    Christian Devotional – November 15, 2016

    Read Job chapter 8 VERSE: Job 8:3–Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right? TRUTH: For anyone who has experienced difficulties and hardships, this is a very valid question? Job’s friend Bildad starts his speech to Job with this question and while the rest of this speech isn’t very helpful in Job’s situation, these questions are right in the very mind of every single person who has gone through tough times for any reason. When we look at the character of who God is, we will see that He is Justice and He is Right. He cannot possibly pervert those things since He is the very definition…

    Read 1 Timothy chapter 2 VERSE: 1 Timothy 2:4–who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. TRUTH: God desires to see everyone come to salvation. God has enough grace for everyone who will turn to Him and acknowledge Him as Lord. For that to happen, people must come to a knowledge of the truth of who God is and what God has done for us. When we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and we commit ourselves to Him, we will experience His grace and forgiveness. We will be saved. But, people must understand that they need this in their lives…

    Read 2 Peter chapter 2 VERSE: 2 Peter 2:18–For they mouth empty boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. TRUTH: This chapter deals entirely with false teachers. In Peter’s time there were several people who were making claims about what people should be doing. Peter is stating that these teachers would boast and appeal to new believers and work to entice them away before they had a chance to really get grounded and understand what the truth of the Lord meant in their lives. We can easily get drawn away from the…

    Christian Devotional – July 3, 2016

    What’s holding up your life? Here is the Christian devotional for the day today. This online devotional and bible study tool for women and men discusses the first piece of the armor of God, the belt of Truth. As we are seeking to “get dressed” in order to fend off the attacks of Satan, the first piece of armor that we need is the Belt of Truth. This belt surrounds us and helps keep us from tripping over the lies of Satan. What is truth? Well, the better question is Who is truth. John 14:6 states that Jesus is the Truth. We need to wrap our lives in Him so…

    Read 1 Samuel chapter 31 VERSE: 1 Samuel 31:13–Then they took the bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted seven days. TRUTH: The king had died. The king had abandoned God and had led the people down a difficult path, but he was still their king and they gave him the honor and respect that his position required in this situation. As we are going through our day, do we give people the honor and respect that they deserve? This doesn’t negate our obligation to share the truth with them when they are going down the wrong path, but this means that we still…

    Christian Devotional – February 17, 2015

    Read Psalm chapter 42 VERSE: Psalm 42:5–Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. TRUTH: This verse is so important, it’s repeated again in verse 11. We must recognize when our soul is downcast, depressed, disillusioned or any other negative feeling. Then we must direct our soul to put hope in God. We won’t feel like it. We won’t see it anywhere around us. We won’t have a reason to do so, other than the fact that I trust in who God says He is. Are we willing to tell our…

    Christian Devotional – September 20, 2014

    Read 1 Corinthians chapter 13 VERSE: 1 Corinthians 13:6–Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. TRUTH: Such a beautiful chapter that give so many qualities and characteristics of love. In other places, we are told that God is love, so this chapter also is sharing qualities and characteristics about God. When we are displaying the love of God in our lives, our lives will display these qualities as well. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. While this one sounds so easy (Of course, don’t most people want truth and not evil!?!?), the sad truth is that we can easily be pulled…

    Christian Devotional – August 15, 2014

    Read 3 John VERSE: 3 John 1 – The elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in truth. TRUTH: John, writing here, gives a great definition of friendship. Gaius was a dear friend that John loved in truth. Friendship should always be based on truth and not lies, however, even more special is when the friendship is based on “The Truth,” Jesus Christ. Do we define our relationship with others by our relationship with Christ? We should use that definition and allow our relationship with Jesus Christ to impact everyone else in our life. RESPONSE: Father, I love You and I love that You are truth. Please keep…

    Read Lamentations chapter 2 VERSE: Lamentations 2:14–The visions of your peoples were false and worthless; they did not expose your sin to ward off your captivity. The prophecies they gave you were false and misleading. TRUTH: The people had suffered the consequences of their actions, yet they were surprised and confused. After all, they had prophets; why didn’t they know this was coming? Jeremiah, the writer, is telling the people that the prophets they had were just telling them what they wanted to hear. The people didn’t want to think they were living in sin and disobedience. They wanted to just do what they wanted, so they had “yes men”…

    Christian Devotional – July 31, 2014

    Read 1 John chapter 5 VERSE: 1 John 5:7-8–there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. TRUTH: In the Old Testament, the law required two or three witnesses when giving testimony in court. Here, John shares that the testimony of Jesus Christ is verified by three witnesses who are all in agreement. Do we know and understand the truth about Jesus Christ? We can share with confidence because we have such strong witnesses who are all in agreement that Jesus is who He said He is. RESPONSE: Father, Your word is truth and all things testify to the truth of…
