    If you are “in Christ” his Spirit is in you
    Jul 16 2025
    "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)In the previous devotional we talked about how Jesus' righteousness, faithfulness and perfection gets credited to us. When his people stand before their Maker, God he sees not their sin (because Jesus has paid … Continue reading If you are “in Christ” his Spirit is in you

    Very very good news: The verdict before the performance
    Jul 15 2025
    The Bible verse I'm about to share is not one people tend to memorize, but it stands at the heart of what we call the gospel, a word that simply means "good news."It's found in 2 Corinthians 5:21: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we … Continue reading Very very good news: The verdict before the performance

  • The trivialization of God

    The trivialization of God
    Jul 14 2025
    Donald McCullough has a book called “The Trivialization of God.”* You should never judge a book by its cover, of course, but the cover is particularly good. It shows a yellow pin-on button that says “God.”It’s the kind of button you might get at a political rally, or perhaps with the name or logo of … Continue reading The trivialization of God

  • Let your yes be yes and your no be no

    Let your yes be yes and your no be no
    Jul 10 2025
    In yesterday’s devotional we talked about the importance of being honest with your words. Makes sense, right? After all, God is a God of truth. Jesus comes to us “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). God’s “word is truth” (John 17:17). If we want to be his disciples, reflecting his truth needs to be a … Continue reading Let your yes be yes and your no be no

    Standing up for the truth of God
    Jul 9 2025
    Honesty is important. But when push comes to shove it’s easy to let a lie slip when it will make things easier for us or when it covers up a mistake we’ve made.It was Mark Twain who said: “A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.” … Continue reading Standing up for the truth of God

  • What if we stopped chasing?

    What if we stopped chasing?
    Jul 7 2025
    Gregory was a church father from the sixth century. He said: “You can tell how much you love something by the degree of sorrow you experience when you lose it.”*I think that’s a helpful piece of perspective. If I buy a new expensive watch, and if I am so utterly devastated when I lose it … Continue reading What if we stopped chasing?
