Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
From God, for Our Profit (June 7)
God has reached across the gap and reintroduced mankind to the truth about Himself. So the record in the Scriptures of this revelation is extremely profitable to us: “for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
Diligently Seeking God
Materialism (June 7)
When we allow our lives to be driven by materialism, it must be admitted that we lead very hollow lives. Whether we face the fact or not, our hearts were made to experience much more than anything the material world can provide.
Reaching Forward
If Not Hope, Then Defiance (June 7)
The devil can be resisted, and we surely need to do that more often, don’t we? When we’ve been discouraged by the apparent hopelessness of our situation, we need to stiffen our resolve and do what is right, if not out of hope then out of defiance.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Victory (June 7)
Perhaps you’ve heard someone of strong character described as having an indomitable spirit. Isn’t that what we want? We want to have minds and hearts that are so fixed on our principles and ideals that we can’t be beaten by any foe that bars our way.
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 324 – To be baptized into Christ is to enjoy a ‘newness of life’
We can be thankful that, as those who have obeyed the gospel and received the forgiveness of our sins, “all things have become new” for us. We are living a “new” life, one that was made possible by Christ’s death and resurrection to life everlasting.
