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

A Good Time to Say Thank You

By prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.           —Philippians 4:6 A blind beggar shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Lord, I want to see.” “Receive your sight,” said Jesus. Would the beggar properly […]

A Political Decision

[Pilate] handed [Jesus] over to be crucified.                                 —Matthew 27:26 Neither Pilate nor Herod found any basis for the charges against Jesus. “He has done nothing to deserve death,” they said. “What crime has he done?” Pilate asked his accusers. […]

Temptations of Old Age

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”                                           —Ecclesiastes 7:10 The days of youth are days of danger, for temptations are strong, and wisdom is in short supply. But temptations are […]

Peace That is Possible

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you.      —Isaiah 26:3 After the end of World War I, the League of Nations was created with the aim of maintaining world peace through negotiations, so that war would never again occur. World War II demonstrated that the League had failed, and it […]

God Will Do What He Promises

Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.                   —James 2:23 When God told Abraham to take his son to Moriah and sacrifice him, what did Abraham do? Early the next morning, he got up and set out for Moriah (Gn 22:3). When Abraham […]

A Rumor of Hope

He has risen.  —Mark 16:6 The Saturday between the crucifixion and the resurrection was surely the darkest day Jesus’ disciples ever experienced. Their leader was dead. But God is good at turning dark Saturdays into bright Sundays. The darkest day of the disciples’ lives was about to become the brightest day in human history. Dr. […]
