Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
The Way of God More Accurately (March 21)
Fervent and faithful, at least to the best of his understanding, Apollos needed to be shown “the way of God more accurately” (Acts 18:26). And to his credit, when Priscilla and Aquila showed him where his understanding had been lacking, he changed.
Diligently Seeking God
The Danger of Undiscovered Sin (March 21)
We desire other people to think about us as we wish them to think, but we also desire to think about ourselves as we wish to think. We tend to deceive ourselves about ourselves. We all have “secret faults” that are “hidden” from our own sight.
Reaching Forward
A Love Worth Dying For (March 21)
Jesus said, “He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). We do ourselves a favor, and we show the greatest honor to God, when we loosen our grip on our lives in this world.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Seasons (March 21)
Spring is a time of new beginnings and growth. As greenery emerges from the gray of winter, we’re reminded of the opportunity this gives us to renew our commitment to life. So whatever good thing you can begin (or renew) today, let it live in you!
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 313 – Christ’s church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets
The rock on which the church rests is the rock-solid truth about Christ. This truth was what Christ revealed to the apostles, individuals designated by Christ to serve as His authoritative spokesmen and representatives. Their teaching is normative.
