Welcome to A Pause to
Ponder God’s Word, referred to by many as Pause to Ponder. Thanks
for stopping by.
Have you ever been caught
by surprise? Ever been blown away by something? This is what this ministry
has done to me. When God gave me the idea for A Pause to Ponder God’s
Word I never dreamed that it would grow to what it is today (and it
continues to grow). It began with a pastor’s desire to help his parishioners
keep their focus during Passion Week, offering to send a devotional each
morning of that week to those who would like to receive it. The next thing
I knew I was getting email requests to receive the devotional along with
requests to continue writing and sending them, in addition to requests
for previously written ones. The rest, as they say, is history. I stand
amazed and humbled that God would grant me the privilege of ministering
to people via this medium.
This site is not designed
to WOW you. Rather we desire to offer you devotionals authored by Rev.
Gerald Whetstone (Pastor Gerry), ordained Elder and teacher in the Church
of the Nazarene. It is designed to be eye pleasing and user friendly
offering options to help you find what you are looking for.
Each devotional is written
and placed here with the prayer that it will nourish your relationship
with God; challenge your thinking in the Lord; motivate your walk in holiness;
and stimulate you to a deeper, more regular study of God's Word. Stop by
as often as you like. It is our plan to keep writing and adding devotionals
as God directs.
You are welcome to use
the material in these devotionals for non-profit purposes without
permission.
You are requested to inform Pastor Gerry if you do use them. It is encouraging
to see how God is using this ministry.
Enjoy and most importantly
- Keep Close to Jesus!
