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

Saved By the Skin of Your Teeth

Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.                              —John 5:24 Do you remember GM’s early boast that they had built a “safety car” that would keep an occupant from being killed in a 100-mph crash? I […]

When This Passing World is Done

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.                           —1 John 2:17 Today’s news will hype politicians who puff and pontificate and financial tycoons who compete for power and prominence. Most of these chest pounders […]

Connecting the Dots

Listen to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.                           —Proverbs 1:8 This morning, I gazed at a 125-year-old photograph on my bedroom bookcase—my paternal grandmother. Twenty-eight steps away, in my home office, I stared at a picture of my […]

Invest for Eternity

Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.             —Luke 12:15 “Why is it,” asked Harvey Firestone in his autobiography, “that a man, just as soon as he gets enough money, builds a house much bigger than he needs? I built a house at Akron many times larger than […]

Go with Faith

Into your hands I commit my spirit.                        —Luke 23:46 A Roman army officer told Jesus he had a servant who was suffering terribly. “I will go and heal him,” Jesus said. “Lord,” the officer responded, “I am not worthy to have you come under […]

Contentment

If we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.           —1 Timothy 6:8 In my neck of the woods, many voters rate crime as the number one issue that concerns them. Even if we could afford it, most of us would be reluctant to own a watch that’s […]
