Is devotion to God your primary passion in life? Our daily devotionals and Bible studies are designed to help you pursue this important spiritual goal. More than mere fluff, our books are "devotional books with a difference." If you're ready to grow, we're here to support you.
The WordPoints Daybook Series provides daily devotional meditations, while our growing collection of Bible study tools will give you guidance in exploring the Scriptures. The WordPoints blog and podcast will challenge your thinking on a variety of religious topics.
I sincerely hope you'll join me on this journey! As you use the WordPoints website, feel free to share your insights or questions with me. I'd love to help you in your Christian daily devotion. -- Gary Henry ([email protected])
Jesus asked some of his followers, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?" True seekers are not content until their knowledge has moved them to godly action. What is learned in the library must be lived in the neighborhood.
We must reckon realistically with the fact that the day of our death is coming. Too often, it just doesn't seem real to us. "So teach us to number our days," Moses prayed, "that we may gain a heart of wisdom." May our own death be real to us . . . right now.
Steadfastness is one of the supreme aspects of the good life -- none of us can claim to have "arrived" until we've learned it. And yes, it is hard. To keep on keeping on, when everybody else is quitting, is not easy. But in the end, the quitter's life is even harder.
The plan God has devised to save us is for the purpose of renewing us in His own image, as well as rescuing us from our punishment. As Christians, we are involved in the process of being transformed "from one degree of glory to another" (2 Cor. 3:18).
We do not think about the death of Christ as much as we should -- or emphasize it adequately in our preaching. But truly, the cross is the heart of the gospel. The gospel of Christ is nothing less than the "word of the cross" (1 Cor. 1:17,18).
The 2016 election confronted me with the most agonizing electoral decision I have ever faced. I had conscientious objections to both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The objections were different in each case, but they were deeply felt and extremely important to me.
