A Word From Joe Barnett

This site is about words.
First, about God’s authoritative, inspired Word.
Second, about my non-authoritative, non-inspired words—nevertheless, written in hope that they will encourage those who read them, and above all that they will point the reader to God’s Word.

Here are the regular features you will find here.

  • Today’s Walk in the Word. A brief devotional that appears Monday through Friday. Each entry is based on a single verse of Scripture, followed by my comments related to it, and ending with a summary aphorism. To access the latest devotional click on "Today’s Walk in the Word" below. To access previous messages click on "Archives/A Walk in the Word" in the top menu.
  • On My Mind. Messages on varied topics that appear on this site at least once a month. To access the latest entry click on "On My Mind" below. To access previous messages click on "Archives/On My Mind" in the top menu.

Each of these features can also be fed directly to your email box if you wish. Just click here to sign up.

And yes, you are permitted—in fact, encouraged—to pass along any of these messages to those you feel will benefit from them. Just click on the “Forward to a Friend” button. Your participation in this way makes this “our” ministry instead of “my” ministry.

If you find anything here that brings you, or those with whom you share these messages, into a closer relationship with the Lord, I praise God and thank him for permitting our paths to cross.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will do so often.

Today's Walk in the Word

Unqualified Judgement

Judge not, that you be not judged.                     —Matthew 7:1 Judging others is way above our pay grade. We don’t know enough to be judgmental. To fairly judge, one must know all, including the person’s heart and motives—things that only God knows: “The Lord does not […]

Worrying About the Future

Do not worry about tomorrow.                  —Matthew 6:34 Dale Carnegie advised living in day-tight compartments, refusing to let what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow trash your enjoyment and productivity today. At the end of his message about anxiety (Mt 6:25–33), Jesus said, “Do not worry about […]

Earthly and Heavenly Treasures (2)

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.            —Matthew 6:21 In Matthew 6:19–20, Jesus contrasts the durability of two treasures: earthly and heavenly. The earthly is fragile and temporary; the heavenly is rock solid and eternal. Scripture does not forbid ownership of possessions. On the contrary, it endorses […]

Earthly and Heavenly Treasures (1)

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.                             —Matthew 6:20 Faced with a tough decision, perhaps you’ve drawn a line down the middle of a page, listing the negatives on one side and the positives on the other. In Mathew 6:19–20, Jesus […]

Why Pray?

Continue steadfastly in prayer.               —Colossians 4:2 Jesus said, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Mt 6:8). So, why pray? Well, you don’t pray to inform God of things he is unaware of, but to request his help, seek his counsel, and submit to his […]

You Have a Secret

[God] says, “Seek My face.” My heart says to Him, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”                          —Psalm 27:8 “Go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father” (Mt 6:6). Your “room” may be a designated place, or maybe not. It’s […]
