Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Some Strong Statements About the Kingdom (July 3)
Jesus spoke boldly about the kingdom of God. If we find ourselves challenged by what He taught concerning the kingdom, it’s because we need to be challenged. Whether we will allow God to rule in our hearts or not is the central concern of the gospel.
Diligently Seeking God
Walking with God (July 3)
It is remarkable that God offers to every one of us the possibility of walking with Him. No matter how badly we’ve wrecked our past, God is willing for us to walk with Him the rest of the way home, if we’ll accept His pardon on His terms.
Reaching Forward
Window of Opportunity (July 3)
With regard to what the Lord wants us to do in His work, there is not an unlimited amount of time in which to do that work. Each of us has a window of opportunity, and after that, we will give account for our stewardship of the time given us.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Consideration (July 3)
Consideration is not just a matter of emotional goodwill but of intellectual vigor and moral self-sacrifice. Wisdom must combine with sympathy. So the ideal is both wise consideration and considerate wisdom, and these are wonderful traits to learn.
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 327 – We should learn to distinguish between good and evil as God does
If we don’t try our best to distinguish between right and wrong, a progressive darkening of our understanding will take place. God will allow us to become deluded, and we may have a hard time recognizing even basic moral distinctions.
