June 30 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken… — Hebrews 3:5

Faithful And True

Have you ever struggled to remain faithful to God in certain areas of your life? To be faithful literally means to be “full of faith.” The practical outworking of faithfulness is remaining true to God and His Word regardless of the cost or adverse circumstances. Consider one man of faith, General William Booth, who founded the Salvation Army. In his later years, he lost his eyesight. He visited the doctor for help, but the... More
June 29 …but the greatest of these is love. — 1 Corinthians 13:13

Henry Drummond

How is your love life? Or put differently, is yours a life of love? Today I’d like to focus on a man who exemplified Christian love. Henry Drummond, a nineteenth-century Scottish evangelist and writer, influenced lives wherever he went. He’s perhaps best known for his book entitled The Greatest Thing in the World , an exposition on the love chapter of 1 Corinthians. Drummond discovered that the most important thing he could... More
June 28 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. — Ephesians 4:29

The Key To A Happy Home

Of all the contributing factors that make our homes happy, good communication must be high on the list. As we relate to people, we communicate on many levels—everything from “Hi, how are you?” to divulging facts, expressing emotions, and ultimately sharing our true selves. To make a home run smoothly, we need communication on all levels, but especially on that most intimate level of revealing ourselves to our housemates... More
June 27 ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…’ — John 3:16

William Carey

How big is your God? Is He bound by the limitations of what you can see, hear, and think? Or do you have a God who can do anything at any time? Today, let’s consider a great man who believed in a great God—William Carey, the father of modern missions. Carey lived by the motto “Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God.” For centuries, worldwide missions had come to a virtual standstill. But William... More
June 26 ‘…unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ — John 3:3

George Whitefield

Do you ever think about our nation and wonder whether God will renew a land that has sunk to the moral depths that ours has? Is there any hope for the society in which we live? Perhaps we can take a cue from another time, another society. The period in which we live is not unlike that of the opening half of the eighteenth century, especially in England. At that time, adultery, fornication, gambling, drunkenness, and the breaking of the... More
June 25 Be strong and of good courage — Deuteronomy 31:6

"What Is Your Name?"

I admire people who display great courage. One man in history known for his courage was Alexander the Great. One day, Alexander held court in Nebuchadnezzar's great palace in Babylon. He sat upon the great golden throne, pronouncing sentences for the crimes charged to his soldiers. The sergeant-at-arms brought in one soldier after another and read their crimes. No one could deliver them from Alexander's severe judgments. Finally, the... More
June 24 Where there is no vision, the people perish… — Proverbs 29:18, KJV

Where There Is No Vision

Do you have a great vision for your life? Do you have a purpose in mind, a purpose in heart that comes from a vision that inflames your heart with a blue-white flame? Or do you simply live your life because every morning you wake up again and there you are, having to endure just one more miserable day? I believe we need to have vision for our lives, dreams to reach for, goals to accomplish. As we develop vision, we discover purpose for our... More
