Daily Devotion: Two Things To Take Us To Heaven by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Revelation 19:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready."
- Revelation 19:7 KJV

We need two things to take us to heaven; a title to it, and a fitness for it. Our only title to heaven is the blood and righteousness of the Son of God—that blood which "cleanses from all sin," and that righteousness which "justifies us from all things from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses." Nothing unclean or defiled can enter heaven. This is God's own testimony—"And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." (Rev. 21:27 KJV).

Daily Devotion: Philip leads Nathanael to Christ by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: John 1:43-51 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
- John 1:45 KJV

It is very interesting to know how holy men were brought to the knowledge of Christ. In this passage we have an account of the means by which Philip and Nathanael were first led to their Savior. Jesus himself found Philip, and said, "Follow me." Have we heard the voice of Jesus thus speaking to our hearts? He does thus call to us from heaven. May we have grace to reply, "Lord, I will follow you." When David heard the Lord say, "Seek my face," he replied, "Your face, Lord, will I seek." (Ps. 27.)

Daily Devotion: Fear Not by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 6:10-17 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."
- 2 Kings 6:16 KJV

It is not enough just to put on a bold face and compel ourselves to be brave or appear brave. It will not do merely to try to make ourselves think there is no danger—when we know very well that there is danger. We cannot play tricks on ourselves. The true secret of confidence and fearlessness in danger—is faith in the divine keeping, not in thinking there is no peril. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 KJV

Daily Devotion: The Most Relevant Verse In The Bible by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Genesis 3:14-21 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
- Genesis 3:15 KJV

The KJV Bible is renowned for its rich language and theological depth, and possibly the most relevant verse in the entire text is found in Genesis 3:15. This verse often referred to as the "Protevangelium" or "Protoevangelium," carries profound significance for Christians as it sets the stage for the entire biblical narrative. It is the first prophecy in the Bible.

Daily Devotion: The Foundational Importance of Genesis by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
- Genesis 1:1 KJV

Genesis may well be the most important book in the Bible. It is foundational to all matters discussed in the remainder of the Bible. In Genesis we learn about God, creation, science, man's purpose, marriage, family, Satan's plan, the original sin and why we need a Savior. To fully understand the other 65 books of the Bible, one needs be immersed in the fundamental concepts of Genesis. Below are a few of the important concepts:

Daily Devotion: Needful Grace by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 33:22-29 KJV

Key Verse:  "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be."
- Deuteronomy 33:25 KJV

God does not give grace — until the hour of trial comes. But when it does come — the amount of grace, and the nature of the special grace required, is granted. My soul! do not dwell with painful apprehension on the future. Do not anticipate coming sorrows; perplexing yourself with the grace needed for future emergencies; tomorrow will bring its promised grace — along with tomorrow's trials.

Daily Devotion: Fear and Other Passions by James Meikle

Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:17-24 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king."
- 1 Peter 2:17 KJV

Four things I should fear—God, myself, temptation, and sin. I should fear God, for his greatness; self, for its infirmity; temptation, for its danger; and sin for its defilement. I should fear God with love; myself with caution; sin with hatred; and temptation with resolution. The fear of God will take away the fear of man; the fear of self will moderate the love of self; the fear of sin will make watchful against sin; and the fear of temptation will be an antidote against temptation. My fear of God should be constant with cheerfulness; of self, constant with trembling; of sin, constant with watchfulness; and of temptation, constant with vigilance. The first is my attainment; the second is my duty; the third is my wisdom; and the fourth is my prudence.
