Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Trustworthiness of the Scriptures – 1 (March 4)
What sense would it make for evangelists of the faith in the first century to hang their whole case on the fulfillment of the Old Testament in the events in Jesus’ life, if it could be shown that no such things ever really happened?
Diligently Seeking God
What Happens to Faith as Life Unfolds? (March 4)
Like any decision to trust, the commitment of ourselves to the truth about God is likely to be tested as the years go by. But mere testing doesn’t mean our faith was foolish. To the contrary, it may well demonstrate just how wise our choice was.
Reaching Forward
Seeking God with Gratitude (March 4)
Having learned a little of God’s greatness, we need to seek His glory day in and day out. God is our King. That fact is not altered by the fluctuations in our circumstances or feelings, and our gratitude ought not to depend on these things either.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Selflessness (March 4)
It would be an unhealthy person indeed who had no concern for his own wants and needs. But selflessness means that we’re willing to sacrifice for the good of others and that our own desires are filled up only when we’re willing to pour them out.
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 310 – By dying in our stead, Jesus defeated the power of death
The Son of God took upon Himself mortal flesh and blood that “through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery” (Hebrews 2:14,15).
