It’s not homework, its your one on one time with God!
Doing a devotional is your personal one on one time with God. You don’t need to read and meditate on other peoples words to have a true personal devotional with God. Whatever form your devotional looks like, just make sure that you make it personal. Just you and God, one on one!
CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS A MUST! If you’re a Christian you need to spend time fellowshipping with other believers about your common faith. I believe most Christians know this to be true, and really want to do this. But in reality, we’re not fellowshipping as often as we should be. We’re not fellowshipping at home like God wants us to, and we definitely are not fellowshipping with our brothers and sisters in Christ like we should be. I’m not trying to…
But the Lord said, “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?” JONAH 4:10-11 We can learn a lot from Jonah. We can relate to him more than…
Over the years marriage has changed, but I am not going to talk about those changes. Instead, lets talk about the biblical principles of marriage, because those have not changed. This year, my husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were young in our faith when we got married, but we promised each other that we would keep God in the center of our marriage. As with anything in life, the longer you are apart of something…
I always use verses to relate everything I talk about back to scripture, back to God and His word. But this time I can not. I can’t because I have not been in His word myself.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.James 5:16 Do you have a hard time asking people to pray? Me, not so much. I often ask for prayer when I am going through a tough situation, or something important is about to happen, for me or my family. How often do you admit that you have a sin you are struggling with?…
“So often I want to spend some one on one time with God but I don’t know how to. This morning I sat in front of my computer, bible next to me…”
Revelation, we need to read it! Many Christians are afraid to read the book of Revelation. We should not be afraid to read this prophecy. God gives us scripture for a reason, and if we reference II Timothy 3:16 we can see what that reason is. God didn’t give us 65 books of the bible, He gave us 66. That 66th book was given to us for the same reason as the others. We don’t need to be afraid of…
How to submit to God, and what does it mean? As a Christian you probably have heard many times that you need to submit to God. You may or may not already know what this means or think that you know what it means. But, let me ask you this. Do you know how to submit to God? Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you – James 1:7 MY STORY I lack self-confidence, and…
We are going to turn to scripture to see what God has to say about temptation. I Corinthians 10:13 will tell us the role God plays.
