Grace Wins The Race

Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

These scripture verses tell us about winning the race.  It is important to know that this race is already won and done because Jesus Christ came to ...

Alcohol Leads To Woes

Genesis 9:20-23 (KJV) And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: He drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces ...

For Overcomers

Revelation 2:7 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

In this devotion today, we will again look closely at the biblical scripture God provided concerning this tree of life.  Something important is revealed to us in this verse about this distinctive heavenly tree.  This tree ...

Revelation 22:2 (KJV) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

We read about two trees in yesterday’s devotion, The tree of good and evil and the tree of life.  In this verse above from the ...

Two Trees

Genesis 2:8-9 (KJV) And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Perhaps you are familiar with the tree of good and evil, infamous ...

The riches of Christ, how they comfort and provide lasting life for every regenerated soul.  This verse describes the wealth of Christ that resides in His Word and is meant for application in every soul set aside for the indwelling presence of ...

Purify Yourself

1 John 3:2-3 (KJV) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Maybe these verses seem confusing since it seems they are directing us to clean up ourselves? But, you might ...

Repented Not

Revelation 9:20-21 (KJV) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

These two verses tell us a lot about ...

Like a Cock Fight

Galatians 5:15 (KJV) But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

Isn’t it sad that people, especially professing Christians, act more like fighting dogs or chickens than sincerely expressing God’s love and mercy?  Even amid trials and confrontations, a genuine Christian should get along well with others, whether an individual is saved or lost at heart.  This kind of public billboard allows lost souls to see ...

Immunity From Harm

Immunity From Harm

Luke 10:19 (KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Wow, what power is revealed in this verse but must be understood with God’s intended context.  This scripture does not suggest a person can handle snakes today with protection from harm.  No, safety from snakes is accorded to particular people at a special time.  However, this ...
