WERE YOU TOLD?
When I was introduced to Christianity, I was never told many of the following basic truths: • Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost. • It’s not what you can do for God, but what He wants to do through … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: PARTING WORDS
ONE-MINUTE LEFT… (From the conclusion of, Spiritual Sobriety.) I thought to myself, what would I want to say to you if you were sitting in front of me and we were about to part with one minute left? There might … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: A FATHER WHO DISCIPLINES
Remember: *There is a HUGH difference between discipline and punishment* Like any good Father concerned for the welfare of His children, there are times when God corrects us in discipline. The writer of Hebrews really says it all… “For whom … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: A WELL-ROUNDED VIEW OF FATHER
Let’s be careful not to paint a lopsided picture of God. Remember, Father is God. Never forget that Abba is also Jehovah. Don’t impose upon Him the limited persona of the cuddly, gray-bearded grandfather-who-spoils-you, because that would be incomplete. Just … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: A FATHER WHO WON’T FORGET
When you boil down our faith and eternal life, all we really have to hang onto are the promises that Father has made in the Bible. Going back to Genesis, we see promises (covenants) that He made with Adam, Noah, … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: A FATHER WHO WILL NOT ABANDON!
God initiated this divine relationship with us. He reached out to us first. Our saving relationship with Father is not kept by our actions or behavior. It is secured by His will, His promises, and the sealing of His Spirit … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: SELF ESTEEM OR GOD ESTEEM?
REMEMBER THIS; SHARE THIS: *The greatest “esteem” we can have is God-Esteem.* That’s when we see ourselves how God sees us. We see our reflection in His eyes. Lack of self-esteem, as a counseling issue, is a shallow, self-centered, somewhat destructive, … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: DO YOU WORRY?
Do you worry? We all do. Here’s a sadistic charade: psychologically, worrying and embracing fear can trick us into feeling like we are somehow in control. I’ve done it a bazillion times. Then, if we do muster up the courage … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: DO YOU HONESTLY TRUST GOD? REALLY?
Do you honestly trust God? In my journey to spiritual sobriety, this is one of the toughest questions I had to grapple with. It was difficult because, maybe like you, I thought I did trust God. Yet numerous trials left … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: ARE YOU A VOLUNTEER?
God is not looking for volunteers. (Yea, we are going to split some hairs for the sake of learning our identity and discipleship.) To get hyper-technical, if you are saved and you serve at your church, you are not a … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: WELCOME TO YOUR BATLEFIELD
IF you have trusted in and depended upon Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are now, at your core, primarily a spiritually alive person. And, as a spiritually alive person, your enemies are redefined by the Scriptures. In Ephesians 6:12, … Continue reading

Today’s Devo: A FATHER WHO FIGHTS OUR BULLIES
