Maturing

Oops! There's Pride!

Without warning, pride quickly creeps up on us... starting as something small, making us feel better about ourselves, but then better than others... even forgetting that without God we are nothing.

Where is Your Treasure?

Today the world measures success by how much money you make, where you live, and the liberal freedoms your money has bought you, yet Christ told His disciples of a different measurement of success, one that was not bound only to this world...

Everything You Need

With the current economic situation, times are tough. It is times like these that make us wonder what we are going to do, and where we will find the things we need. In this devotion, Rod Smith tells of how when times were tough, someone a little bit more powerful took care of Rod's needs, just as He will yours...

Love is Patient

It is so very easy to become frustrated and angry with those we "love," but what does having a true Biblical love mean during frustrating times?

Because God Loves the World

As Christians we take comfort in knowing the love that God has for us, but we often avoid sharing that love with people who do not know Him...

It's All About Me!

In a world that is crying, "It's all about me," it is hard for Christians not to get sucked into this way of thinking...

Swing and a Miss
Everyday you see athletes boasting about what they can do, and how their opponents can't stop them... and yet you often find them on the front page of the paper the very next day being made a fool of... mostly by their own words. But conceit isn't limited to athletics, but is something that everyone must face every single day...

Trusting God

Sometimes it isn't easy for us to trust God, and these are usually the times where we need to trust Him the most...

Cheating on God?

Every time we sin, we are in essence cheating on God. Instead of loving Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul; we end up pleasing the Devil by rejecting God's commandments and falling into sin... and so often we make excuses for ourselves, and do not realize how damaging sin is to our relationship with Him.

Satan Runs Faster

We all have areas of failure, whether it is noticeable by others or not. We all fall short of the glory of God, and fall to temptations. And it seems that Satan is right there, continuously telling us that we "cannot defeat him."

Love the Lord Your God

Today we have invented many different meanings of the word love, associating it with food, with crushes, and even sports teams... but real love is so much more, and so much harder... yet God tells us the greatest commandment is to love Him with all of our heart, all of our soul, and all of our mind...

"Clawing" God
As Christians it is extremely easy to find the flaws in others, but so many times we forget to examine ourselves...

God, Are You Listening?

Have you ever prayed to God for something, only to be left wondering if God was even listening?

Forgiving Your "Dr. Mengele"

I think in almost everyone's life, there is at least one person you absolutely do not want to forgive. One person who has said something, or done something to you or someone very close...

Where did God Go???

Sometimes we feel out of touch with God, or we look at all of the terrible things happening in the world and ask how a loving God could let them happen... sometimes we wonder if God is really keeping His promises, and if He is still even there...

Romans 8:38-39
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Matthew 28:20
[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
