Two-Year Daily Devotion Plan (Week 1)
This year, the Two-Year Bible Reading Plan will include a daily devotional posted on a weekly basis.
The Obedience of Faith
“Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, for His name’s sake.” (Rom. 1:5 NAS) I have always been intrigued by the expression “the obedience of faith”. The Apostle Paul only used this expression twice in his letters, and both times are found inContinue reading “The Obedience of Faith”
Understanding Grace
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (2Pe. 1:2 NAS) I like to give special attention to the blessings we find in scripture. In both of his epistles, the Apostle Peter prays for grace and peace to be multiplied to believers. The modern-day church hasContinue reading “Understanding Grace”
Communion With God
“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will make Our abode with him.” (Jn. 14:23 NASV) If you are like me, you hunger for fellowship with God.

It is a love that has not yet been tested by the challenges of life, yet it is full of faith and hope. Even thoughContinue reading “Our First Love”
The Fruit of Self-Control
“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.” (Prov. 16:32). Every Christian believer goes through the experience Paul described in his epistle to the Romans, “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evilContinue reading “The Fruit of Self-Control”
Ever-Increasing Love
“The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below.” (Prov. 15:24). The Christian walk is a path to eternity; as we live on this earth, we are either moving upward or downward. To move upwards is to become more like Christ. John described the goal of theContinue reading “Ever-Increasing Love”
