TODAY’S VERSE
“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil,’ which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires.”
Galatians 5:16 [...]

TODAY’S VERSE
“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
Hebrews [...]

TODAY’S VERSE
“Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.”
I Corinthians 1:30 (NLT)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
It is easy to miss the reality of what Christ has done for us. We get so caught up in our everyday living. Our habits, thoughts, emotions constantly remind us of our humanness. [...]

TODAY’S VERSE
“On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”
John 14:20 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
A realization is different than knowing something. You can “know” how difficult something may be and later explain, “I never realized how much work it was really going to be!” [...]

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19 (NLT)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Self reliance. Isn’t that the modern day dream? Actually, it has been that way since the beginning of time. And “faith” seems to go right [...]
Revenge
Posted in Behavior, Christian Living, Compassion, Devotion, Devotional, Forgiveness, Grace, Love, Mercy, tagged anger, bitterness, Forgiveness, Grace, Jesus' love, Mercy, Revenge, wrath on August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
TODAY’S VERSE
“Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God.”
Romans 12:19 (NLT)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Revenge. What a toxic emotion. What a deceptive motive. It is so easy to slip into this deadly trap. It starts with a wound. Perhaps a deep hurt, humiliation or betrayal. Life isn’t fair, but this is just too [...]

TODAY’S VERSE
“My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber… The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.”

TODAY’S VERSE
“O LORD, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised.”
Psalms 119:169 (NLT)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
There are many things that we need in life, but perhaps one of the most important is discernment. Things are seldom the way they appear. How important is it then to know the mind of God when we are [...]

Posted in Behavior, Christian Living, Compassion, Devotion, Devotional, Grace, Hope, Love, Mercy, tagged assistance, burden, Charity, Compassion, difficulties, Jesus' love, Love, Mercy on August 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
TODAY’S VERSE
“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 (NASB)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
If I was asked to describe Christianity using only one word, I would choose the word, “love”. John tells us that God is love. It is His love that makes mercy and grace possible. Is it no wonder then, if we [...]
