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!

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...
