August 25 …whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. — Romans 8:30

Effectual Calling

Have you ever called to someone—maybe your child playing in the yard or a friend you see across a room—and that person didn’t respond to your call? While people may not respond to us for a variety of reasons, God never has this problem. He is sovereign. The ones He calls always come to Him. In theological circles, this truth is known as the doctrine of “effectual calling.” (“Effectual” means... More

August 24 ‘…I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ — John 3:3

Lessons From A Caterpillar

Have you ever considered the amazing lessons that nature, one of God’s greatest preachers, offers us? We learn friendliness from the dog. We learn diligence from the ant. And we learn about new birth from the caterpillar. Caterpillars do not lead very exciting lives. In fact, you might even pity them. They never travel very far, and when they do travel, they must exert a tremendous amount of effort to get anywhere. And since they... More

August 23 ‘…bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.’ — Matthew 5:44

Good For Evil

Remember the last time someone wronged you? Maybe a friend betrayed a confidence. Or perhaps someone attacked your character or lied to you or…well, any one of thousands of scenarios. Whatever the offense, how did you respond? In matters of good and evil, our responses can take one of four directions. First of all, some people return evil forgood . This is the devil’s way of doing things. We see this attitude demonstrated by... More

August 22 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. — 2 Corinthians 9:6

On Giving And Receiving

When you have an opportunity to give away money, what’s your attitude? Do you give generously, with a happy heart? The Bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. It also says that we shouldn’t give grudgingly or from compulsion. But many people do just that. They look on their giving not as sowing but as throwing, such as the man who put a dollar in the offering plate and afterward sang with all his might, “When we... More

August 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. — Philippians 1:21

Tragedy Or Triumph?

If you knew that you were going to die today, how would you feel until the moment arrived? Death can be either the most frightening or the most delightful prospect to an individual. How a person feels about death depends totally on his or her relationship with the Lord. Consider how one man changed his perspective on facing “the king of terrors” as his relationship with Jesus Christ changed. John Wesley was an unbeliever and a... More

August 20 Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. — Mark 16:15

'Preach The Gospel'

When we first come to the Savior, we come with empty hands, empty of anything that could commend us to His kingdom. With empty hands we embrace His Cross and trust in His redeeming work to save us. But when we meet Christ in heaven, we hope our hands will be full to overflowing with the souls we've led into His everlasting kingdom. If you were to meet Christ in heaven today, what would you hold in your hands to offer Him? Christ has... More

August 19 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. — Psalm 96:3

The Glory Of His Majesty

In your opinion, who is the most awe-inspiring person ever to have lived? What makes that person so incredible? Now think of God. Isn’t it amazing that no matter how awe-inspiring some people are, none can compare to the majesty of our great God? Today let’s dwell on God’s awesomeness. First of all, God is a Spirit. While He is a personal Spirit who touches each individual life, He is also an infinite Spirit, inhabiting... More
