Christian Devotional – September 29, 2015
Read James chapter 1 VERSE: James 1:16-17–Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

He doesn’t change and so the good things that He is able to bring about in others lives, He is able to bring about in our lives. We can often get deceived into thinking that we “worked” to provide these good things. Or, sometimes…

Christian Devotional – December 31, 2013
VERSE: Titus 3:14–Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. TRUTH: What are we devoting ourselves to? What do we seek after and focus on? Paul indicates that as believers in Christ we are to devote ourselves to doing good. We are able to be productive and to help provide for the urgent and important needs around us. RESPONSE: Father, help me today to see the good things that You have done and have provided for me to be a part of. You have things planned for me and I don’t want to miss anything. I…
