What Are You Living For?
“But if I don’t understand a language, I will be a foreigner to someone who speaks it, and the one who speaks it will be a foreigner to me.” (1 Corinthians 14:11 NLT) Having visited other countries I understand, at least in part, the frustration of not being able to speak to a person inContinue reading “What Are You Living For?”
What Has You?
“When Jesus heard his answer, He said, ‘There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.’” (Luke 18:22 NLT) Money and possessions can be the tentacles of Satan when they become our priority. WhenContinue reading “What Has You?”
Strong for God?
“Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. (Romans 4:20 NLT) It’s no small thing to be a servant of the most high God! It takes strength and perseverance, endurance, and persistent effort. Why? Because it’s counter-cultural; it’s the exact opposite ofContinue reading “Strong for God?”
Ambition
“You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though He was God He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form,Continue reading “Ambition”
Imitator?
“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.” (Ephesians 5:1-2 NLT) Do you remember Gunsmoke? It was a TV program a long timeContinue reading “Imitator?”
Our Vocations

Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.” (2 TimothyContinue reading “Our Vocations”
Problems?
“During those dark times, it was not safe to travel. Problems troubled the people of every land. Nation fought against nation, and city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem. But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.” (2 Chronicles 15:5-7 NLT) In theContinue reading “Problems?”
You Display God’s Splendor
“They will be called … a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” (Isaiah 61:3) *On the 15th of each month I devote a day to share with you a devotional by Sylvia Gunter. Please read these words slowly and attentively as you allow the Holy Spirit to speak through her toContinue reading “You Display God’s Splendor”
Apathy and Passion
“Then His disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: ‘Passion for God’s house will consume Me.’” (John 2:17 NLT) Passion is a multidimensional issue. There are those in our world today who are very passionate about evil, and it’s no wonder. Satan is extremely motivated to take as many people to hell with him asContinue reading “Apathy and Passion”
