Serve God In Truth And Sincerity

-
Joshua 24: 14 Now therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  (NASB)

Good Day Men!

I remember when I accepted Christ as my personal Savior in October 1992 that I knew that there would be changes in my life.  At first it was very frustrating waiting for God to move.  But I waited and I studied His word.  The more I studied the more I learned.  As a result of my newfound desire to seek Him, He answered my prayers.  Many of my friends I had before 1992 I still have today.  You see, I thought I was saved but I never actively made the commitment to accept what Christ did for me on the cross.  So even before I was saved I was active in my church through choir, Sunday School, and various other ministries.  But I didn’t know God.  In 1992 I settled it for good and now I know beyond a shadow of any doubt that I am His and He is mine.  I have experienced God growing me into His man.  I sought God through the verse I used today.  I made a conscience effort to put away all that I had previously learned and applied God to everything I was learning through His Word.  The scriptures began to come to life in my daily studies.  The greatest thing I had to put away was the learning of God’s Word in my own skills and abilities.  I was nothing until God came to life through the study of His Word.  So I actively put away my old methods of self-learning and depended on God to teach me.  He began to reveal the scriptures to me through daily practical application, as I would ask Him to show me how to experience Him more.  He answered my prayer and one of the results you are reading right now.  God gave me a heart to reach men for Christ.

These devotionals are a blessing to me and I gain from the research as God continues to apply Himself to my life daily.  Apply Him to your life today.

…..serve Him in sincerity and truth;  Sincerely seek God’s truth and He WILL reveal himself to you through the daily application of His holy word.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way through His Word.

Have a great day!!

Your servant in Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
