Satan’s Deception
NEIL ANDERSON DAILY DEVOTIONAL from Freedom in Christ Ministries April 13 A Truth Encounter Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15). Another common misconception of the spiritual world is that demonic influence is only evident […]
Tozer On Solitude
Christian Quotation of the Day March 23, 1999 Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. “The thoughtful […]
Can You Lose The Holy Spirit?
Having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). After King Saul disobeyed God (1 Samuel 15), we’re told that “the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him” (1 Samuel 16:14). This is a difficult passage for two reasons. […]
“Prepare To Live”
Read: Romans 15:13-19 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope. -Romans 15:13 In 1931, Jane Whyte felt she was nearing the end of her life. Her husband Alexander, the famous Scottish preacher, had died 10 years earlier. As she looked at the […]
Anxiety
The peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Christians have frequently relied upon a sense of peace as evidence of the Holy Spirit’s leading. It is common to hear people say, “I just don’t have a peace about it.” I think that is […]
Limits To Faith?
Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). When people struggle with their faith in God, it’s not because their faith-object is insufficient. It’s because people have unreal expectations of God. They expect Him to operate a certain way or answer prayer a certain way–their way, not His–and when He […]
“Right And Wronged”
Read: 1 Peter 2:18-25 When He was reviled, [He] did not revile in return. -1 Peter 2:23 Several years ago, a university student who took the gospel of Christ to a rough London neighborhood encountered a group of hostile men “You rat!” said one of the men, seizing him. “I’ve half a mind to break […]
Faith
And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). The sun is perhaps the most credible object of faith for the world. It appears to be immutable. It has always been there, 24 hours of every day, 365 days a year. Without the sun, people couldn’t live. If the sun didn’t rise […]
Pieta
O painful, painful, painful day! My Lord, my flesh, my son; the breath of life you breathed away, was life in God now won. The pain of birth you chose to make a sign of God’s new life. So for God’s Kingdom you now take the pain, the curse, the knife. “Here is your son”, […]
Good Friday To Easter Day
Good Friday Good Friday in my heart! Fear and affright! My thoughts are the disciples when they fled, My words the words that priest and soldier said, My deed the spear to desecrate the dead. And day, Thy death therein, is changed to night. Then Easter in my heart sends up the sun. My thoughts […]
