Daily Devotional: Our Love for Others

  • From the command to love God flows the command to love others. We cannot love Yahweh without also loving His people. The two commands are not to be separated.

 

  • All people are created in God’s image and therefore worthy of His love and ours. We don’t love because people deserve it or have earned it, but because we have the lo

  • We know that Yahweh loves us through His words and actions. God expects us to love Him in return with a love flowing from the greatest love, His undeserving, unconditional, sacrificial love for us.

 

  • In the same way, we can show our love for God through our words and actions. He commands us to love Him because He knows we need

Daily Devotional: Do You Know Him?

by PamFord Davis  

 

 

Then they will know... “And they shall know that I am the Lord their God (Exodus 29:46a NKJV).”

Nebuchadnezzar was a slow learner.

“King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He choos

  • In order to follow the two greatest commandments, loving God and loving others, we must first understand God’s love for us. John tells us in his first letter that, “We love him, because he first loved us.”

 

  • The love God has for us is hard to fathom since we are so undeserving of it. Yahweh’s “agape” for us is so undeserving th

  • The word love is found all throughout the Bible and represents a foundational truth of the Christian faith. Yahweh is a God of love, and as people created in His image, we are to be people characterized by love.

 

  • While the English language has only one word for love, the original Hebrew and Greek of the Bible utilized several

The Great Conflict

Part 2 – The First Three Battles

Genesis 4, 6, 11

 

            We are addressing the Great Conflict, which is the greatest of all conflicts this world has ever witnessed.  We have had conflicts between man (which are ultimately parts of the great conflict as well) that have been considered to be great and terrible wars.  But the conflict, or war, between God and Satan is much greater in magnitude than any conflict man could ever have because it just does

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him,” (Hebrews 11:6 NIV).

There is a distinction between slavish fear and saving faith, and prideful effort and gospel rest. A fear-based approach to God says “What good thing must I do to please God, and avoid judgment?” A faith-based approach says “I can’t do anything good without God, but I trust the gospel of Jesus Ch

Womanhood is one of the very interesting things about life that many people have failed to comprehend. In simple terms, womanhood is the state or condition of being a woman. A woman is an adult female human. Prior to this stage of growth, a woman is first referred to as a girl and then a lady. At the point of being referred to as a woman, the female entity must have attained maturity and be able to carry out the necessary responsibilities of being a woman. Many people in today’s society do not c

In the words of President Ronald Reagan…

‘Tear down this wall!’  [June 12,1987]

Jesus has removed the walls of separatism and favoritism.

“For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord over all [of us], and [He is] abounding in riches (blessings) for all who call on Him [in faith and prayer].

For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.’

But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will

Our topic is God has a big blessing planned for you this year.
It is a new year and people are always expectant, they expect from God, they expect protection, favor, blessings and much more. They expect from people, their jobs and other areas of their lives, commitment, dedication, and loyalty. Compared to Gods’ blessings, the world standard of blessing is a cheap bogus you will always be disappointed if you expect from man rather than God. Gods’ blessings for you is true and long-lasting, unl

Daily Devotional: Fingering Braille

by PamFord Davis  

 

 

This morning I had thoughts of my two blind friends. One, (a radio friend) for over 40 years lives about 1 ½ hours away. The other I’ve known for 10 years, (but never met face-to-face) is a missionary living in Africa. What brought them to mind?

I had just opened a Bible.

My fingers moved across a page while thinking about how precious God’s word is to me. I compared my searching to a blind person fingering Braille to read a special message. It’s as if the blind see thro

He heals the brokenhearted  and binds up their wounds. --Psalm 147:3, NIV

Why does my heart hurt? I've asked myself many times through the years. Really, though, I was asking that of God. 

Gradually, as I learned more through the years of what the Word of God says, and continued to seek out true Bible-based teaching in churches and online and in books, I realized that my heart hurt because there was so much junk in it--bitterness, unforgiveness, strife, jealousy, fear, doubt, unbelief, sin-consc

Lord Jesus, teach me to pray.

“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is

Daily Devotional : Will Reign Forever

By PamFord Davis  

 

 

“Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the Lord according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel. For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had torn down; he also set up altars for the Baals and made Asherim, and he worshiped all the heavenlylights and served them. He built altars in the house of the Lord of which the Lo

Doubt and Lazarus

John 11:1-44

Part 3 – Doubt Dismissed

 

            And then, everything changed.  Surrounded by so much doubt and mixed emotions, Jesus brought a positive out of a negative situation.  He does that often you know.  He has made death, the most dreaded ending to every man, to be a victory if we come to Him.  He makes sickness and disease, physical handicaps and disabilities, to become victorious witnesses for His sustaining power.  He works miracles of heal

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.--Matthew 5:8-9, Berean Study Bible

The LORD our God is the living Word (John 1), and all right thoughts and words come from Him.  

Since I was 10 or so, writing stories, and letters and more has come easily to me. It is one of my strongest gifts. However, years ago when I served as a supervisor over several other people, I  found one letter very hard
