Daily Devotion: He Shall Bring It To Pass by J.C. Philpot


Bible Reading: Psalm 37:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
- Psalm 37:5 KJV

What shall God bring to pass? The thing that lies deepest in the heart--"your way." Does not 'your way' lie deepest in your soul--the path that God has led, the path that God is now leading you by? You may be troubled in your soul, doubting and fearing in your mind, distressed in your feelings; you may sink down to the lowest point that a child of God can sink to; yet that way, in which you are so deeply sunk, if the Lord enables you from time to time to commit it to him, and trust in him, he will bring to pass above what your heart desires.

Daily Devotion: Christ Forbids Covetousness And Double-Mindedness by Favell Lee Mortimer


Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-23 KJV

Key Verse:  "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
- Matthew 6:21 KJV

Our Savior had exposed the apparently good actions of the Pharisees, as their prayers, fastings, almsgivings. He now reproves their wicked practices. The first thing he attacks is their covetousness,—their delight in laying up earthly treasures. In those days riches consisted partly in valuable clothes, and therefore He speaks of moth and rust corrupting.

Daily Devotion: I Have Finished The Work by J. R. Miller


Bible Reading: John 17:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
John 17:4 KJV

Jesus is the only man who has ever lived—so as to be able to say this! The best lives are but fragments, leaving many things unfinished. Yet we ought to take a lesson from Christ's finishing of His work. He did it, simply by doing each day—the will of His Father for the day.

The Abiding Comforter The Abiding Comforter by John MacDuff


Bible Reading: John 14:12-19 KJV

Key Verse:  "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"
John 14:16 KJV

When one beloved earthly friend is taken away — how the heart is drawn out towards those that remain! Jesus was now about to leave His sorrowing disciples. He directs them to one whose presence would fill up the vast blank which His own absence was to make. His name was, The Comforter; His mission was, "to abide with them forever." Accordingly, no sooner had the gates of Heaven closed on their ascended Lord, than, in fulfillment of His own gracious promise, the bereaved and orphaned Church was baptized with Pentecostal fire. "When I depart — I will send Him to you."

Daily Devotion: We Should Sleep No Longer Than To Refresh The Body by James Meikle


Bible Reading: Proverbs 20:9-16 KJV

Key Verse:  "Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread."
- Proverbs 20:13 KJV

Long sleep in any man is blame-worthy—but in a candidate for glory it is a sinful. I may indeed rise in time to manage my temporal affairs, as I am seldom behind with the world; but what improvement do I make for eternal realities? "He who loves sleep," though in worldly things he may sustain no loss, yet in spiritual things "shall be a poor man." When I have a long journey to go, I can get up early in the morning. Now, I am on a more momentous, and immensely longer journey, even to eternity, which cannot be delayed a day; therefore, I have need to use my time wisely—before the shadows of darkness overspreads me, wherein no man can walk; or the night of death overtakes me, wherein no man can work.

Daily Devotion: Commitment to a Holy Life by Wil Pounds


Bible Reading: 1 Peter 1:9-16 KJV

Key Verse:  "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
- 1 Peter 1:16 KJV

Obedience. It is a dirty word in our day. We are all like little children; no one wants to obey anyone else. The words “obedience” and “submission” are a constant reminder of our indwelling sin. But whether we like them or not, they get to the heart of our problem of living a holy life.

Bible Reading: Matthew 12:23-30 KJV

Key Verse:  "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."
- Matthew 12:30 KJV

In our Key Verse, Matthew 12:30, Jesus teaches the importance of alignment with Him and the consequences of deviation from His teachings. A cult, in a Christian context, is a religious group that denies one or more of the Fundamentals of the Faith, such as the deity of Christ and salvation by faith in Christ alone.
