Don’t Shy Away From Shedding Tears
on September 13th, 2025
You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? – Psalm 56:8 When is the last time you shed tears and shared them with other people? You didn't do it for an act; they just came. Tears say, “I care.” Don't think that the Christian life has to be lived without tears. Don't think that for a moment. Tears are very important. As one person said, “Tears are t... Read More

Don’t Miss Out
on September 12th, 2025
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:10-13) When Jes... Read More

Don’t Let Your Love Grow Cold
on September 11th, 2025
“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” – Matthew 24:9-12 In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus is talking to Hi... Read More

Don’t Forget
on September 10th, 2025
“My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me. I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam. My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord.” – Micah 6:3-5 It’... Read More

Don’t Be Discouraged In Waiting For Your Miracle
on September 8th, 2025
“As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind me were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!’ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!’” – Matthew 20:29-31 As another year comes to an end, mos...

Don’t Abuse Your Free Will
on September 7th, 2025
“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,” (Matthew 24:12) One gift that God has given you as a human being is free will. Because He has given you free will, God will never make you do something. He will not force you to do something, even if the thing you’re going to do is not what He wants you to do. He will abide by your personal will. However, God allows you t... Read More

Don’t Stay On The Sidelines
on September 6th, 2025
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. (1 Corinthians 9:24) If you’ve ever played sports, you know how frustrating and almost painful it can be to be stuck on the sidelines when you want to be playing in the game. No one wants to get benched. Everyone wants a piece of the action. They want to be contributing to aid the t... Read More

Do You Need To Get Up?
on September 5th, 2025
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 10:3-5 There are a lot of peo...

Do You Love The World Or Do You Love The Lord?
on September 4th, 2025
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” – 1 John 2:15-17 Yesterday we talked about the different... Read More

Do You Love God’s Word and His People?
on September 3rd, 2025
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. – 1 John 5:13 John wrote his three epistles so that you and I could know without a shadow of a doubt that we know Jesus, we understand the gospel, and we have a personal relationship with our Savior.

Our Real Enemy
on September 2nd, 2025
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12) I was watching the news the other night, and I found myself getting frustrated with all the political division and chaos in our world. I started thinking about all the people I disag... Read More
