Daily Christian Living Articles, Devotionals, and Faith Inspiration. John 15:20; Acts 24:16; Hebrews 6:10 In recent posts, I have written about God's servants feeling used and unappreciated, experiencing undeserved disrespect and resentment, and having hidden greed—a desire to be rewarded.
From these very real and common perils, there emerge at least three timely lessons for all of us to remember. Lesson one: no servant of God is completely safe. A tough truth to accept! We who give and give become increasingly more vulnerable as time passes (read John 15:20). Jack Graham Devotional - PowerPoint Daily Christian Bible Devotions. How To Know Your Faith is Fact April 17, 2014 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 Dr. Along the same lines, noted attorney Sir Edward Clark said, “As a lawyer I have made a prolonged study of the evidences for the resurrection… To me the evidence is conclusive, and over and over again in the High Court I have secured the verdict on evidence not nearly so compelling.”

Foolish Sheep, Faithful Shepherd All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
—Isaiah 53:6 Sometimes we forget the implications of the first verse in Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd.” If He’s our Shepherd, it means we are sheep. The prophet Isaiah certainly thought so. The Journey Devotional with Ron Moore, Christian Bible Devotions. The Real Thing | Colossians 2:16-19 Colossians 2:16-19 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Charles Stanley InTouch Daily Devotional. April 19/20 Ephesians 2:8-9 Recently I was talking with a fellow about his spiritual life.
Greg Laurie Devotional - Daily Harvest Bible Devotions. Talk about It And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. - (Acts 24:24) When the apostle Paul stood before the Roman governor Felix and his wife, “he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come” - (Acts 24:25).
But Felix was frightened by what he was hearing, and so he told Paul, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you” (verse 25). That is how a lot of people are: Go away for now. I don’t want to talk about it. That was my mother’s response every time the topic turned to spiritual things. A Good Thing, Daily Devotions from Baptist Bible Hour. Day 17 Theme: Serving Others We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves– Romans 15:1.
Daily Christian Living Articles, Devotionals, and Faith Inspiration. “If you can lose your salvation, you already have.” — Tommy Nelson Being “saved by grace” is a clear doctrine found in tons of passages, like Ephesians 2:8-10.
But some people believe that if you don’t hang onto Jesus tightly enough or if you commit certain sins, you can actually lose your salvation. You can lose your grip; and you can spend eternity in hell, even though you have been born again. It can be quite confusing because there are a few verses that look like they say that, if you take them out of the greater context of the whole Bible. It’s important to know that it’s not you holding onto Jesus. Discover the Book Daily Devotional from Dr. John Barnett, Christian Bible Devotions. Beware of the Deadening Effects of Intentional Sin Psalm 32 explains how the rivers of living water refreshed the soul of David.

A Daily Word with Dr. Ed Young, Christian Devotional. April 17 Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be established. - Proverbs 16:3 “I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track,” said Woodrow Wilson. (1) Works that can be submitted to God have plans that will succeed, even if the planners get it wrong.

The First Step Toward Freedom. Alternative View with Dr. Tony Evans, Daily Devotional. Transformed by Temptation In His Presence: Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone (James 1:13).
Temptation can be defined as a solicitation to do evil. Remember, nothing can come your way without divine approval. Whether it’s a test or a temptation, positive or negative, it has to flow through God’s fingers first. Adrian Rogers Love Worth Finding Daily Devotional. The Just for the Unjust “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the Just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God …” - 1 Peter 3:18 A Roman soldier walked down a narrow corridor in a Roman prison. He held the torch up, and back in the shadows was a man. The guard with his key opened the door and said, “Barabbas, get up and come with me.” Barabbas began to plead, “No, wait, don’t take me! In what happened to Barabbas, God arranged a perfect picture of substitution — the just dying for the unjust that He might bring us to Himself. Take time today to tell the Lord Jesus Christ how much you love Him and how grateful you are that He stepped out of glory and became obedient unto death—even the death of the Cross—for your sake and mine.
