Obeying the Gospel
The Samaritan Syndrome (November 10)
Jesus calls us to make a radical choice. The choice Israel needed to make was a prefiguring of the greater choice that confronts us today. The very worst decision we can make is to try to have every possibility at once. We cannot serve two masters.
Diligently Seeking God
Offerings (November 10)
We often seek God’s favor by offering Him nothing more than the outward actions of worship. But what God is more interested in is our hearts, and if our hearts are not truly given to Him in godly sorrow, then nothing else will be acceptable.
Reaching Forward
Learning to Be Glad When God Is Glad (November 10)
Progress never comes except at a price, and it must occasionally be true that we have to bear a part of the price personally. At such times, we should be glad the event represents a gain for God’s cause and His kingdom, in the larger perspective.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Poise (November 10)
We can never be sure how long anything around us is going to stay the same. In this kind of environment, nearly every day generates some new crisis that threatens to throw us off-balance. Do we have enough poise to survive life as it now is?
Challenging Every Person to Take God More Seriously
Is devotion to God your primary passion? Our daily devotionals and Bible studies are designed to help you pursue this goal. More than mere fluff, our readings are “devotionals with a difference.” If you’re ready to reach toward spiritual growth, we’re here to support you.
Devotional Meditation
Rather than thinking about God casually, meditation is a deep pondering of His truth. When we meditate devotionally, the facts about God are given more than a "passing glance." We think about them intently and lovingly so their meaning can truly sink in.
Daily Devotional Books
Unfortunately, many of the best-selling devotionals are popular not because they produce greater devotion to God but because they give the reader a sugary "high." They aim to make the reader feel better, but they do little to stimulate significant spiritual growth.
Devotion to God
Devotional strength must be built up by constant, disciplined practice over time. Paul reminded his young friend Timothy of this when he said, "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all" (1 Timothy 4:15).
Themes for Families to Talk About
DFBS 346 – Like Noah, we ought to have an obedient trust in God
In areas where we may not understand the rationale for what God commands, let’s trust that God knows what He is doing. Because we have faith that God is wise and that He will never lead us astray, let’s obey whatever God’s will is.
