The Devotional

The Devotional Romans 1:16-17 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith. COMMENT:   When is the last time you shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with someone? Today we are alive in a very critical and evil world. Stuffed into an overstuffed closet is the GOOD NEWS. Right along with banning the Holy Bible from public school, the local townhall, the Federal Government, public and sporting events and some churches; the Gospel is barred. I need not explain this to you, in your heart and soul you KNOW this is true. Now I know we come up with a lot of ‘human’ good reasons to stay silent, but what about the other side of this coin? God is not willing that any should perish, His will is that all should be saved (2 Peter 3:9). God also has provided...

The Devotional 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22 – And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the LORD and admonish (instruct) you. And to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

The Devotional Psalm 121 – I will lift up my eyes to the hills – From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved (slip); He who keeps you will not slumber, Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber not sleep. The LORD is your keeper (protector); The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve (keep) your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. COMMENT: The Psalm (a song of ascents) is directed at the people of Israel, yet it has application for you and me who are Church age saints.
