Obeying the Gospel
Turning from the Power of Satan to God (November 6)
No moderate remedy will do. In sin, we took our hearts away from our God, so we must give them back to Him. For after all, there are only two alternatives, only two possible “fathers” waiting for us in eternity. We must choose between them.
Diligently Seeking God
Choosing to Live (November 6)
Although there is some difficulty in choosing the life that God offers, it is no difficulty at all compared to what is encountered on the path to death. And choosing life over death is also easier than living in the limbo of not deciding.
Reaching Forward
Godly Joy (November 6)
Without the focus that Jesus had on the Father’s glory, our joy tends to degenerate. It becomes the product of indulging our selfish desires, with little or no regard for whether that indulgence helps or hinders the outworking of God’s purposes.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Solitude (November 6)
Rightly considered, solitude is not a bad thing. It is in solitude that we have the opportunity to ponder the world we live in, meditate on our principles, and adjust our lives so that they benefit from a better alignment with our principles.
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 345 – Prayer is something we should constantly strive to learn more about
We need to make the effort throughout life to grow deeper in the knowledge of what prayer should be. Indeed, there is more to learn about communicating with God than we could learn in a long lifetime. The challenge is to keep learning and growing.
