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

Be Trustworthy

Live a life worthy of the calling you have received.        —Ephesians 4:1 Meandering the seashore, the youngster noticed a woman sitting under a beach umbrella. Walking over to her, he asked, “Are you a Christian?” She said she was. “Do you read your Bible every day?” “Yes.” “Do you pray every day?” […]

Forgiveness or Probation?

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.                                —Ephesians 4:32 Here’s a scary scripture: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Mt 6:15). […]

God Uses the Forgiven

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven.            —Romans 4:7 There’s something in your past that you’re ashamed of, isn’t there? Does it disqualify you for kingdom service? David committed adultery and murder, but God chose him to be Israel’s king and said he was a man after his own heart. […]

Who’s In Control?

Humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.                  —Proverbs 16:9 “You can do anything you want to do and be anything you want to be.” If you were fed that line and swallowed it when you were young, you’ve probably suffered bouts of severe indigestion […]

Influence Has a Long Life

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ.                            —Jude 1 “Blood is thicker than water,” goes the German proverb. It doesn’t get much better than being part of a family that finds great joy in being together. It didn’t work out that way for […]

Remember Who You Are

You are [God’s] child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.                  —Galatians 4:7 Do you sometimes get down in the dumps? Feel helpless to meet life’s challenges? “Remember who you are.” That’s what my friend’s father said to him every morning […]
