(A Personal Testimony Of God’s Goodness) By Pastor Bob Morgan Christmas morning the Lord chose to bless me with what Chuck Colson would call “a severe grace.” I was rushed by ambulance to undergo emergency, life-saving surgery. God would use my pain and suffering, my weakness and helplessness, my utter dependency upon both He and others (even strangers), to minister to me. To do a work in me. To make me simultaneously more Christ-dependent and Christ-sufficient. All to take me deeper into Him and to learn lessons I needed to learn… to purify me as He attempts to “conform me into the image of H ..read more

A Children’s Story For Children Of All Ages By Pastor Bob Morgan (I haven’t posted anything for quite a while but I wanted to share this for Christmas. Originally I wrote this for my children, my grandchildren and my church family at Heart Cry Christian Fellowship to share on Christmas Eve. I’ve had many requests over the years for a copy of it, so here it is. Merry Christmas). What This Story Is About — And What It’s Not This is a Christmas Story as old as time. It’s not about the Grinch… but it is about someone mean, who tried to steal Christmas. It’s not about Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer w ..read more

Lord, forgive our sin as a nation, as the church, and as individuals. We legalize and “normalize” every sin and perversion we can imagine, even inventing new ways to sin with our corrupted, fallen imaginations. So many within Your church (we as Your people, Your Bride) have become apathetic, prayerless, biblically ignorant — powerless and defiled. We desire our own pleasures and honors rather than what pleasures and honors You. We fail to repent of and confront sin in our own midst, rather than do our best to maintain the purity of Your church. So many have no ideal that what they’re involved ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan Three little words — yet so powerful. “He is risen!” The acknowledgement that Jesus Christ was literally and physically raised from the dead. He had been tortured, crucified and had His heart pierced by a spear. Ultimately, pronounced officially dead by the Roman government, and then buried in a tomb for three days. “He is risen!” The greeting of a believing, passionate, persecuted, early church as they met together — not just on Resurrection Sunday (Easter), but every time they came together. It was the basis of their faith, their hope and their love — their courage, inte ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan (To get the most out of this devotional I encourage you to read any Scriptures referenced. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you directly through His Word.) A Teachable Moment It’s been a while since I posted anything and I want to share an opportunity God recently granted me. Not too long ago I was driving one of my grandsons to school — these are challenging times with COVID-19 including challenging school schedules. He was sitting very quietly in the front seat when out of the blue he asked me, “Grandpa, with everything that’s going on could the end of the world be c ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan (11/1/2020) This will be short and to the point. As God’s people with duel citizenship (Heaven and the U.S.A.), we have both a privilege and a responsibility before God, our family, the church and our country. And that’s to exercise our vote. Like many of you, as a Bible-believing Christian, and as a pastor, I am anything but enthusiastic by the lack of moral character and integrity of both our presidential candidates. But, I realize my privilege and responsibilities. As such, I have to get past personalities the best I can and evaluate their policies and priorities. Whose ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan (To get the most out of this devotional I encourage you to read any Scriptures referenced. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you directly through His Word.) I’ve been meditating on the fact that all of us experience storms: trials, hardship, sickness and suffering. David Jeremiah has pointed out that we’re all in a trial, coming out of a trial or headed into a trial. Sounds exciting doesn’t it? But think about it a moment. Jesus made a promise that none of us claim, “In this world you will have tribulation.” (Emphasis mine). But then He goes on, “But be of good cheer; I ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan What are the greatest powers in the universe? Nuclear power and the ability to harness the atom? A hurricane or tornado? I’ve been meditating on this and it has left me awe inspired. Why? Because it always leads me back to God. Let me share three “super powers” that only God possesses: Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. Omniscience God is sovereign in knowledge and wisdom. He’s actually the source of all knowledge and wisdom. He knows all and cannot learn. Nothing takes Him by surprise, nothing. He not only knows everything about the past and the present; He alread ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan (To get the most out of this devotional I encourage you to look up any Scripture references listed.) Several weeks ago I shared an article on Seeking God’s Will & Guidance. In it I shared the different ways that God guides us.  In the previous article I focused primarily on God’s “Unknown” will. God’s “Unknown” will covers those things such as “where should we go to school? What job should we take?” “Who should we marry?” Etc. In this article I want to focus on God’s “Known” will — His declared will for our lives. But how can we know with absolute certainty what G ..read more

By Pastor Bob Morgan (To get more out of this devotional I encourage you to read any Scriptures referenced. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you personally.) In Genesis 16:1-16 we read of a Sarai’s (Sarah’s) pregnant maidservant Hagar running away. Why? God had promised Abraham a son and as of yet, had delayed His promise. (Please remember that a delay is not a denial. And, any divine delays are used by God, for His own good purposes in our lives — for His glory and our highest good). Like most of us, Sarah became impatient, even embarrassed by her infertility (I know many godly women who ..read more
