Daily Devotion: Luke 2:11-12 - Christmas

By

Luke 2:11-12    "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." 

Is today the day that Jesus was born? No one really knows. But for each of us who believes that our Savior is Christ the Lord, there was a time in our lives when that became a living reality. That was the day we knew that we have a Savior!

Prior to knowing we have a Savior was the revelation that we need saving. Do you remember that great conviction that you are a sinner? Do you remember the joy that flooded your soul when God revealed to you your Savior? Unto you is born a Savior.

Dear ones, as you gather with friends and family today, may you be filled with the joy of your Savior. And tomorrow when you rise from your bed, may you rejoice that you have a Savior. And on the 25th of July, may you celebrate the love and joy of your Savior. May we, as those who are saved, give honor and glory to Him that has saved us…every day.

Leah and I send you our love and prayers during this Christmas season. May you indeed have a Blessed Christmas and a New Year to serve Him with love!

Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. 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...
