Daybreak Devotions

Ok, we are begging your forgiveness and patience, an unplanned Friday Funday just took over! But, we did eventually get back to our study. In this part we discuss knowing what the right sort of belief looks like. There is a belief that is real but does not save. We want the kind of belief in God, through Jesus Christ, that is real and really saves us!

Does the suggestion that you might believe more in your belief than you believe in God bother you? What is the belief that saves? We know there is a belief which even the devils have, and that it is a genuine belief (James 2:19), so what sets apart the belief of the true child of God?

This is a relevant and necessary question to consider. Why? The Bible presents us with the challenge. The psalms are filled with calls for the people of God to live God-centered lives with a Divine perspective on everything. We are to live with our minds and mouths full of God's words, works, and wonders. Yet, consider the conversations you hear at church on any given Sunday, in the foyer, in the pews, is it God-centered? If not, why? We want to explore the possibility that the reason we are not living this way is because many have more belief in their beliefs than they have belief in God Himself.

In this reair from an August edition of Daybreak Devotions, we ask the question, could thoughts about God really be considered prayer? If so, then we need to consider how to turn our thoughts to God as often as we can so that we can be true to Jesus' instruction to "pray always" (Luke 21:36).

In this reair from an August edition of Daybreak Devotions, Pastors Mike and Corey discuss what is the most important thing we can do today? Arguably, the answer is "Pray." Arguably because of course to love is the fulfilling of the law, but to love God and to love others well we need a genuine and dynamic life of prayer. How then can we become more prayerful people? How can we learn to pray without ceasing? We must learn how our very thoughts of God are prayers offered.

A life lived without fear - sounds great, but is it possible? Only through following Jesus' prescription of replacing fear with...love?

To be a recipient of God's love is not enough. One who has received such love has the responsibility to act in love. But what is it exactly we are supposed to do, and how do we go about doing it?

This topic sort of took over our broadcast, "What if you could only have three chapters of the Bible for the rest of your life, which would you choose?" An impossible question for sure, but it is a great spiritual exercise that everyone should try.

As we watch the leaves turn to those deep colors and begin to fall, we see the beauty of the loss, but it is harder to apply that to our own soul. There are lessons in the fall, lessons in watching the trees turn loose of their leaves. It has to do with survival and ultimate renewal. There is no putting on the new without first putting off the old!

In this first of a two part discussion, we talk about the divinely interposed lessons that the changing of the seasons bring to us. Every season brings change, but we especially notice it during Spring and Fall. One seems to be leading into renewed life and hope, the other into loss and even the death of winter. But we are learning that there is no putting on the new without first putting off the old!
