As 1 devotional-Are you effecting your “area”?

by LD

Good morning everyone, 2 Corinthians 10:13-But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you. It is possible for two Christians to be relatively in the same situation, whether that’s job, family issues, upbringing, etc, and one person […]

What Really Justifies Your Existence?

by PH

Have you been saved from your justification? What I mean is whatever it is that justifies your existence – that makes your life worthy – have you been saved from it? When we think about being saved, we normally think of being saved from sin – you know the bad stuff we used to do. […]

As 1 devotional- Being misunderstood with Jesus

by LD

Good afternoon everyone, Psalm 89:50-51-Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, with which your enemies mock, O Lord, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.

Proactive God

by PH

Do you think of God as proactive or reactive? What I mean is, do you believe God actively disciplines, transforms, and even causes changes to people, which is proactive, or do you believe God waits until we make a move and then reacts to either punish us or reward us, which is reactive?

One of the most difficult things to do in life is to keep a perspective that sees your life as a whole, rather than fragments […]

Two Possible Purposes of Life

by PH

There are only two possible purposes for life. One is building our own kingdom. The other is building God’s kingdom. This is becoming more and more clear as I look at the people around me, the celebrities, the historical figures, the athletes, and also as I look into myself. What is scary is that in […]

As 1 devotional-Do you recognize your “pearls” of faith?

by LD

Good morning everyone, Matthew 7:6-"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. After Jesus addresses being unfairly judgmental when not considering our own sins (hypocritical), He then goes onto talk about "pearls" that we have?? Have you ever […]

Come vs Return

by PH

What is the difference between someone saying to you, “Come to me” and “Return” to me”? You immediately pick up on the fact that “come to me” is for first timers and “return to me” is for those who already belonged. I find it fascinating that the Bible contains both phrases from God to us. […]
