I’m a child of God, an obedient server, and someone who the Grace of our Lord saves. My love for Jesus has compelled me to spread it to others. Jesus saved us for more than just Heaven when he was crucified. He allowed us to govern alongside him, live for him, and perform deeds in his honor. We were chosen, predestined, and pardoned before time even existed. Once upon a time, we were dead in our sins and trespasses, but now we are alive in Christ and enthroned with him in the heavenly realms.

Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Where do we get food to nourish our souls? Gods living word, the Holy Bible is our daily bread. If we want to be spiritually healthy, we should read and soak up his words. ­ They are His living words and also provide us protection. As we read and put on His whole armor before heading out each day--we armor up, helping to keep us spiritually prepared for whatever the day holds. Has God ever put something on your heart, something that you know you should be doing? For me, although I'm finished with this devotional, this is the beginning of my new life's journey of letting his words in verses and text from the bible pour into my spirit. ­There is really something to the power found within his words. I have experienced a new peace in my life, so thankful am I for this journey. Spending time with the Lord and reading through verses and writing each day has made a difference in my life and I can say, I'm better for it. I hope whoever you are, if this finds its way to you, it will help create in you a thirst for our Father, our Savior, our Lord, Jesus Christ. And I pray whenever he speaks, whatever he speaks to your heart that you would be able to hear his words with clarity and walk on his paths of truth for your life. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord.
