Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Where the Righteousness of God Is Revealed (March 14)
It is in the gospel that God has revealed His plan. The righteousness He is willing to provide is based on faith in His Son. We might have preferred some other way, but God’s plan is what it is — and it is in the gospel that He makes it known.
Diligently Seeking God
Anomie (March 14)
From the Greek for “lawlessness,” “anomie” has come into popular usage as a description of the “alienation” felt by individuals when they sense that the structures of society are collapsing. It’s that sickening feeling that the world is coming apart.
Reaching Forward
Your Wreckage Can Be Repaired! (March 14)
Sometimes we are defeated by discouragement. But the great hope of the gospel is that, while life lasts, none of us is a lost cause. Our defeats need not be final. Our failures need not be fatal. Real change for the better is always possible.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Life (March 14)
We must appreciate life, certainly, but we must also use it. It is to be employed as well as enjoyed. The best way to use this gift is by defending and enhancing the lives of others, helping them achieve a greater quality of life in all its dimensions.
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 312 – God’s love for us demonstrated at the cross moves us to love Him
“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.”
