TODAY’S DEVOTION
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works”
(Hebrews 4:10).
Today’s VerseFull maturity and the complete sanctification of each and every believer (spirit, soul, and body) is Paul’s earnest desire for all Christians. Some incorrectly consider that we can reach sinless perfection in this life, but this is unbiblical, for our old sin nature which resides within this mortal body, lusts against our new life in […] More
Besides the rest of reception, there is also the rest of resistance. Any time there is effort involved in the matter of resisting sin, we can be sure that we are depending to some extent upon the flesh, instead of resting in the finished work of the Cross. “The question is How are we to meet […] More
There are three vital factors that will keep us on the path, and in the power, of spiritual growth: (1) study to know that God’s purpose in saving us is to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:28, 29); (2) learn to reckon upon the finished work of the Cross as His […] More
Today’s VerseIn the beginning there was nothing but God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit inhabiting eternity in a tri-unity of love. They were united in a blessed trinity of endless communion and sweetest fellowship. The only begotten and eternal Son of God, Who forever rests in the bosom of the Father, became Jesus of Nazareth, […] More
As we contemplate the state of things in the world today, we are very deeply impressed and oppressed with the prevailing malady of spiritual blindness. It is the root malady of the time. We should not be far wrong if we said that most, if not all, of the troubles from which the world is […] More
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… “Be diligent!” That’s not a phrase, a command you hear much about these days. We want things to come easily. Sweat in the world of pseudo-faith is frowned upon. But Paul wanted Timothy (and us) to know that maturity in Christ requires genuine effort — as Paul said, “give yourself wholly to them” and “persevere […] More
It is one thing to have aconception or apprehension of the purpose of God, and to be givenup to it, but it is an extra thing to know how God would realizeHis purpose. It is still another thing to know the means He wouldemploy. There are many who have a true conception of what God’spurpose […] More
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… “Lord, humble us gently.” That is one of my friend/s favorite prayers. I like it, too. But thank God Jesus was not gently humbled. While I hate he had to go through agony, his self-emptying humility was stark, bold, drastic, and outrageous. But I am to have this same attitude when […] More
Cause and Effect Too often sinners are not told the entire truth by other believers. Salvation by grace through faith is certainly the most wonderful news that any sinner can be told but the Christian life is not an easy path to tread and all too frequently suffering and pain comes in its wake. Difficulties and […] More
“Who was I that I could withstand God?” Now what we have here is that, over against the sovereignty of the Spirit, was the fixed tradition of Peter in the one case, and the same in the case of those at Jerusalem who “contended with him” for doing what he did. On a later occasion […] More
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… We must not dismiss the idealistic passions of our youth. If you are younger, you are not only part of the church of tomorrow; you are also God’s servant today. Serve him mightily and be an example to those who are older! If you are older, don’t look down on the […] More
