February 14 Love never fails. — 1 Corinthians 13:8

The Superiority of Love

It is hard to believe, but arranged marriages, for example, those in India, have often fared much better than marriages in the West based on romantic notions of love. What these people have learned—that we often have forgotten or have been deceived about—is that love is not some exotic bird that comes flapping down with its wings and sets our hearts aflutter and then disappears just as mysteriously. But love, as 1 Corinthians 13... More

February 13 Beloved, if God so loved us, we must also love one another. — 1 John 4:11

The Source of Love

God is the source of all love in this world. More than that, He is love. Whenever people love each other in word or in deed, wherever people learn to put others first, there God is present. There is the Spirit of Jesus. No man ever loved like Jesus. He brought the far-off God nigh through the channel of the Father's love. He went about doing good. He demonstrated love. He healed the wounded. He raised the dead. He healed the sick. He did... More

February 12 … in order that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. — 1 Peter 1:7

Refined by Fire

One of America's greatest presidents was born on this day. Although he entered the White House as a non-believer, by the time of Gettysburg, there is strong evidence he had met the Savior (especially when seeking solace after the death of his beloved son). Jesus was on the mind of Lincoln when he died. You history buffs will remember that 1865 was the year that the Civil War ended. In that same year, on Good Friday,... More

February 11 … and He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For all these out of their abundance have put in their gifts for God. But she out of her poverty has put in all the living she had.” — Luke 21:3-4

Serving Self or Serving Others?

… and He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For all these out of their abundance have put in their gifts for God. But she out of her poverty has put in all the living she had." Psychologist Abraham Maslow claimed that those who demonstrate the greatest amount of self-love and have the highest self-esteem exercise dominance. In any relationship—a husband and a wife, two friends, or... More

February 10 … just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before Him in love. — Ephesians 1:4

Holiness and Happiness

I know a friend who just went through major surgery and then, after he was home and thought all was well, a massive infection was found. The doctors had to go back in and cleanse that out. That is like sanctification. Sanctification deals with corruption. A beautiful apple, when cut in half, re­veals one dark spot. It is obviously rotten, and the spot must be cut out. God is purifying us in this life through sanctification. The holiness... More

February 9 ...yet we know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. — Galatians 2:16

Justified

If God had called us to climb Mt. Everest in order that we might have eternal life, there would be millions lined up to try it. However, He calls us to no such arduous task as that, but to a simple trust in Christ as our Savior. To do that, we must realize that we are unworthy and undeserving. We do not merit eternal life, and it is, therefore, a humbling experience to receive Christ. We must acknowledge our sin; we must... More

February 8 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty? It is from then on good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men. — Matthew 5:13

The Salt of the Earth

Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t want to get out of their “saltshakers.” They are very comfortable. Why some of them even have stained glass walls! These people don’t want to get in contact with the “meat,” because maybe it is already beginning to get rotten and corrupted. They don’t want to get their hands on it, and so they avoid it. They are not functioning as salt. Salt has a number of... More
