M A R C H 1 3 “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” — James 1:15

The Slippery Slope Of Sin

Have you ever stood at the top of a slippery slope—perhaps a steep and icy driveway or even a hill of dirt that crumbles beneath your feet—lost your footing, and slid down to the bottom? Sin is like that. We might justify a “tiny” sin to achieve a dearly desired goal. “After all,” we say, “a little compromise won’t hurt.” But one little sin leads to another, and before you know it, you... More

M A R C H 1 2 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” — 1 John 1:7

Christian Fellowship

We all need friends, and when we become Christians, we suddenly join a worldwide fellowship of friends—friends we will enjoy forever. When the Spirit of God and the love and forgiveness of God fill our hearts, all the barriers sin has erected break down. Then, by the grace of God, husbands and wives, neighbors and friends, brothers and sisters, children and parents, nations and races reunite and reconcile one to another. We become one... More

M A R C H 1 1 “. . . Shamgar . . . killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.” — Judges 3:31

Aim High

How high are your ambitions to accomplish things for God’s glory? Today we meet an obscure character of Scripture, a man named Shamgar, who aimed high and honored his Lord. The Philistines had conquered Israel and were greatly oppressing the Israelites. The Philistines had taken all of the Israelites’ weapons and means of defense, leaving the Israelites despondent. What could they do? They were outnumbered and defenseless. But... More

M A R C H 1 0 “But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’” — Luke 19:14

Crown Him Lord Of All

Have you ever played a part in this scenario: You’re having a rational discussion with someone when the subject of Christianity arises. All of a sudden, this person spouts nonsensical arguments in favor of rejecting Christ outright. Do you ever wonder why the subject of Christianity makes the most rational people irrational? Why do so many reject Jesus Christ? Arguments against Christ seem to fly out of the human heart like bats out... More

M A R C H 9 “But command Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him . . .” — Deuteronomy 3:28

Encouragers

Have you ever had someone encourage you when you felt low or defeated? Remember how that encouragement rejuvenated you, giving you a fresh desire to persevere? Nothing could uplift us more than the encouragement of a friend or loved one. Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul. Having run two miles, a person may need to pause to catch his or her breath before running another two. Similarly, a person facing a formidable task or even the... More

M A R C H 8 “Pursue . . . holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews 12:14

Purity

Do you ever wonder how historians of the future will characterize the age in which we live? Will they call it the information age? The nuclear age? The technological age? The space age? I’d like to suggest a term, but you probably won’t feel proud of it. I think we live in a dirty age. Despite the ways agencies fight the air and water pollution that threaten our environment, we live in a dirty world. But I’m not talking... More

M A R C H 4 “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12

Make The Most Out Of Life

Are you getting everything you want from life? Or do the days slip by too quickly for you to meet your responsibilities, let alone reach for your dreams? If we’re going to make the most of our lives, we have to get the whole concept of life into the proper focus and perspective. We need to view life as God does, because as humans, our perspective on life is upside down. The Bible tells us two things about life. A number of Biblical... More
