Daily Devotion: November 27,2019

Psalm 136:1    "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

Truly, our God is good and His mercies are new to us each morning. I walked outside. The air is clear and crisp. The sun is shining. Even in the cool of the morning, the sun is warming. Isn't that how our God's love affect us? Even in the midst of a world that is filled with hatred, anger, jealousy, and many other emotions that are detrimental to us, God's love shines down upon us. He applies that love to our hearts and we are warmed and secure in Him.
Thank you Heavenly Father! Truly God is good and His mercy endures forever.

Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Knowing God By Bearing Fruit

By
Some will notice the title is not “Bearing fruit because we know God,” so to avoid getting sidetracked with that, we can start with the fact that we won’t bear any godly fruit unless our heart has been changed and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Also, to avoid confusion, I’ll be using the terms “bearing fruit,” “good works” and “service” interchangeably.  I took this article’s title from Part 7, of John Piper’s “Look at the Book” session on Colossians 1:9-12. I greatly encourage you to view that short video to get his excellent exposition on this subject.  When I saw the title of the video earlier this year, I got kind of excited because that’s the direction my thinking has gone in the past several years. My thinking was founded Biblically with verses on good works like Matthew 5:16 – “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father, who is in heaven.” But I couldn’t expand it to expla...
