Devotions
You Are a Tree
"In righteousness shalt thou be established" (Isa. 54:14). Jesus is the very picture of established righteousness. When He walked into the funeral of Lazarus, He was the only One not dressed in black. That's because He hadn't come to a funeral, He had come to a...
Jesus Will Save His People
"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." (Matt. 1:21 NASB) The very reason that Jesus was born was so He could save us from our sins. The plan of salvation that God consummated in Jesus required that...
Don’t Give Up!
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ( Matt. 24:13) I remember hearing about the man who brought in the first oil well to east Texas. (At one time, east Texas had the biggest oil field in the world.) He had made a million dollars and then...
Watch Your Attitude Before God
"And [Jesus] spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I...
Eyes of Salvation
"Leah was tender eyed..." (Gen. 29:17). The New King James Version of this verse says that Leah had "delicate" eyes. Another translation says her eyes were "attractive." A third states that she had "lovely" eyes. The Torah gives a different report. It says that...
Christmas is: Your Day of Deliverance
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:10-11 KJV). With the world's idea of...
He Came To Declare Him
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him" (John 1:18). How Jesus realized and appreciated the phase of His mission on earth: Declaring the true nature of His Father! A noted Bible scholar...
Don’t Just Sit There, Arise!
"Now four men who were lepers were at the entrance of the city's gate; and they said to one another, Why do we sit here until we die.... So they arose" (2 Kings 7:3,5 AMP). No matter how bad the problem is you may be facing today, no matter how far under the...
You Are Already Free
Resurrection life means we know we don’t need to get free, we already are free. Satan’s work has already been defeated by Jesus’ finished work on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead. That means countless Christians are living in some form of bondage from...
Christmas is: Eternal Freedom from Slavery
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:11 KJV). Christmas is the day that marks your deliverance from eternal slavery. After reading many translations of Luke 2:10-11, I wasn't satisfied. So I wrote my own...
