Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
A People for His Own Possession (October 7)
Reconciliation can only be through the atonement of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. But in Christ, let us not undervalue what it’s possible for us to be: a people set aside for God to possess. There is no higher privilege than to be a part of this people.
Diligently Seeking God
Kaizen (October 7)
Much of the happiness and joy that are available to us can only be ours if we know we’re making progress in godly character and conduct. When we give in to the forces of evil “inertia,” we fail to move ahead, and the result is that we stagnate.
Reaching Forward
When to Celebrate (October 7)
It is through many tribulations that we enter heaven. So isn’t some kind of celebration in order when the fight has been fought and the race has been run? When we act as if it is better to have our temporal life in front of us, what are we thinking?
Enthusiastic Ideas
Solutions (October 7)
It’s an admirable aim to want to be a solution seeker. Certainly we ought to seek solutions rather than create problems. But more than that, we ought to be those who work at finding solutions and not those who merely desire them.
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 341 – As Christians, we are God’s own special people
As special as the relationship was that God entered into with the nation of Israel, that relationship was only meant to foreshadow and prepare for the even more special union between God and spiritual Israel, which is the church of Jesus Christ.
