How to be still, quiet, trusting and dependent upon God. Written by Colin Millar on 08/10/2019 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: God, Prayer, Wait, Quiet Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14 It was early morning, and I was on day nine of a 31-day journey through a devotional called Waiting on God by Andrew Murray. It is a compilation of devotionals on implementing a deeper relationship with the Lord. During this time, God blew a “new life” breath into my heart. I was sitting quietly, with the Father, on our garden when God gave me a loud and clear call under the blazing fire of His Holy Spirit burning these words into my heart, soul, mind, and spirit, “Call my body to wait on Me.” Before I began this waiting on God adventure, I thought, waiting on God was biding my time, trying to fight impatience for Him to move and do something. However, I have discovered that now, the more I wait on Him — just simply being still and...

What was your life like before you accepted Jesus and asked Him to save you? Written by Hope on 19/01/2015 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Forgiveness, Love “Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit.” I Peter 3:18 What was your life like before you accepted Jesus and asked Him to save you? You may have grown up as a Christian from a very young age. However, many people don’t accept Jesus until they are much older. Whatever your background, whatever your testimony -- God can use you to help others come to know, love, and follow Him. God will forgive anyone! We All Sin It can be a challenge to understand that everyone is impacted by sin. At first, people might not want to admit that sin rules their lives. But even Israel’s ancient King David, who was called “a man after [the Lord’s] own heart” (I Samuel 13:14), said, “I was born...

Dear Reader, Mike Huckabee, the former presidential candidate and Fox News commentator, is urging Christians and people of all faiths to get and read David Horowitz's new bestseller  Dark Agenda: The War Against Christian America. Recently, Mike featured David and his book on his hit TBN show  Huckabee . Mike told his audience that  Dark Agenda  is the "most compelling defense of Christianity" that he has read, noting that David is a prominent Jew who is speaking out. Here's what Mike Huckabee said: • "One of the things you spoke so eloquently about in  Dark Agenda  is the need to fight back on issues where we lost our religious liberty." • "You are one of the most, if not THE most articulate and scholarly person I know in this country who has lived a spectrum of life in that way." •  "Be sure to read the book  Dark Agend a – it is a sobering warning about the rising efforts to destroy America's spiritual foundation....

Unforgiveness injures the one withholding forgiveness. Written by Stephen G. Brown on 01/10/2019 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Forgive, Forgiveness, Unforgiveness, Conflict Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 Friendly fire is an attack by a military force upon itself. In an attempt to defend or retaliate, the military force fires at what it thinks is the enemy but is actually itself, resulting in the injury or death of its own forces. I've discovered that unforgiveness is like friendly fire. When we fail to forgive a loved one (or anyone for that matter), we become our own worst enemy. Yes, unforgiveness can feel like our way of getting back at those who injure or mistreat us. However, that harbored hatred is more self-destructive than therapeutic. The Enemy confuses us into thinking our own forces are our foes, resulting in lost time, fellowship and love. How do we escape the trap of unforgiven...

What is Scientology? The Church of Scientology was founded by L. Ron Hubbard and is known as the religion of the stars. Some well-known Hollywood celebrities are members, including Tom Cruise and John Travolta. The teachings of the church are a blend of pseudoscience, Occultism, and science fiction. It teaches that we have an immortal soul called a Thetan, and once we recognize us we can gain superpowers. Yeah, some pretty crazy stuff. Jesus Christ is demoted in Scientology to below the level of operating thetan, meaning that Scientologists can become greater than Jesus Christ! Scientology is also a very expensive religion. Former Scienologist Leah Remini said she spent millions of dollars supporting the church. Then there's Xenu, a galactic warlord that Scientologists learn about once they reach OT III. Scientologist fervently deny him to the public, but the internet and former members have exposed him to the public. They have revealed how Scientology works. There's bran...

Online church services are a great resource — make sure they don’t become your only community Written by GodLife on 04/09/2018 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Church, Church And Community, Fellowship, Online Church And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 Balancing Online and Physical Church My husband and I found a great church. This place has excellent, Bible-based teaching, opportunities to serve, with a young, growing membership. The church offers multiple service times and great music. Unfortunately, we ended up moving. “No problem”, we both thought. “We can just go online and watch the services. At least that way we can still get great teaching while we look for a church in our new town.” Here’s what we discovered. Finding a church can be hard! Especially when the one you attended befo...

Connecting with the Body of Christ Written by Dan Lee on 09/05/2017 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Church, God, Doctrine They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together... Day after day they met together in the temple. They broke bread together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely, while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved. Acts 2:42, 46-47 Last week’s devotional talked about why every follower of Jesus needs to find a church to be a part of, if possible. In some parts of the world, there is no organized church. But if you live somewhere where there are two or more Christian churches to choose from, here are a few teachings and attributes to look for. Many churches have a “Statement of Faith” or “What We Believe” on their website. The Authority and Inerrancy of the Bible When finding a church, yo...

This is one of the most important decisions in your life. Written by Gary Fleetwood on 05/03/2019 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Church, Church And Community, Service And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 Finding the right church where God wants you to grow and serve is a very important decision. You must also understand that not every church is for everyone. Churches are very different in what they believe, in their worship style, and in their spiritual personality, so finding the right church for you is not always that easy!  You want to be very careful and very deliberate in making that decision.  It can impact your life forever. So how can you find the right church? First, You have to ask the right questions. For example, “Does this church actually teach the Bible?” Going to...

The church – your local group of believers – will encourage and guide you as you grow spiritually. Series: Look to Jesus When you became a follower of Jesus, you were “born again” (John 3:3). Can you imagine being a newborn baby just coming home, and your parents left you alone on the floor, giving you no food, milk, clean diapers, or love? That would be terrible! The Church -- Not a Building, But People As a physical family makes sure you get fed and loved, the church – your local group of believers – will encourage and guide you as you grow spiritually. One of the most important things your church does is remind you often of the main points of the gospel: Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for your sins and rose again to show His power over death, Everyone who has by faith received God’s free gift is forgiven of their sins and becomes God’s child, Jesus lives in each believer today through His Holy Spirit, giving them power to live a God-pleasing life. The Church is...

Is it enough to just follow Jesus? Written by GodLife on 02/05/2017 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Church, Membership, Gifts, Baptism, Fellowship Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Did God give us a list of steps we must take before we can go on to maturity? In a way, yes! An interesting Bible passage warns us not to get stuck in our growth, but to move on to maturity. In doing this, it actually gives us seven “basic things” mature believers need to understand clearly. It begins with our personal relationship with God. It moves to our earthly identification with God’s people. And it ends with the ultimate heavenly destiny of all God’s people. Are you ready for a tour? Turn to Hebrews 6 and follow carefully along. Just You and God “Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God...” (Hebrews 6:1) Every foll...

Everyone—from presidents to preachers—is subject to sexual temptation. Tags: Sex, Sin, Temptation Adultery. It’s a common word and a common occurrence in our society. But adultery’s stain goes deeper than the individual. More dishonor has come to the name of Jesus Christ by sexual sin than any other sin. You Will be Tempted. C.S. Lewis, in The Screwtape Letters, said, "No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good. There is a silly idea that good people don’t know what temptation means." We must learn from the Lord to enjoy full mastery over sex, His marvelous gift. "For God did not give us the spirit of timidity," Paul reminds us, "but the spirit of power and love and self-control." Proverbs 4:23 exhorts, "Above all else, guard your heart, for out of it flow the springs of life." How can we do that? Monitor your fantasizing and daydreaming when your mind is idle. Refuse pornography, whether written or in movies or vid...

The proper place for sex is between a husband and wife. Outside of that relationship, sex is destructive to you and to others, just like an out of control fire. Written by Dan Lee on 22/02/2015 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Love, Lust, Marriage, Pleasure, Relationship, Sex, Sin, Temptation “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 A fire provides warmth, light and comfort. But if a fire gets out of control, it can destroy your home, your possessions and even your life. Sex is a lot like that. The proper place for sex is between a husband and wife. Outside of that relationship, sex is destructive to you and to others, just like an out of control fire. Here are 3 importan...

Does the Bible teach that sex before marriage is a sin? Written by Gary Schneider on 23/04/2019 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Marriage, Sex, Adultery, Pre Marital, Purity “Let marriage be held in honor among all…” Hebrews 13:4 Does the Bible even call sex before marriage a sin? A lot of people in today’s world aren’t sure. Our culture has told us that we should do whatever makes us feel good in the moment and that we shouldn’t even consider what the moral thing to do is. Here are several verses to consider when thinking about sex before marriage: 1. 1 Corinthians 7:2 “But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.” In this verse, the apostle Paul describes any activity outside of marriage as “sexual immorality.” That means when we read of sexual immorality, it includes sex before marriage as one of many examples of sin. 2. Hebrews 13:4 “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the...

Prayer makes a difference, and it’s best if you use both channels: talking and listening. Written by Colin Millar on 05/02/2019 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Confidence, God, Prayer Then the king said to me, “What are you requesting?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. …. And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me. Nehemiah 2:4, 8 By Colin Milar If you look at the verses above, one of the shortest prayers mentioned in the Bible made a huge difference, and Nehemiah received everything he needed to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in just 53 days! In Nehemiah’s case, his short prayer for help in mid-sentence of answering King Artaxerxes’ question: “What is your request?” is a beautiful picture of what God calls us to do in 1 Thessalonians 5:17: “Pray without ceasing.” Nehemiah prayed in the midst of a conversation because he knew, by faith, that his heart cry would make a difference. God talks to us! We were visiting some dear friends a ...

A Grace Gift from God Written by Ruth on 17/07/2018 Series: Weekly Devotional Tags: Grace, Tongues, Praying, Relationship What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 1 Corinthians 14:15 What do we need to do for God to hear our prayers? What is Grace? Some people today tell us that we can only speak directly to God when we pray with the “grace gift of tongues.” Let’s look together at what God tells us in the Bible about the prayer of the believer – someone who has accepted Jesus as their Savior. From the unbeliever, there is only one prayer God promises to hear every time – when they call on Jesus to save them. (See John 9:31) There are no magic words for this, no “right words” to be spoken -- it is simply a prayer from the heart for God to help and save them. The thief beside Jesus on the cross prayed simply, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” (Luk...
