Today’s Devotional: “Rope A Dope” Appearances are deceiving. Things are not always what they seem. God is in control.

Today’s Devotional: “Why God Raises Up” The Bible says the Holy Spirit gives us various gifts, talents, and offices within the body of Christ. “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Daniel, along with three friends, Hananiah, … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “Getting to The Heart” If I were to define religion as the world sees it, it would be the practice of keeping and maintaining the laws and traditions that surround and interweave with it.

Today’s Devotional: “The Righteousness and Justice of God” “I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.” (Jeremiah 9:24) Whenever the justice of God is brought up, His righteousness is right behind.

Today’s Devotional: “Establish Biblical Values” We need to establish a biblical value system. This issue must be settled; therefore, we must ask, “What is really important?” This is not something we decide on a whim but something we must give serious thought to.

Today’s Devotional: “The Choice of Faith” We need to take responsibility for our lives and the choices we make.

Today’s Devotional: “Where Did God Come From?” Where did God come from? This may be the best answer. “He came from nowhere.

Today’s Devotional: “Let’s Be Who God Created” We should never try to be someone we’re not. God made each of us for a purpose. When we pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we’re agreeing with God that He has a plan and purpose for this present … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “Outrageous Faith” Thinking about Noah and the Ark, I began to wonder about how outrageous faith is. Faith is something that’s completely against all reason and logical thought.

Today’s Devotional: “It’s Closer Than We Thought” Lately, I’ve had conversations about a variety of issues, with the overall conclusion being “It’s closer than we thought.” Several talked about their health and are making plans for their deaths.

Today’s Devotional: “Waiting for God” One of the hardest things we can do is to wait. If there’s one thing we dislike more than anything else, it’s waiting. Waiting is not our forte. We see this in our society, where fast food, remote controls, and microwave ovens are the norm. But it’s when we’re in … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “Fear Breaks, Faith Makes” We all have the capacity to make or break a church’s outreach based on what we believe. Moses told the officers to weed out those who were afraid so that their fear wouldn’t affect the others. “Then the officers shall add, ‘Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “Take a Walk with God” If you want to know what pleases God, take a walk with Him. This was Enoch’s testimony. “And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24) “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ‘and was not … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “God Is Not Mocked” There is a real danger when we begin to treat God and the things of God lightly. Consider how the Lord’s anger burned against Uzza, striking him down after Uzza laid his hand on the Ark of the Covenant. “Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for … Read more

Today’s Devotional: “Growing in Our Faith” God has designed all life to grow. To Adam and Eve, He said, “Be fruitful and multiply.” (Genesis 1:28) From the moment we were conceived, God designed us for growth.
