  • Why Your Christian Activities Are Making You Weaker (Not Stronger)

    Why Your Christian Activities Are Making You Weaker (Not Stronger)
    Nov 2 2025

    Are you running the race, or have you stopped growing? This daily Christian devotional addresses a question every believer needs to ask: “Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?” (Galatians 5:7)

    In this short sermon, we explore why so many Christians become “practical atheists” - doing Christian activities but losing their connection to Jesus. If you’ve felt spiritually stagnant, burned out, or distant from God, this Bible teaching will show you exactly how to restart your spiritual growth.

    🔥 What You’ll Learn:

    ✅ Why spiritual growth is intentional, not automatic

    ✅ The danger of disconnecting from daily time with God

    ✅ How to overcome spiritual burnout and finish the race strong

    ✅ A simple 5-minute daily habit that will transform your faith

    ✅ The truth about practical atheism in the modern church

    This Christian daily devotional is perfect for believers seeking Bible application, sermon insights, and practical faith encouragement. Whether you’ve been a Christian for one year or twenty years, this message will challenge you to evaluate your spiritual journey and reconnect with Jesus in a meaningful way.

    The apostle Paul’s warning to the Galatians applies directly to us today: we can’t run on empty. We need daily connection with Christ to resist temptation, overcome habits, love others, and finish the race. This isn’t about guilt - it’s about power, freedom, and intimacy with God.

    ⏰ CHALLENGE: Before you finish watching, decide on your 5-minute daily time with God. Set an alarm. Protect it. Start today.

    📖 Key Scripture: Galatians 5:7 - “You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?”

    Battle Drill Daily Devotional brings you short, practical Christian teaching from a Salvation Army perspective. Subscribe for daily Bible encouragement, spiritual growth tips, and sermons that apply faith to real life.

  • I Went to Church Every Week. Read My Bible Daily. And I Still Wasn't a Christian.

    I Went to Church Every Week. Read My Bible Daily. And I Still Wasn't a Christian.
    Nov 1 2025
    You go to church. You read your Bible. You pray. You serve. But here’s the uncomfortable question: Are you actually a Christian, or are you just religious?What if everything you think proves your faith actually proves nothing at all? What if there’s only ONE test that reveals whether your faith is real or just religious performance?In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we explore James 2:13’s shocking test of authentic faith: mercy. This short sermon will challenge everything you think about spiritual maturity and Christian living.📖 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: James 2:13 - “There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.”⚡ IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:- Why church attendance, Bible reading, and prayer don’t prove your faith- The ONE test that reveals if your faith is real or just religion- The story of Harriet: 20 years of church, zero mercy- How you can serve for decades and still be spiritually immature- Why an unforgiving Christian is an oxymoron- The difference between looking spiritual and being transformed- One powerful exercise to prove your faith is real tonight💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:You can fake church attendance. You can manufacture religious activity. You can look spiritual on the outside while harbouring unforgiveness on the inside. But you cannot fake forgiveness. It either flows from a heart transformed by God’s grace, or it doesn’t flow at all.James gives us the ultimate test: mercy. How quickly, how easily, how completely you show mercy to others reveals how deeply you’ve received God’s mercy yourself. This is the barometer. This is the measure. This is the test of real faith versus religious activity.🙏 WHO THIS IS FOR:Whether you’re a committed Christian questioning if your faith is authentic, seeking daily Bible encouragement about spiritual authenticity, or a curious seeker wondering what Christianity actually requires, this devotional message is for you. The Salvation Army’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional brings gospel-centered truth that separates religion from relationship.✝️ THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH:- You can serve for 20 years and be spiritually immature- You can attend every church event and be far from God- You can memorise the Bible and miss the Gospel’s heart- You can look spiritual and be spiritually deadBecause the heart of the Gospel is mercy. God showing mercy to us. Us showing mercy to others.🔥 THE ONE TEST:How quickly do you forgive? When your spouse says something thoughtless, do you harbour it for days? When your colleague takes credit, do you plot revenge? When your friend lets you down, do you cut them off? Or do you forgive quickly, easily, completely?That’s the test. That’s the proof. That’s what separates real faith from religious performance.👉 YOUR ACTION STEP TONIGHT:Find a quiet place. Get paper. Write one name - the person you’ve been refusing to forgive. Write underneath: “I choose mercy today.” Tear it up. Bin it. Let it go. Release them. Release yourself.Tomorrow morning, when they come to mind, pray: “God, I choose mercy today. Again.”Because forgiveness isn’t a one-time event. It’s a daily choice. And every time you choose mercy, you prove your faith is real.✝️ ABOUT BATTLE DRILL DAILY DEVOTIONAL:Short, powerful Christian devotionals for busy people seeking daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and authentic faith. As a Salvation Army officer and pastor, I’ve seen too many people substituting religious activity for genuine transformation. This teaching could change everything.🔔 SUBSCRIBE for daily Christian devotionals, sermon teachings on authentic faith, Bible study insights, and encouragement that goes beyond religious performance!💬 COMMENT BELOW: What’s the difference between looking spiritual and actually being transformed by God’s mercy?---#RealFaith #JustReligious #ChristianDevotional #James2 #MercyTest #AuthenticFaith #DailyDevotion #BibleTeaching #ChristianEncouragement #SalvationArmy #SpiritualMaturity #ChristianLiving #ReligiousPerformance #TransformationNotReligion #BiblicalWisdom #GospelTruthRead this week’s devotionals here - https://open.substack.com/pub/battledrilldevotional/p/how-to-forgive-when-you-dont-want?r=643q6o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true This is a public episode.

  • They Moved On. You Built a Wall. Guess Who's Still Suffering?

    They Moved On. You Built a Wall. Guess Who's Still Suffering?
    Oct 31 2025
    They moved on. You built a wall. Now guess who’s still suffering?You built walls around your heart for good reasons - someone hurt you, betrayed you, let you down. “Never again,” you said. But here’s what actually happened: the wall you built for protection became a prison of isolation. Now you’re trapped inside, and they’re living rent-free in your head.In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we explore Jesus’s shocking teaching from Matthew 18:34 about the unforgiving servant who was sent to be tortured. This isn’t a metaphor - it’s exactly what unforgiveness does to us.📖 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: Matthew 18:34 - “Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.”⚡ IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:- When your wall of protection becomes a prison of isolation- How we build walls brick by brick through disappointments- Why unforgiveness creates a torture chamber in your mind- The person who hurt you has moved on - but you’re still carrying them- How walls keep hurt out but also keep love, grace, and healing out- One powerful exercise to tear down your walls tonight💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Unforgiveness doesn’t just hurt others - it destroys you. Brick by brick, disappointment by disappointment, you’ve built a fortress around your heart. Now you’re isolated, exhausted, and lonely. The person who hurt you lives in your head rent-free, tormenting you at 2AM. They don’t even know it. They’ve moved on. But you’re still chained to the past.Jesus is clear: If you refuse to forgive others, God won’t forgive you. If you hold grudges, you’ll be held accountable. Why? Because unforgiveness chains you to your past and poisons every relationship you have. Walls don’t discriminate - they keep everyone out.🙏 WHO THIS IS FOR:Whether you’re a Christian struggling with isolation and bitterness, seeking daily Bible encouragement about healing relationships, or a curious seeker wondering why you feel so alone despite your protective walls, this devotional message is for you. The Salvation Army’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional brings gospel-centered truth with practical, transformative application.✝️ THE WALL PARADOX:- You built it for protection → It became your prison- You thought it would keep pain out → It keeps love out- You wanted safety → You got isolation- They hurt you once → You’re hurting yourself daily🔥 THE BRICK-BY-BRICK PATTERN:Someone disappointed you → built a wall. Someone criticised you → added a brick. Friend let you down → another brick. Boss was unfair → another brick. Now you’re wondering why you feel so trapped and alone. The walls you built to protect yourself are destroying you.👉 YOUR ACTION STEP TONIGHT (5 MINUTES):Get a piece of paper. Write down one name - the person whose unforgiveness has become your prison wall. Write: “I choose freedom. I release you.” Then tear up that paper. Bin it. Symbolically tear down one brick.Will you feel instantly better? Maybe not. Will you do this again tomorrow? Quite possibly. Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event. But every time you choose forgiveness, you’re removing a brick, unlocking a door, creating space for God’s grace to flow again.✝️ ABOUT BATTLE DRILL DAILY DEVOTIONAL:Short, powerful Christian devotionals for busy people seeking daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical faith application. As a Salvation Army officer and pastor, I’ve seen unforgiveness destroy more lives than almost any other sin.

  • I Want Mercy for Me... But Justice for YOU. (Why We All Do This)

    I Want Mercy for Me... But Justice for YOU. (Why We All Do This)
    Oct 30 2025

    “I want mercy for me... but justice for you.” Be honest - you’ve thought this, haven’t you?

    In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we tackle the uncomfortable truth about why we don’t want to forgive, even when God has forgiven us for everything. This short sermon on Matthew 6:14-15 will challenge the double standard we all carry.

    📖 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: Matthew 6:14-15 - “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

    ⚡ IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:

    - Why we want mercy for ourselves but justice for others

    - The disturbing parable Jesus told about unforgiveness (Matthew 18)

    - How unforgiveness creates a torture chamber in your life

    - Why “not ready to forgive” is really “won’t forgive”

    - The bedsore effect: how bitterness destroys everything good

    - One 60-second prayer that could transform your relationships today

    💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    God forgives you, but you won’t forgive them. That’s the deepest barrier to success in every relationship. When it comes to your sin, you want mercy - but when someone hurts you, you want justice. Jesus says this double standard creates a prison where you torture yourself. Unforgiveness gives the person who hurt you rent-free space in your mind, tormenting you at 2AM when you should be sleeping.

    The good news? You can choose to forgive right now. God has forgiven you a debt you could never repay. Whatever wound you’re carrying- however much someone hurt you - it’s nowhere near as much as you’ve hurt God. And he forgave you anyway.

    🙏 WHO THIS IS FOR:

    Whether you’re a Christian struggling to forgive someone who keeps hurting you, seeking daily Bible encouragement about relationships, or a curious seeker dealing with bitterness and resentment, this devotional message is for you. The Salvation Army’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional brings gospel-centered truth with honest, practical application.

    ✝️ THE REAL ISSUE:

    It’s not that you can’t forgive. You won’t forgive. You’re not ready. But unforgiveness is destroying your relationships, your peace, and your sleep. It’s time to choose mercy.

    🔥 THE DOUBLE STANDARD WE ALL HAVE:

    - My sin? I want mercy, understanding, grace, second chances

    - Your sin against me? I want justice, payment, acknowledgment, consequences

    This is the hypocrisy Jesus confronts in Matthew 18. And it’s destroying us.

    👉 YOUR ACTION STEP TODAY (60 SECONDS):

    Find a quiet corner -bedroom, car, even the bathroom. Pray out loud: “Father, you’ve forgiven me for everything. Help me forgive [name the person]. I choose mercy today.”

    That’s it. Sixty seconds. But those sixty seconds could heal your heart, transform your relationships, and set you free from years of bitterness.

    ✝️ ABOUT BATTLE DRILL DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

    Short, powerful Christian devotionals for busy people seeking daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical faith application. As a Salvation Army officer and pastor, I’m committed to bringing you gospel truth that transforms lives - one honest conversation at a time.

  • God Already Knows Your Secrets (And He Still Loves You)

    God Already Knows Your Secrets (And He Still Loves You)
    Oct 29 2025

    Have you been hiding from God? Do you think he sees your failures, your shame, your secrets - and couldn’t possibly still love you? This Christian devotional will change everything you believe about God’s love and acceptance.

    In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we explore the powerful truth of the Prodigal Son parable and discover that God sees EVERYTHING about us - and still runs towards us with open arms. You’re not too broken. You’re not too far gone. You’re not disqualified from God’s love.

    📖 SCRIPTURE: Luke 15:22-24 (The Prodigal Son)

    🎯 IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:

    ✅ Why we hide from God (and why we don’t have to)

    ✅ What God really sees when he looks at you

    ✅ The scandalous truth about God’s unconditional love

    ✅ Why shame keeps you from experiencing God’s grace

    ✅ A simple 60-second prayer to stop hiding and come home

    This isn’t just Bible teaching - it’s a lifeline for anyone who feels like they’ve gone too far, done too much, or hidden too long from God. Whether you’re a Christian struggling with guilt and shame, or someone curious about faith and wondering if God could really accept you, this message is for you.

    ⏱️ PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

    Take 60 seconds today to pray: “Father, I know you see all of me - the good and the bad. Thank you for not running away. Thank you for Jesus. Help me stop hiding from you.”

    🔥 KEY TAKEAWAY: God already knows your worst moments, your deepest secrets, your hidden shame - and he’s not disgusted. He’s desperate for you. He sees you completely and loves you unconditionally.

    📢 SALVATION ARMY PERSPECTIVE:

    As a Salvation Army officer, I’ve seen countless people transformed when they discover God’s radical grace. No matter what you’ve done, no matter how far you’ve gone, God is waiting to welcome you home - just like the father in Jesus’s parable.
