In this life as we walk with the Lord in His Way we are like children always learning. It is within that understanding that we take this next step on this path. When we commit sin (not if, but when) we are taught in Scripture that we must ask for forgiveness and repent. The Bible is very specific about seeking forgiveness. We first learn His Way of doing so in Leviticus.

Today’s devotional is drawn from our new book in progress, Walk in His Way. It addresses a topic that has sparked debate, disagreement, and denominational division for centuries. Our prayer is that these words bring clarity where confusion has lingered, peace where arguments have taken root and understanding where tradition and interpretation have often collided.

The question at the center of everything I have written is simple, and it matters more now than ever: Is God still speaking? And if He is — are we listening? Across every devotional, every reflection, every chapter, the answer has been the same: yes, He is speaking. He has never stopped.

Each of us has been called by God to live a life shaped by His ways — how to worship, how to pray, how to listen, and how to walk in His commandments. But Scripture also speaks of another calling: the call to serve. Before you took your first breath, the Lord prepared you for this life with a gift and a purpose — a calling to serve Him and your neighbor. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart.” — Jeremiah 1:5 “We are His workmanshi

There is a quiet shift happening in parts of the modern church. You can see it in the way some churches soften Scripture, avoid certain passages, or treat the Old Testament as less important than the New. Most believers would never say the Old Testament is invalid, but many have begun to treat it as optional — something God once said, but no longer expects us to follow. But Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching… and for t

The Soul's Voice A Ministry of Faith, Reflection, and Community By Bruce Albright | The Soul’s Voice August 14, 2026 Finding Your Way Back These last few days have been filled with a wondering mind and unsettled spirit. The distractions of security issues to managing all that is involved with this ministry have left me a drift. Finding my way back to walking in His Way and listening for His direction is

Over the past few days, the reality of today’s world has pressed in on this ministry and on me personally. We live in a time marked by deceit, distraction, and chaos. There are people whose only mission is to use modern technology to take whatever they can — passwords, accounts, identity, even the deed to a home. Nothing is too small, and nothing is too sacred. That is one side of the coin. The other side is the soul. Scripture teaches that an archangel fell from grace and i

Compassion is one of the clearest of these signals. It is a gift woven into certain souls by God Himself — an ability to see pain quickly, respond instinctively, and move toward need without hesitation.

Every wilderness season has a purpose. It may not look like mine. It may not last fourteen years. It may not involve the Church, a calling, or a sudden silence. But every wilderness shares the same truth: God uses it to shape the soul for what comes next. Scripture shows us that God calls His people back to Himself from the very beginning. After the fall, His first words to humanity were not anger but invitation: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). Even in failure, God calls. We

Our Community Discussion forum this week posed the question .."Does God look at theft the same way in all situations?" Even though no comments were shared this week, the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Steal" still speaks with a firm voice and reminds us; that God sees theft not by the value of what is taken, but by the harm left behind. The story of the bandit on deck 15 told of a minor theft of door magnets. However, the bandits taking of these magnets was never the real issue

Spiritual growth is a quiet, unfolding process. It is not a race or a checklist but a gentle journey inward and upward. Along this path, discernment becomes a vital companion. It helps us recognize the subtle movements of the Spirit, guiding us toward deeper understanding and connection. When we learn to listen carefully and choose wisely, our spiritual lives flourish in ways that feel both natural and profound. Discernment is not always easy. It asks us to pause, reflect, an

I have carried these words with me for a long time. Not as a banner, not as a theological argument, but as a kind of lifeline — something I held onto in the years after I stepped into my own wilderness. That wilderness began the day I was turned away from the Episcopal diaconate, a moment that quietly reshaped the landscape of my faith. I didn't walk away from God, but I did walk away from the church, and for a long time I tried to convince myself that this single line of Scr

What is the value of deceit? What is the cost of intentionally misleading someone? What is the price of emotional harm created by anxiety, frustration, or humiliation that follows someone else’s thoughtless acts?

Tonight, God met that obedience with clarity. For the first time, since I began this ministry a few months ago, God spoke directly to me through scripture

Every believer has heard the warning to guard against false prophets. This was one of Jesus’s earliest cautions, and it remains just as necessary today. But what does that actually mean? How do we recognize a false prophet, especially when their message is wrapped in Scripture? Isaiah 8:20 “If anyone does not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Jeremiah 23:16 “They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.” These v

There is a voice within you that does not come from your thoughts. It arrives quietly, without pressure or argument. It shows up in moments when your mind settles and your spirit is open

Occasionally our faith comes under quiet attack from the evil one, most often through self‑doubt. This morning my soul is whispering, stay strong. Continue your walk with God in His Ways and resist the subtle forces that try to pull you away from His voice. When the Spirit is active, the devil often responds by stirring uncertainty about what God has already spoken. Sometimes that doubt rises from within. Other times it comes through people—often well‑meaning—who question you

For most of my life, I believed the Bible was a book to be studied — a collection of stories, teachings, and commandments meant to guide a person of faith. Over time, I’ve come to understand something far more personal. Scripture is the record of God calling His people back to Himself, and this call appears in every book of the Bible. It is not simply literature. It is a conversation. God speaks to us through our soul and through others. His message has never changed: Return

This morning I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Getting this new site built has felt a little like playing the back nine with a bent driver and a mischievous crosswind. We had more than a few setbacks, detours, and “you’ve got to be kidding me” moments — but we pushed through, and the new home is finally complete. Thank you for your patience. I believe this space will be a much stronger platform for devotionals, articles, books, and whatever else the Lord decide

God's voice is often found in moments we overlook. Learn practical ways to recognize His guidance through Scripture, prayer, and the quiet rhythms of daily life with clarity and confidence.
