Devotion
Worthy Of Reward
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:9-15 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. -1 Corinthians 3:14 A co-worker told me about taking a walk near his home and noticing this imprint on a number of sidewalk slabs: “A. Anderson, 1903.” That name and the date were indelibly inscribed in […]
Legalism
God . . . made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:5, 6). Walking by the Spirit is not legalism, the opposite extreme from license. Paul said: “If you are led by the Spirit, […]
Be God-Centred

And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to perform healing (Luke 9:1, 2). Notice how Jesus equipped His disciples for ministry. He knew that when they began preaching the kingdom […]
Count Your Blessings

An Entirely New Self
You were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8). Ephesians 5:8 describes the essential change of nature which occurs at salvation. It doesn’t say you were in darkness; it says you were darkness. Darkness was your nature, your very essence, as an unbeliever. Nor does […]
For Sinners Only
Read: Romans 3:19-31 There is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. -Romans 3:22-23 It’s heartbreaking to realize that the majority of people in our world are spiritually lost and without Christ. Among them are the lovely and unlovely, the caring and uncaring, the eloquent and the crude. […]
Who Are You?

Lydia is a middle-aged woman who was dealt a bad […]
Old Age – Changes
It’s a long haul from the cradle to the grave. There’s much to learn, no end of mistakes to make, endless twists in the road and constant change. We recall the youthful, energetic, forays designed to bring in the Kingdom overnight. The world had fewer shades of grey then; the solutions were obvious; the possibilities […]
