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.

Come One, Come All

Don’t be afraid, just believe.               —Mark 5:36 Two people in the large, curious crowd were especially eager to see Jesus: a man with a dying twelve-year-old daughter and a woman suffering from a twelve-year incurable disease. The man was a well-known synagogue officer. The woman was an anonymous […]

The Doctor Will See You Now

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.         —Mark 2:17 Four men brought a paralyzed friend to Jesus. It took some creative doing to get him into Jesus’ presence, but they got it done. Jesus was touched. Yes, he would heal the incapacitated man. But before healing […]

Move On

Rise, let us go! —Matthew 26:46 Crushed with anguish over his approaching crucifixion, Jesus stumbled deeper into Gethsemane to pray. “Stay here and keep watch with me,” he implored his three best friends. And three disappointing times, he came back to find them sleeping instead of watching. Feelings of sorrow and shame must have been […]

Your Major Investment Decision

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.         —Matthew 6:21 Here is the shortest course on investment decisions ever presented: “No one can serve two masters . . . You cannot serve both God and Money” (Mt 6:24). This course isn’t one that we encourage our children to sign […]

Memories of You Will Never End

He being dead still speaks.            —Hebrews 11:4 You know the game. Someone says a word, and you respond with the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that word. Try it. Hitler. Mother Teresa. The first probably elicited contempt; the second, admiration. American poet James Whitcomb Riley wrote […]
