February 24 ‘…and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.’ — John 6:37

John Bunyan

As you've walked along your life's path, have you ever felt you've gone astray, entirely unable to find your way back? Perhaps even today you feel a bit lost, fearing you've taken a wrong turn because of a choice you've made… John Bunyan, the seventeenth-century author who wrote Pilgrim's Progress , a great Christian classic, wandered off the path leading to Christ. According to his own testimony, Bunyan was a very ungodly young... More

February 23 ‘Now, therefore, give me this mountain…’ — Joshua 14:12

Caleb

Have you ever made an outrageous request of God then stood back in amazement as He granted it? Caleb made such a request in Joshua 14: "Give me this mountain." At the age of eighty-five, Caleb requested a mountain, hill country filled with pagans. Why would he ask for a hillside full of hostile heathens? Even if he received the land, Caleb would have to face the sons of Anak, a whole family, generation, and tribe of giants who inhabited the... More

February 22 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins… — 1 John 1:9

The Faith Of Washington

How would you define the word "hero"? Do you know anyone who fulfills that definition, anyone whom you hold in such high esteem? These days we desperately need heroes, people we can look up to and emulate. I think that George Washington fills the bill in a remarkable way. In his own day, George Washington's character was the wonder of the world. Not even his most relentless British foes of the Revolutionary War could denigrate his... More

February 21 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ — Jeremiah 33:3

Call On Me

We all go through our share of difficult times. Perhaps you're in the midst of one even now, wondering if God knows and cares about your pain. But He does. He hears your cries and wants you to know He is there for you. When we endure afflictions, when our souls despair of hope or help, when the skies turn ominously black and the green valleys wither into wastelands, then the Word of the Lord shines through like a ray of hope: "Call to Me!"...

February 20 But the day of the Lord will come?and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. — 2 Peter 3:10

Safety In The Midst Of Danger

When life hands us difficult circumstances and dangerous situations, we all need safe hiding places. When you face the fire, where do you go to seek rescue? A whole host of dangers lie in life's path, and at any time those dangers can threaten to overtake us. Many say we have a multitude of places to seek safety from life's challenges, but truly we have only one—Jesus Christ. Consider the early pioneers who traveled across the... More

February 19 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. — Ephesians 2:8-9

Amazing Grace

If we likened Scripture passages to mountain ranges, I think "by grace are you saved" would be the Himalayas. This passage towers above all others because it contains the highest biblical truth—by God's grace we are saved. The apostle Paul said that among faith, hope, and love, the greatest is love. If Paul had included grace in the list, I have a feeling grace would have topped the list. But Paul didn't include grace because he was... More

February 18 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, ‘Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you [Paul].’ — Acts 24:25

Procrastination

Do you ever put off things until tomorrow? Do you wait for the perfect time and conditions before undertaking a challenge? Many people procrastinate. The word “procrastination” comes from two Latin words that, combined, mean “toward tomorrow.” When we procrastinate, we look toward tomorrow, counting on it as a better day to face problems and difficult situations. Mark Twain once quipped, “Never put off till... More
