  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - September 28th - James 4:2-3
    James 4:2-3
    You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
    Dream for a moment. If you could have anything in the world, what would you choose? A beautiful large home; a yacht; a luxurious holiday; perfect health; world peace? Read on its own, James 4:2 suggests that we just need to ask God and we will get it, but verse 3 makes it clear that we need to ask with the right motive. That means God loves us so much that He doesn’t necessarily give us what we say we want.
    Imagine for a moment that we did get whatever our selfish desires demanded. Everything would happen in exactly the way we wanted, and at precisely the time that we demanded it. For a brief moment, it sounds like the perfect world. We would be in absolute control. However, the Bible has a technical word to describe such a place – it’s called hell. It’s the place where God is not. Our selfish desires have pushed Him out. What James is telling us is that God, our gracious loving Father, has a better plan.
    The conclusion is that we need to ask, and keep asking, but ensure that we are asking for the right things in the right way. We need to tune our thinking into God’s thinking so that all we ask for will be a blessing.
    Question
    What are you asking God for today?
    Prayer
    Lord God our Father, I worship You because You love me perfectly and delight to give me the best gifts. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - God's Grace, Evangelism and Godly Living

    What can I do if I never feel like I measure up? If I feel like I'm always failing? How can the message of God's grace help me? What role do the 10 Commandments play in my life? What are your thoughts on evangelism? I often get discouraged when people shun me because of my faith. What is Peter referring to when he says a dog returns to its own vomit and a pig to the mud? Is that about loss of salvation? How does God treat us in the midst of a struggle with lust? Now I can't help but share the truth of God's grace! I'm excited!

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - September 27th - James 3:17-18
    James 3:17-18
    The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
    Many churches observe that they have very few people in their 20s and 30s. Whenever I’ve asked people in that age group what they are looking for, one theme dominates: authenticity. They are looking for Christians and churches which ring true because they practise what they preach. James was on exactly the same page and was ruthless in addressing those who say the right words but live a phoney life. What he longed for was truly wise people.
    Living wisely is attractive in every way. The wisdom comes directly from God, but it has very down-to-earth implications. James draws particular attention to the fact that wise people love peace and go out of their way to make it.
    The word for peace that James uses here is built on the Hebrew word shalom. Shalom means peace, but much more than merely an absence of conflict and tension. It means the presence of God who brings life and renewal to every part of our lives. He wants us to know His peace in our families, our work, our leisure, our churches and our communities – everywhere. And when God fills us with His peace, He commissions us to be peacemakers, which will result in an amazing harvest of righteousness – everything that is best. Who wouldn’t want that?
    Question
    In what situation could you be a peacemaker today?
    Prayer
    Loving God, You are the source of all true peace. Give me a longing to be a peacemaker today and the wisdom and strength to be nothing less. Amen
