April 25 … God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their sins against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation. — 2 Corinthians 5:19

Reconciliation

How are we reconciled with each other? By repentance and faith. By faith we rest in the atoning blood of Christ and claim that cleansing stream. We are made one with Him, being one with Christ and one with the Father, and then we can be one with one another. There must be reconciliation from man to man, woman to woman, individual to individual. That is accomplished by repentance and confession. As you think about your relationship with God,... More

April 24 And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." — Matthew 22:39

An Adequate Sense of Who We Are

Our society puts an inordinate amount of emphasis on self-image. Look out for #1 (that is, yourself), cry the pundits. How is a good self-image achieved and does it matter? A self-image is very much like happiness. Someone once wrote about the "unhappy pursuit of happiness." The unhappiest people are the ones who pursue happiness, because happiness is not something you can find by directly pursuing it. It is something which is a by-product... More

April 23 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you. — Matthew 6:33

Self-Image

There are many people who begin life with a very poor self-image. They are helped along the way by others who criticize them, ignore them, make fun of them, pooh-pooh their ideas, and contribute to their general feeling that they really have nothing to offer, that they are not worthwhile, that nobody wants to hear what they have to say, and certainly that no one could care how they feel. Therefore, they withhold all of these things and the... More

April 22 For we have not followed cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. — 2 Peter 1:16

Many Infallible Proofs

It is interesting that in the radical left wing of Protestantism, back about two hundred years ago, they were concocting in their ivory towers all kinds of theories about how the Bible was not the Word of God, how these were but mythological stories, inventions of creative minds, things that never happened in this world at all. Interestingly, about the very same time, there was another science that was beginning; it was the science of... More

April 21 Then I said, "Here am I. Send me." — Isaiah 6:8

"Flame of God"

In 1956, five American missionaries were killed in the jungles of Ecuador by fierce Indians. One of them was Jim Elliot, who famously said, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." In his senior year at Wheaton College, Elliot wrote some words in his diary, which I recall reading and being awestruck that any college senior could write such words: "[God] makes ‘His ministers a flame of fire.' Am... More

April 20 See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, and death and disaster. What I am commanding you today is to love the LORD your God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments … — Deuteronomy 30:15-16

Life or Death

God has set before us the "maker's manual." If you obey the commandments, you will do well. If you don't, you will destroy yourself. The commandments are basically simple, but they are not easy. If we seek to live a godly life, we can only do this by His power and by His grace. Human success or failure in this life is largely dependent upon the requisite yielding of ourselves in obedience to the commandments of God. It is not some great... More

April 19 Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." — John 8:12

Claims of Christ

Jesus made extraordinary claims about Himself. For example, He declared, "I am the light of the world." What a profound statement to issue forth from the lips of any man. If anyone were to make a statement like that today, we would suppose that either he was the world's greatest egomaniac or he was completely deranged. The astounding thing is that we receive such words as these—"I am the light of the world … I am the good... More
