Obeying the Gospel
The Church in Splendor (November 15)
“Beholding the glory of the Lord, [we] are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Christ is the key to the church’s splendor, now and in eternity. The bride’s beauty is that of her Bridegroom.
Diligently Seeking God
Verity (November 15)
Whatever is false and illusory will eventually be seen as such, and whatever is true will still be standing when everything else has vanished. In the meantime, we need to be making progress toward truth at every opportunity.
Reaching Forward
The Way Is Not Easy (November 15)
We shouldn’t expect life as a Christian — at least in this world, marred as it is by the intrusion of sin — to be anything other than difficult. There will be some pleasant days now and then, but we should guard against unrealistic expectations.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Duty (November 15)
When people know we can be trusted to do our duty, no matter what, their relationship with us is surrounded and supported by trust. Not needing to wonder what we might do (or not do), our family and friends can relax in their relationship with us.
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 347 – Our confidence in the gospel rests on a solid foundation
Our confidence in our salvation rests upon our certainty that apostles’ testimony is true. So it is important for us to be sure that what Christ originally taught is true and that the apostles’ written records are reliable and trustworthy.
