October 8 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. — 2 Peter 3:18

Divinely Discontented

It is sad that most Christians, by the time they have been a Christian five or ten years, already feel they know enough to get by. They are not embarrassed in Sunday School trying to find a book in the Bible they are studying. They read a little bit, pray a little bit, do a little bit, give a little bit, and that should suffice. But not the Apostle Paul; he was divinely discontented. Let us be content with what we have and discontent with... More

October 7 You shall not covet … — Exodus 20:17

The Constant Desire for More

Covetousness is a great evil in the eyes of God. Paul tells us, " Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry " (Colossians 3:5 NIV). Jesus said, " Beware of covetousness " (Luke 12:15). We live in a society that glorifies covetousness, a society that talks about grasping all that you can get, a society which is predicated on getting and... More

October 6 You shall not make for yourself any graven idol, … You shall not bow down to them or serve them; — Exodus 20:4-5

Worshiping God Alone

I imagine that most people would consider the prohibition to worship any graven images the most out-of-date commandment of the Decalogue (the Ten Words)—just a commandment that may have been important a few thousand years ago in the midst of all of the pagan image worshipers. But before the words written in the tables of stone by the finger of the Almighty had even cooled, the people had made a graven image of a golden calf and had... More

October 5 He who rules over man justly, who rules in the fear of God, — 2 Samuel 23:3

The Folly of Ungodly Rulers

At a time when some nations are realizing the folly of unbelief and the fatal results in the lives of people, America continues apace down the foolish pathway—toward godlessness and secularism. Today, having banished the Bible and having attempted to banish God from all spheres of public life, we have found that our Congress cannot even produce a budget, and that it is becoming increasingly impossible to govern this nation. Robert... More

October 4 I have spoken these things to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. — John 15:11

Joy and Gladness

The Christian message is a message of joy. God gives us joy and gladness. The singing may sometimes switch to a minor key, but we still sing. Even though there are many sorrows in this world, the Gospel message still provides the most uplifting and joyful words found anywhere. Countless people have attested to this over the centuries, including those who were killed for the sake of its message. William Tyndale, one of the very first... More

October 3 For the LORD is a God of justice; how blessed are all who long for Him. — Isaiah 30:18

God Will Settle All Accounts

One time an atheistic farmer in New England tried to rob God of His glory. He wrote this letter to the newspaper in the Fall: "I bought my seed on the Sabbath, I sowed it on the Sabbath, I watered it on the Sabbath, I fertilized it on the Sabbath, and I harvested it on the Sabbath. Now it's October and I have the largest crop in the valley." The editor printed his letter and simply added one sentence: "God does not settle all of His... More

October 2 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. — Isaiah 40:28

A Big God

Your God Is Too Small proclaimed the title of a book some years ago by J. B. Phillips. I am sure that many would say, "Now just a minute. That may be true of some, but I worship the great triune Jehovah who is infinite in His wisdom, being, and power." That is all very good in theory. It makes great theology, but how about in practice? Is it not true that many Christians go about their daily lives as if they worshiped an emaciated midget?... More
