27 October 2010: Become
Why is the universal appeal to “change” so universal? Why are we never satisfied with the status quo? I think the answer is Biblical. The Bible says we should expect everyone to be basically dissatisfied and uncomfortable no matter how … Continue reading

26 October 2010: Do Not Be Afraid
When I was in middle school I received my first well-stated challenge to the Bible’s authority. It was not from a teacher or even an adult but a well-taught (in error) classmate. That was of course the first challenge of … Continue reading
25 October 2010: Love the Lord Your God
We have looked at the famous “Shema,” Deuteronomy 6:4, where we find the command to “listen up.” This favorite portion of Scripture really bears repeating. After all, and the passage itself is a repetition. Deuteronomy is a “second law” or … Continue reading

22 October 2010: The First Command
Here is an interesting idea: what is the first command God gave mankind? Better yet, what is the first command in the Bible? If you go specifically by imperative mood (morphologically-indicated) you have the first instance in Genesis 1:22. This … Continue reading

Today’s devotion is an application of the command in James 4:8a: “Draw Near to God and He will draw near to you….” The rest of the verse says we have to be clean to do so: “Cleanse your hands you … Continue reading

19 October 2010: Be Strong
Times are TOUGH. We’ve seen before (1 Pet 4:12) that we shouldn’t be surprised by the “fiery trial” that is guaranteed to beset those who are getting it right. This challenge will not go away. The title of this devotion … Continue reading

18 October 2010: Speech
“Actions speak louder than words.” “Talk is cheap.” “A little less talkin’ and a lot more action.” For some it is easy to say the right thing in a moment of emotional fervor, yet follow-through so often lags or lacks. … Continue reading
15 October 2010: Walk
Why are we here? Specifically, why after receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior are you here? An outside observer might shock you with what he thinks your priorities are. From looking at how you spend your time, he might say, … Continue reading

13 October 2010: Devote Yourselves to Prayer
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, as we’ve noted in the past, is the most sacred trust ever given to mankind. It is often corrupted by a wrong or unclear presentation, and as with the Galatians, we should regard a false … Continue reading
12 October 2010: Rejoice
If God prohibits one thing, He often affirmatively commands the opposite. This is the case with coveting, for example. This is one of my all-time favorite commands in the Bible, Exodus 20:17 says “Thou shalt not covet….” We are not … Continue reading
