Do You Need To Get Up?
on July 16th, 2023
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. – 2 Corinthians 10:3-5There are a lot of peopl...

A Ripple Effect
on July 15th, 2023
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15) While D.L. Moody’s salvation story is one of my favorites, the story doesn’t end there. In fact, this was just the beginning, because D.L. Moody’s story is proof that you just never know the ripple effect your obedience can have on the lives of others. After D.L Moody was saved, he began preaching all o... Read More

Just Share
on July 14th, 2023
“For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” (Luke 12:12) I love the story of D.L. Moody. It all began in 1858 when D.L. Moody was a shoe clerk in Boston. At the time, he was involved in a Bible study class, and he had a Bible teacher by the name of Kimball. Because he was broken over the spiritual condition of his students, Kimball showed up one day in the back room o... Read More

The Power of Community
on July 13th, 2023
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25) There is something very powerful about community, especially the “church community.” In large sprawling communities, and in towns that don’t even have a blinking traffic signal, all have pockets of caring, faithful children of ...

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
on July 12th, 2023
Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) When you line up with the culture, rather than lining up with the Word of God, you will have a hard time seeing Jesus. You might not want to admit that, but it’s the truth. Unfortunately, many... Read More

Paying Attention to God
on July 11th, 2023
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1) The other day at our Men's Prayer Breakfast, I had to start the gathering and lead the men in a word of prayer. All the guys were talking, and scurrying around visiting with one another. To silence their conversations, I had to say, “Let me have your attention.” I don't mind raising my v... Read More

Persecution Is Guaranteed
on July 9th, 2023
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33I want to start today’s devotional with a hard truth. I know it might not be the most encouraging statement, but it’s a truth we all need to embrace and be prepared for as we continue to follow Jesus. Here’s the truth:When you live for Jesus,...

Remember, Repent, and Return
on July 8th, 2023
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. (Revelation 2:5) We talked about the danger of forgetting your first love, Jesus Christ our Savior. For many Christians today, their faith is not the same as it used to be. They feel distant, lukewarm, and ineffective for the Kingdom. The ... Read More

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
