Welcome! I'm Jan Ross With
An Important Message

No one lives untouched by influence. Our lives are shaped by what we listen to, what we dwell on, and by what we believe. Over time, what we are consistently exposed to quietly forms who we become.

I have learned that what we are exposed to daily – the constants in life – shape us and form us. The question is not whether we are being influenced, but what we allow to impact our hearts.

The greatest influence in your life should be the One who never changes and never lets you down.

Join men and women from all over the globe by subscribing to my daily devotions. Together, we will make the Word of God our most constant influence in life.

Studying Scripture is more than just an exercise of the mind; it is a meeting place with God ... in His presence! As we read His Word, He reveals His heart, His ways, and His purposes for our lives. The Lord searches us, guides us, and calls us to walk in truth and obedience. Through it, He influences our thinking and draws us ever closer to Himself. Be serious and committed to your Bible study. When you do, you'll find it to be the most rewarding time of the day.

The concept of publishing is deeply rooted in the biblical tradition, where the transmission of God's Word has been a central task for believers. The act of publishing encompasses the writing, copying, and spreading of biblical texts to ensure that the teachings and commandments of God are accessible to all people.

At the heart of this site is my love for God’s Word and my desire to see His Kingdom grow in the hearts of men, women, and young people. I thank the Lord for the path He has prepared before me and for every relationship and gift He has graciously given. His mercy and forgiveness are new every morning. My prayer remains the same: “Lord, use me for Your glory in whatever way pleases You. Amen.”
