic, or have some other type of physical disability. Since my son was premature, he didn’t hit developmental milestones on time. He was taking his time crawling; he did more rolling to get where he wanted to go. When we felt like he should be walking, we held his hands while helping him stand. But he did not want to do … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Royal Appointment

VineWords Devotions and More

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ~Hebrews 13:2 NIV “Excuse me,” I said to the stranger who had leaned his full arm on my shopping cart. I thought about elbowing him, but I refrained. I was dealing with grief. My mother had just died, so I knew my emotions were raw. Our home Bible Study group wanted me to make chicken stew. I was painfully aware I couldn’t phone Mom for advice, and … Continue reading →

Julie Souza Bradley Lilly: The Burning Coals Project

VineWords Devotions and More

It was in 2013 that my husband, Jim, succumbed to cancer. I would love to tell you that after my husband died that countless people rallied around me, as a new widow, to help me in such a brutally hard time, but they didn’t. Apart from my parents and a couple of close friends I was on my own to navigate the choppy waters of grief. …

Diane Virginia: My Superhero

VineWords Devotions and More

To my three-and-four-year-old children, superheros were as real as Charlotte the spider who lived on the back porch, and I was not permitted to sweep her web away in case she wanted to write a message. The Easter Bunny lived in the neighborhood—my children had seen him. Sure enough, Gilligan was going to teach my children boating skills—as soon as he got off the island. And Mr. Rogers certainly would bring Lady Elaine and Daniel for a visit soon. …

the same beareth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Lee Ann Mancini: The Greatest Invitation

Lee Ann Mancini: The Greatest Invitation

Although we should eagerly accept the invitations Jesus extends to us, remember there is a second invitation that is open to us, one that we should answer with a resolute “No!” That invitation comes from the devil, who wants us to follow him instead of Jesus. Satan will use all kinds of lies and deceptions to try to convince us that his invitation is more promising than our Lord’s. He will tell us that he is going to throw us a party filled with all the things of the world—the things we can see, hear, and touch. Yet we must remember that his invitation comes at the cost of the heavenly things God has set before us that we cannot see, but we eagerly await in hope. …
