There is a disconcerting trend among Christians who are accepting a works-based version of the gospel. There is no other gospel! We are saved by grace alone, through faith, by Christ alone. Don't desert this glorious gospel!

As we begin a new week, it's easy to rely on our gifts, abilities, bank accounts, etc. to lead us to success. These things are useful, but if that's all we have, we're in trouble. We need the Lord!

In recent weeks, our church has experienced the passing away of several long-term, faithful church members. In today's devotionable, Pastor Blake points us to 1 Peter 2:5 to help us find reassurance in the future of the church even as we mourn our present loss.

Solomon completes the construction of the temple, and then God shows up–bringing heaven to earth. When heaven meets earth, God's people enjoy God's presence, give thanks for God's faithfulness, and engage in God's mission.

Devotionables #39 - 1 Kings 8

In a world that throws a myriad of competing voices at us enticing us to doubt God and his Word, we need to be resolute in our commitment to reading the Scriptures. God will use the Word to sanctify us and help us recognize the Shepherd's voice.

John 18:37-38

Light reveals things and dispels darkness. God is our light; therefore, we will not fear.

The way you tell a story can emphasize the purpose of your story. The Apostle John starts his story about the life of Jesus from the beginning...the beginning of time. Jesus was there; he created all things–including time! The beginning of John’s gospel wastes no time focusing on Jesus’ divinity. John wants us to know and believe that Jesus is God!

Devotionables #36 - John 1:1-3, 14

Life is mysterious and hard. Ecclesiastes helps us avoid the pitfalls of living only for this life OR living only for the life to come in a monk-like fashion. The Preacher says we should live in the fear of the Lord and keep his commandments trusting him with our lives and the life to come.

A redeemed people are a singing people. Why do God's people sing?

Work is not part of the curse but creation. Work is a gift and it is good. What's good about it?
