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

Humility

Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself.                                              –Philippians 2:3 It was on television for the world to see: our at-the-time president rudely shoving smaller-nation leaders out of the way so he …

Constant Contact

He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen.         —Isaiah 50:4 “Call me anytime,” Carl said. “I have my cell phone on 24/7/365.” Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year strikes me as somewhat excessive for human availability. But not for divine connection, where …

Taking Care of the Little Things

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.                          —Luke 16:10 Trustworthy discipleship is a life of faithful attention to each day’s frequent and familiar tasks, however small and insignificant they may seem. It’s easy to be indifferent toward …

Looking Above the Clouds

In him all things hold together.              —Colossians 1:17 In The Gathering Storm, Winston Churchill wrote about the months prior to the Nazi blitzkrieg that leveled much of London: “The future was heavy with foreboding.” Ours is a different day, but we know the foreboding. Many of us pay more …

Politics vs Principle

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought. —Romans 12:3 I’m writing this as political campaigns are at full bore (pun intended). Getting to the top doesn’t live up to its promises: contentment, fulfillment, and satisfaction aren’t achieved by being the big cheese. Nevertheless, exaggerated need to seem important is often addictive and …

There’s a Great Day Coming

Stand up and lift up your heads. —Luke 21:28 Without heaven, history is in the hands of humanity. Unless there is a heavenly home beyond this earthly habitation, life on this planet is the final word. The feeling that the world is in a sorry state creates a heavenly longing. The gospel implants hope for …
