Forgetting Your First Love
on July 7th, 2023
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (Revelation 2:4-6) In this passage, we see the problem that the church... Read More

God Can Make Things Right
on July 6th, 2023
I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly. (Isaiah 60:22) Right now in our world, we have more things that are wrong than right. As a result, it creates conflict inside the life of a believer. We want to just cry out, “God, how long will you tolerate men and women living with this mentality? How long will you tolerate the treatment that we inflict on each other, to hurt each other, to man... Read More

Align with the Lord
on July 5th, 2023
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3:5-7) Andrew Murray gave us a better understanding of prayer. He said, “Prayer is not so much trying to get God to align with you, but rather it helps you align wit... Read More

Praying for Our Country
on July 4th, 2023
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4) Yes, that is in the Bible! Regardless of your ... Read More

Be Hospitable
on July 3rd, 2023
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:9-10)Do you know what it means to be hospitable? It means to open your home. Open your home and do it without grumbling. Why would someone grumble about being hospitable to someone?Why did Peter feel the nee... Read More

Be Loving
on July 2nd, 2023
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)If we want to live a life that honors God, we need to be loving. This verse makes it clear by saying, “Above all, love each other deeply.” This is easier said than done because many people have personalities that just don’t seem to mesh with ours.It is easy to be loving in a general sense. “I just love ev...

What Love!
on July 1st, 2023
“My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)In those moments on the cross, Jesus felt abandoned by God. Think about that. When we trust God, and become His children, He promises never to forsake us, and always to be with us. Jesus’ death, though, is the one time in history when that promise was not applied. Why? On the cross, the spotless Lamb of God took all our sins upon Himself. ... Read More

Believing God’s Word
on June 30th, 2023
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Many people are searching for the will of God. Not only do they want to know the will of God, but they want to stay in His will. Consequently, when someone asks me how they can find God’s ... Read More

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30) If you are going through difficult times in your life right now, you need to learn the spiritual practice of abiding.

Go All in for Christ
on June 28th, 2023
Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16) It saddens me that many believers just sit back and say, “I like the information.” They just sit there like bumps on a log. They hear the Word of God, and they identify themselves as disciples of Christ. They don't apply the Word of God to their lives. They live just like the Laodicean Church. The L... Read More

God’s Healing Power
on June 27th, 2023
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2-5) Have you asked God to heal you from something? Have you seen a friend or family member suffering... Read More

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)This Psalm reminds us that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He graciously grants the desires of our hearts. However, this verse holds a deeper truth about the power of prayer in shaping our desires to align with God's will.As many people have said, “Prayer is not so much trying to change the mind of God...
