LWF - Keeping the Faith

Keeping the Faith

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“…Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I believe with all my heart that the call needs to go out today more clearly than ever before for Christians to keep the faith.

William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, said, “The chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and Heaven without Hell.”

We are but one generation away from paganism. If this generation doesn’t keep the faith and pass it to the next, there will be no faith.
ACTION POINT:
Are you passing the faith to the next generation? Here is your commission from the Lord: “Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates.” Deuteronomy 11:18-20

2 Corinthians 12:9

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.    2 Corinthians 12:9

Psalm 23:4

Psalm 23:4

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.


Interestingly enough, one often associates a rod with correction. We can find comfort in knowing that God will use the rod of correction on us when we need it. We can have a certain sense of security in knowing that God will chastise us when we go astray, in order to draw us back!

LWF - Him—Just Him

Him—Just Him

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I heard of a lady who memorized so many verses of Scripture that she quoted them back to the Lord in praise to His name. When she grew old and began to lose her memory, she could only remember one verse, “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” She would quote it over and over.

Soon her memory deteriorated more, and all she could remember was just the phrase “committed unto Him.” It brought her much comfort. Finally she came to a place where all she could say was “Him.”
ACTION POINT:
You can distill the Bible down to that one word, “Him.” Can you tune all of your life to that one note of praise? Him.

Bible Verse 1/30/15

My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.    Psalms 7:10

Bible Verse 1/29/15

Psalm 23:4

For You are with me;


Five simple words, but what incredible comfort lies within that scripture. How many of us really believe it with our whole hearts? If we did, would we ever feel lonely, afraid, unworthy, unloved? Would we struggle with sin if we remembered that the most high God is with us?

Today's Prayer 1-28-15

Father, please speak to our friends and family members who don't know You ... or who've walked away from their Christian faith. – Heal their brokenness, fill their voids, and draw them close to You.

~In Jesus' Name, Amen
