Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
The Keys of the Kingdom (April 15)
The apostles played a pivotal role in the NT period. No one since then has possessed Christ’s authority as they did, and their teaching will always be the benchmark against which everything must be measured. We are not free to modify their teaching.
Diligently Seeking God
He Knows (April 15)
God’s perfect knowledge of us is both comforting and sobering. He is not only infinitely wise but infinitely good. He will always do what is right. And the wonder of all wonders is that, knowing us as He does, He is willing for us to know Him.
Reaching Forward
No Comfortable Cross (April 15)
If our Lord chose the concept of crucifixion to describe the removal of sin from our lives, we ought not to expect that process to be entirely pleasant. The destruction of our habits requires nothing less than the dying of the person we used to be.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Lawfulness (April 15)
If we appreciate lawfulness in others, we need to adopt it ourselves. Most of us would like the world to be “a better place.” The rule of law can help bring about that result, but we’ll enjoy little of its benefit if we ourselves don’t obey the law.
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).

DFBS 316 – The gospel of Jesus Christ produces peace
Working constructively toward peace challenges both our wisdom and our courage. It calls for the highest and best within us. May we be people whose work results in a greater degree of true harmony, based upon the revealed truth of God’s word.
