Daily Devotion: Galatians 1:6 & 10

By

Galatians 1:6    "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel"

Galatians 1:10   "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."

Who called you into the grace of Christ? Jesus gave Himself for our sins "according to the will of the Father." Isaiah prophesied seven hundred years prior to the event, "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin..." (Isaiah 53:10) It was the will of the Father according to His pleasure to make His Son to be the offering for your sin and mine. 

It was His will, His pleasure, His accomplishment, and His calling to bring us to the knowledge of the work of Christ on the cross. It was by His grace and mercy. So why would anyone want to move away from that liberty once it has been revealed? The entire book of Galatians will present the truth as to why we are to cling to the truth of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.  Let us prayerfully and sincerely seek the blessings of our Lord that we will understand and not be moved away from the Grace of Christ.

Daily Devotion: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

By
One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five.

Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top!  It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions.  Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...

Daily Devotion: An Important Question

By
In one of the great Psalms of thanksgiving, the writer asked a most pertinent question. “What shall I render unto the Lord for all of His benefits toward me” (Psalm 116:12) ? We may observe two elements in this question. The psalmist acknowledges having received many benefits, or blessings, at the hand of the Lord. For the believer, to be the receiver of blessings from the Lord is a fact beyond question. That is one facet of a proper perception of reality. However, for the unbeliever, or even for the nominal believer, such things come in the course of nature, or as a matter of deserving them. But to fail to see that such benefits and blessings come from the Lord is to lose touch with reality. The other element of the question is that the writer expresses a sense of obligation to the Lord and reveals a desire to do something in response to the amazing goodness of God to him. It is the reflex of the godly heart to desire to do something in response to the perceived go...
