“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11 […]
08/22/22 Daily Devotion – The character of our God sets Christianity apart!
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even […]
08/21/22 Daily Devotion – Bring the mindset of Jesus to all your relationships!
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5 NIV) I have purposely set this verse apart from verses 6-11 (the well-known verses that support the doctrine of the two natures of Christ). Those verses get so much attention they sometimes detract from this one. In verse 4, Paul […]
08/15/22 Daily Devotion – Being Christian is Christ living in us!
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21, NASB95) “For to me, to live is Christ.” This is hard for us to fully understand. Central to Paul’s understanding of the Christian life is that Christ now lives in us and we in Him. He says in Galatians 2:20, “It […]
08/11/22 Daily Devotion – He is with us, not just on Sundays!
“…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6, NIV84) Most every single day, the most comforting thing for my personal walk with God is that I am not alone. I know for certain that it is […]
08/06/22 Daily Devotion – God’s rescue provides a second chance at life!
“For He rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.” (Col. 1:13) In a study of the kingdom of God, it is important to see that when we contrast the kingdom of this world and the kingdom of God, the contrast is as stark as light […]
08/02/22 Daily Devotion – Join the rescue mission!
“For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 28:30–31, NIV84) This is the last verse in the book of Acts. And what does it mention? […]
07/30/22 Daily Devotion – Are the glasses you see through of Heaven or Earth?
“After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:3, NIV84) Just how important is the message of the kingdom of God? Well, let’s recognize here that Jesus […]
07/29/22 Daily Devotion – There’s no question about our future!
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep […]
07/28/22 Daily Devotion – Do you have oil in your lamp?
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with […]
