Setting the Table Differently [Friday, #429] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you start your day? Eyes open slowly. You reach for your phone to see if you’ve missed anything. Scroll through your Facebook feed to get your perspective on the day. Once that’s settled, you climb out of bed, shower, get dressed and head into the kitchen to see out your day-starting meal. While you’re eating, there’s another social media check, news and of course, the weather. Now you’re really ready for the day. Or are you? Let me suggest a different way to start your day. We'll take a
The Holy Spirit Gives Us LIfe [Wednesday, #428] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We live on the other side of the resurrection, so the Holy Spirit is ours as soon as we believe in Jesus. In our passage from John 7 today, we learn two distinct purposes of the Holy Spirit. We have life within us. The Holy Spirit gives us the life of God himself. He lives in us. It’s an incomprehensible fact. Life flows from us. The Holy Spirit wasn’t given to you for selfishness. He flows from you to the world. You have the hope of all hopes, salvation for the world. Reconciliation with God. P
Peace with God--What a Gift! [Monday, #427] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s something extremely comforting to know that I have peace with God. I might struggle with a lot of things – relationships, tension at work, family differences, anxiety about finances, problem kids, lack of purpose – but one thing I do have is peace with God. That overarching truth comforts me. “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1-2 NIV) Join me for today's audio devotional. KEY PASSAGE: Romans 8:35, 37-3
A Tour of Generosity [Friday, #426] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Stop giving! Keep your money in your pocket! The church doesn’t need it anymore! We’re shutting down the giving page on our website!” Can you imagine your pastor shouting that proclamation from the pulpit? It might sound absurd, but that’s exactly what Moses said to Israel in Exodus 36 (NIV). Let's look at that and other passages and see some powerful examples of extreme genrosity. KEY PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 (NIV) And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God
Generosity in Times of Personal Crisis [Wednesday, #425] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Loneliness, worry, fear and disorientation show up in crisis. We’ve all been there. Even in the small trials, life seems out of control. Thankfully, we pray and God comforts. But we all need someone to come alongside us in times like this. The Apostle Paul had one of those friends, Onesimus, who ministered to him in his imprisonment. An escaped Philippian slave, Paul led this young man to Christ. Onesimus became such an important part of Paul’s life that he didn’t want to send him back to the Ph
