1 Peter....
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington

God's People: The Future Judgment (1 Peter 4.4-6) "In regard to these, they [the Gentiles] think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel…(continue reading article)

Day of the Shofar Blast -- Yom Teruah
'Refreshment in Refuge' from Gina Burgess

Rosh Hashannah... Jewish new year... blowing of trumpets... The Gathering... makes me tingle all over. When I lived in Baton Rouge, I had a delicious opportunity to go to a Messianic Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashannah (Feast of Trumpets). If you ever get a chance to celebrate this you are in for such a wonderful experience. I…(continue reading article)

The Rich Man’s Reward
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley

The righteousness of the blameless clears his path, but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness. The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires. When the wicked dies, his expectation comes to nothing, and hope placed in wealth vanishes.…(continue reading article)

Don't Do It!
'Find the Call' from Andy Castro

Today we will be discussing the third and final step of this three part series on goal setting.

Since Mankind has fallen, God has been in…(continue reading article)

A Good Man
''Christ in You...'' from Dale Krebbs

Do you know, or know of, a person that seems to be a perfect person - at least as perfect a person as a human can be? If you do, you are not alone. I know one also. A good person. But not a Godly person. It has seemed for a long time to be such a contradiction - this person seems sinless, as much as can…(continue reading article)

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook"
Reward for the Righteous

"So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily He is a God that judgeth in the earth."   Psalms 58:11 God's judgments in this life are not always clearly to be seen, for in many cases one event happeneth alike to all.

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning and Evening for May 14

"Joint heirs with Christ." - Romans 8:17 The boundless realms of his Father's universe are Christ's by prescriptive right.

Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Elul 08'

When we read the Scriptures, we find that forgiving others is a commandment, not an option. There are no exceptions. The above verse implies that a wrong was committed which might lead to grudge-bearing. The transgressor's attitude is not mentioned. Likewise, verse 17 (the verse before the one quoted) emphasizes the necessity of rebuking while not… — ( click here to read more )

Question: What has stirred up more strife than any other thing in the history of the world? Answer: The tongue! Sometimes when you go for a medical examination the doctor says: "Put out your tongue."

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — August 19

It might be a shock to some of us if we could know why we are disliked and why our testimony is rejected so violently. Could it be that we are guilty of a deep sinfulness of disposition that we just cannot keep hidden? Arrogance, lack of charity, contempt, self-righteousness, religious snobbery, fault-finding--and all this kept under careful restraint… … — ( click here to read more )

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
"My presence shall go with thee." Exodus 33:14

"My presence shall go with thee." Exodus 33:14

SO the Lord promised Moses, and so He has promised us. Let us never venture any where, if we have reason to think the Lord will not favour us with His presence there. The Lord's presence produces holiness, imparts power, fires with zeal, brings into union, and often fills with comfort,…
