Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Restoration as an Ongoing Work (October 15)
Both individually and congregationally, restoration requires constant vigilance. We must reassess and return. Reassess and return. If our forebears did this, we are blessed to have their example. But like them, we need to REASSESS AND RETURN.
Diligently Seeking God
Logos (October 15)
From the beginning, God has spoken to the human race using actual words that can be understood rationally. This is remarkable when we stop to think about it, but it is nevertheless true that God has used human language to convey His will to us.
Reaching Forward
What Our Creator Has in Mind (October 15)
The crucial question is never “What have I done?” but “What does God have in mind for me in the future?” And more important, “Am I cooperating with what He has in mind for me?” That way of thinking about things can make all the difference.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Resolve (October 15)
Our failure is often due to a lack of resolve rather than a shortage of luck or good fortune. It isn’t circumstances that hold us back, nor the difficulty of the goal. Usually, it’s our unwillingness to back up our decisions with intense purpose.
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 342 – We ought to pursue the things that make for true happiness
In the final analysis, what really are the components of genuine happiness? If we’re serious about answering that question, the account in Genesis 2 of Adam and Eve’s happiness in the Garden of Eden will be of more than passing interest to us.
