Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Faithful Love (February 6)
It is encouraging that God is always at the door of our hearts, wanting us to open up and accept His gift of life. But it should sober us to know that if we refuse, He will remain outside — and if we die in our rebellion, we will be lost forever.
Diligently Seeking God
Clarity (February 6)
Is the complexity of our talk about what God’s will “might” be a substitute for action in regard to what our conscience already knows? God has not only spoken; He has spoken clearly. What is needed from us is a little less talk and a lot more action.
Reaching Forward
Would We Refuse the Great Invitation? (February 6)
God offers us life, and His offer is an invitation. “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ . . . Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17). Who in his right mind would turn down this, the greatest of all invitations?
Enthusiastic Ideas
Companionship (February 6)
We need to engage actively in the conduct of “companionship.” Whoever you are, there’ll be those around you who need you to “accompany” them in some way. They need your companionship. And, in truth, you need theirs. Companionship is a good thing.
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 306 – We must love God’s truth more than we love our sins
Most people have definite ideas about what they “want” the truth to be. But wherever God is concerned, we need to be careful. What matters most is not what we want to hear, but what is, in fact, the truth. It is the truth that will makes us free.
