1 Peter 2 Christ: The Living Stone “Coming to [Christ] as to a living stone” (1 Pet. 2:4). Jesus is the only source of eternal life and the foundation upon which the church is built. Peter’s description of Christ as “a living stone” is paradoxical because stones aren’t alive. In fact, we sometimes speak of something … More Devotional Thought for Today – 07/03/2021
Revelation 3 CONTEXT: Part of the message to the Seven (7) churches in Asia Minor, here in this chapter we have the final three churches Sardis (v.1-6), Philadelphia (v.7-13), and Laodicea (v.14-22). Of the seven churches, both Smyrna and Philadelphia receive no rebuke from Jesus. Laodicea however is the only church to receive no positive … More Devotional Thought for Today – 01 July 2021
Ephesians 3 CONTEXT: 1 The first three chapters of Ephesians are doctrinal, the last three are practical. Chapter 3 begins the transition from a Christian understanding of salvation, grace, and the power of Christ into a practical guide for Christian living. To make the transition, in this chapter, Paul refers to his own calling by … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/30/2021
Psalm 138 CONTEXT: Most modern Bibles have some heading that gives us a theme for this Psalm. All agree it is a Psalm of David and most have a heading something like “A Grateful Heart”. Spurgeon’s general comments as follows: In full confidence, David is prepared to own his God before the gods of the … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/29/2021
Exodus 20:5 CONTEXT: It should be obvious even to the non-believer that Exodus Chapter 20 is all about the Mosaic Law, the Ten Commandments. Our text for today deals explicitly with the commandment against Idolatry. While he making of a image and worshipping it in place of God is a clear violation of this command … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/25/2021
John 14:6; 17:17 With truth being so subjective today in the mainstream I thought it appropriate to look at what truth really is, or at least should be for true Christians and non-believers alike. I have posted much on these verses (see below) in the past so today I offer an excellent article from Pastor … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/24/2021
Romans 8 CONTEXT: Some have called this the greatest chapter in the Bible. It is hard to argue considering the opening verse. Paul sets up this after having spent all of Chapter 7 reminding everyone of his personal issues with sin and the law. Then he drops the promise of promises on all true believers … More DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT FOR TODAY – 06/22/2021
1 Timothy 4 CONTEXT: This chapter can be divided into three sections (v.1-5) deals with apostasy teachings entering into the church at Ephesus, (v.6-10) Paul’s instruction to Timothy on dealing with these false teachers (v.11-16) Paul’s encouragement to Timothy to persevere in the ministry. Our main text is the key (my opinion) verse in the … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/21/2021
John 3:16-18 You have heard me say (or seen me write here) many times my old Army saying that the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters. The Bible confirms this in Romans 1:20. Today especially with the advent of all the online resources mankind (for the most part) really has no excuse … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/19/2021
For those of us old enough to remember Julie Andrews singing My Favorite Things in the Sound of Music both the song and the thought of all those things brought a smile to our faces (still does 😉) Everyone has things they like and dislike, some of our likes become favorites. When we are talking … More Devotional Thought for Today – 06/18/2021
