Devotionals

God has no favorites

When artists portray Justice, she stands tall and blindfolded, with a pair of scales in one hand and a drawn sword in the other.

Fiery trials

Knowing what God is doing through the trials helps God’s people not to miss a step!

Attention to attendance

“Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?”

The things people say!

The right word spoken in the right way at the right time is a gift to be treasured.

Looking and learning

If you learn to look, you’ll look and learn—and you’ll pass on to others the valuable lessons you’ve gleaned.

God and genes

God promises that He can give a man the power to do what is right even when his natural inclination is wrong.

Rich man, poor man

No one—rich or poor—is either unloved or insignificant in the Lord’s eyes.

The pursuit of godliness

Pursue happiness, and you may or may not find it. Pursue godliness, and you will find much, much more!

The gift of eyes and ears

Rather than taking sight and hearing for granted, these faculties should be understood as great gifts from God.

Words are few

Words can be weapons to wound, medicine to heal, a messenger to convey good news, or an instrument to play a happy tune.

Enjoying joy

To be “in the Lord” kept in His love, guarded by His grace, comforted with His compassion, convinced of His faithfulness, and secure in His hand.

Enemies of the cross

Enemies of the cross see no need for forgiveness, and they resent those who suggest they do!

Bragging rights

Paul had a religious heritage that would impress anyone… and he disavowed it all!

The supporting role

Even a casual glance at Paul’s letters reveals his deep indebtedness to his supporting cast.

A dark world

Let your lives shine” is not a suggestion—it’s an order!

Endangered species

The godly believe that truth is precious and that people are important.

Teaching the teachable

“Teach the wise, and they will be wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn more.”

Approval

In the human heart there is a thirst for approval, a longing for belonging, a hunger for acceptance.

Private and public morality

The aim of the godly person is to “walk in righteousness, in paths of justice.”

At the crossroads

The need to make choices never ends; there’s always a crossroads around the corner.

The troublemaker

There are troublemakers in all walks of life—in the office, at the church, in Congress, and on professional sports teams….

Paying attention

We are prone, like children, to allow our attention to wander.

Victory celebrations

Take a knee and thank the Lord!

A healthy body

In order to be spiritually healthy, believers must take their place in the community of the fellow redeemed.

The plan

God has a plan, born before the world began, centered in Christ and His church.

Point of view

In Rome, Paul was in deep trouble—but it did not bother him at all…

Cleansing at the cross

The only way to deal with sin is by the death of Christ on the cross…

Unsinkable

Salvation will not happen for man because of his efforts but because of God’s intervention.

Heavenly realms

Graciously, Scripture speaks of heaven in a way that should not be left to speculation.

A song for morning and evening

It is good to proclaim the Lord’s unfailing love in the morning, His faithfulness in the evening.

Light in dark dungeons

The one who follows Christ is called to be “a light to guide.”

Rise and shine

When the Lord becomes a present reality in a believer’s life, the heart begins to glow with His passion.

A startling fact

The Lord intended that His people should “declare [his] glory to the nations…”

I am here!

Every converted life is a pulpit from which the Lord proclaims, “I am here!”

Regrets

To avoid an old age of regret, learn to regret and repent early.

The suffering God

“This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you…”

Joy or fun?

It’s important to learn the serious deficiencies of the fun life, and discover the joy of the forgiven life.

External religion

Congruence is required between symbols and reality. The alternative is hypocrisy.

The last hour

Predictions of the end of the world have come and gone, only to be proved inaccurate time and again…

Cheap grace

If we are to avoid the abuse of God’s grace, we must accept the disciplines of discipleship.

Get a life

Christ is a cause worth living for, and one worth dying for.

Testify to the truth

John testified without hesitation that Jesus was the long-promised Christ.

A perfect leader

Yes, Jesus is the perfect leader. Follow Him!

Sit and think

Silence and solitude are great blessings to the overwrought human soul.

The throne

At the end of days, Jesus will be the one sitting on the throne; He will be the focus of attention.

Father and son

Fathers are called to be significantly involved in the lives of their children.

Family pressure

Parents should never underestimate the importance of their obedience to the Lord in the development of their children.

The holy and the lowly

The Lord takes notice of the “lowly,” and it is the “hungry” who are satisfied with good things.

Believing and blessed

There’s a major difference between believing in a hunch and believing in God’s Word.
