  📌 QUESTION OF THE WEEK — JUNE 23, 2026 ❓ WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL RESPONSE WHEN A SPOUSE HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL? Matthew (23) from Pascagoula, Mississippi, writes: "Good morning, Pastor James. Thank you for reading my question and responding to it. My parents, both Christians, are struggling with this issue. I won't say who was unfaithful, but it has reached the point where only God can save their marriage. I hope you can give me something I can share with them." Matthew, thank you for your honesty and courage. Marital infidelity is one of the deepest wounds a person can experience. It shatters trust, damages intimacy, and leaves emotional and spiritual scars. Yet while adultery is a grievous sin, it does not automatically mean a marriage is beyond hope. Jesus acknowledged adultery as a legitimate ground for divorce (Matthew 19:9), but Scripture also reveals God's heart for forgiveness, repentance, and restoration whenever possible. For the unfaithful spouse, genuine repe...

  📖 DAILY DEVOTIONAL — JUNE 23, 2026 RENEW OUR DAYS "Restore us to Yourself, LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old." — Lamentations 5:21 These words close a book written during one of Israel's darkest hours. Jerusalem lay in ruins, hearts were broken, and hope seemed distant. Yet amid the sorrow, a prayer arose: "Restore us." The writer understood that true renewal does not begin with changed circumstances—it begins with a changed heart. The longing was not merely for better days, but for a restored relationship with God. Many of us have known seasons when our prayer life was stronger, our faith more vibrant, and our walk with God more intimate. If life's burdens, distractions, disappointments, or failures have created distance, take heart. The God who restored then still restores today. Revival begins when we turn our hearts toward Him. What seems broken can be renewed. What seems lost can be restored. What feels cold can burn brightly again t...

  Giving Tuesday — The Final Tuesday of June Tonight, somewhere in the Philippines, a child will go to bed hungry. A mother will quietly worry about tomorrow. A father will wonder how he will provide for his family. And someone, somewhere, will need to hear that God has not forgotten them. This is why Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International exists. We are not a large organization with unlimited resources. We are missionaries, pastors, believers, and volunteers who have answered God's call to serve where the need is greatest. From feeding families and helping children, to sharing the Gospel and strengthening believers, we are striving to make an eternal difference—one soul, one family, and one community at a time. The rainy season is now upon the Philippines. For many families, daily life becomes even more difficult. Yet the need for hope, faith, encouragement, and practical assistance continues. As we close out the final Tuesday of June, we ask you to prayerfully consider standin...

  "Here Am I, Send Me" As evening settles across the world, our hearts are thousands of miles away in the Philippines. For many, today was just another day. For others, it was a day of uncertainty. A day of wondering where tomorrow's meal will come from, how school fees will be paid, or how a family will recover from hardship, flooding, illness, or loss. Years ago, God placed a burden on our hearts. It was never about building a name. It was always about reaching people. From Italy to the Philippines and throughout Asia, Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International has sought to be the hands, feet, eyes, ears, and voice of Jesus Christ to those who need Him most. There are days when the road seems long. There are days when the needs far exceed our resources. Yet we continue because souls matter. One of my favorite reminders is this: "The size of the need should never determine the size of our obedience." — Pastor James Langston And another: "When God opens a ...

  One Step. One Day. One With Him. As we enter the work week of June 21–28, 2026, remember that not everyone will experience the same journey. For some, this week may feel overwhelming. For others, it may be filled with challenges, setbacks, or disappointments. Some may unexpectedly lose a job. Others may see a career come to an end. And for some, this will be their final week on earth. Life is fragile. Time is precious. Tomorrow is promised to no one. So let us pray—not only for ourselves, but for one another. Pray for those carrying heavy burdens. Pray for those facing uncertainty. Pray for those making difficult decisions. Pray for those who need hope, strength, healing, and salvation. Most importantly, pray that we will learn to walk hand in hand with our Heavenly Father—one step, one day, one moment at a time. No matter what this week holds, God is still on the throne. Trust Him. Lean on Him. Follow Him. You are not alone. We are praying for you. Ministry Links: pomitaly.homes...
