Bible Reading 2 Corinthians 4 Devotional Thoughts I don’t think I noticed that these 2 verses were in the same passage before. 2 Cor 4:8-9 “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair, persecuted by not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed.” 2 Cor 4:17 “For this light […]

Bible Reading Exodus 15Luke 182 Corinthians 3 Devotional Thoughts If your life were a letter of recommendation, to those who witness your life, what would it say? Would it communicate that you were sent from Christ? Would it have the earmarks of Christ? The language, the vocabulary, the content, would it show without question who […]

Bible Reading 2 Corinthians 1 Devotional Thoughts I am not sure I ever noticed before that these 2 concepts were in the same passage. Paul first of all describes God as “the God of all comfort.” The purpose of God’s comfort of us is so that we can comfort others (2 Cor 1:3). Our affliction […]

Bible Reading Luke 142 Corinthians 15 Devotional Thoughts In our orientation classes we have talked quite a bit about the characteristics that make good team players.

Bible Reading Exodus 9Luke 12Job 26 Devotional Thoughts The Lord is continuing the theme of treasure as I read His Word. Luke 12 is Luke’s version of what Matthew said in Matthew 6:21 “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” The way Luke says it made me see it a little different […]

Salvation of tribal people, churches planted… Jesus told his disciples, “I am giving you authority to perform the works of God. You will be […]

Bible Reading Job 23Luke 91 Corinthians 10 Devotional Thoughts We have been talking about the treasure of our hearts the last couple days. A week or so back we also talked about the place trials and suffering plays in our lives from 1 Peter 1 and 4. As I read Job 23, I thought it […]

Bible Reading Luke 81 Corinthians 9 Devotional Thoughts This morning’s reading includes Jesus’ parable of the sower and the seeds. We all know the parable and Jesus explanation. The seed is the word of God. (Luke 8:11) The soil is the heart of man. Some hearts produce abundant fruit, and some, the fruit is choked […]

Bible Reading Luke 7 Devotional Thoughts This week the theme God seems to being speaking to me about is treasure. In my post “I need some peace and quiet,” we looked at Jesus’ treasure and how he didn’t allow anything to get in the way of his time alone with His Father. In “How the […]

Bible Reading Exodus 3Luke 6 Devotional Thoughts What is in your heart? Matt 6:21 Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The things that we treasure will capture our hearts! As Paul Tripp says, “Whatever controls your heart will control your behavior.” I think that’s what Jesus is saying in […]
