The devotionals below are a subset of ones that I have written over the past 7-10 years. Primarily these were given as communion meditations or written for the Upper Room Magazine but as time went on they were shared with other groups and soon a number of them have been used in various ministries and appeared in a number of online or print publications. Many individuals and groups have found them meaningful and helpful. I was regularly being asked to come up with a comprehensive index for all the devotionals I had written and this is the initial attempt of that project. The indexes below will provide you with links to the devotionals which you are welcome to use for your ministry. If your ministry has a policy of paying an honorarium it will be gratefully accepted. Please contact me via e-mail so I can arrange to receive that. If your ministry does not regularly provide an honorarium then that is fine, too. All I would ask is the devotional stay intact and not be altered without my permission. Also, I would ask that you indicate my authorship of the devotional as well.

 

Moving forward, there will be additional devotionals posted as they are proofread and the index will become more friendly and useful. This is just a starting point as there are many more devotionals completed but yet to be posted.    

 

Thank you and may God bless you,

Richard
