TITLE: 'Think Good Thoughts'
TEXT: Philippians 4:1-9
MEMORY VERSE: "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8 NLT).
COMMENTS
The psalmist wrote, “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord” (Psalm 119:1 NLT). That may come as quite a surprise to people who fail to see the connection between following instructions and joy.
Many unbelievers—and believers—have a hard time getting past the “Thou shalt nots” of God’s commandments. They see God as a cosmic kill joy whose primary interaction with humankind is to legislate through His Word the complete elimination of fun and excitement.
This isn’t just an accidental misunderstanding of our heavenly Father; it’s the result of a calculated strategy. Look at the serpent’s first words to Eve in the Garden of Eden: “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1 NLT). He played on her FOMO—fear of missing out—before she was even aware that she had such a fear. The serpent caused her to see God’s command, His only command, as something ponderous and restrictive. And the stigma remains.
So, we need to make this clear: People who see the Bible and the Christian life as little more than a list of rules and regulations have not carefully examined Scripture. Yes, God tells us what to avoid. Yes, He warns us of things that are perilous to our spiritual health. At the same time, however, God tells us what to engage in. He reveals to us what will push the buttons of joy, fulfillment, and satisfaction that He installed in us.
For example, in 2 Timothy 2:22, the apostle Paul writes, “Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts” (NLT). But then he follows it up with this: “Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the
companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts” (NLT). What an appealing invitation! What potential for life-changing growth, joy, and fulfillment!
Believers who merely try to avoid what is evil are missing the point. Loving God isn’t just about what not to do. It’s also about what to do. If you want to be a truly joyful and holy person, you not only should avoid what is wrong, but you should embrace and actively engage in what is right. That’s what walking with the Lord is about. It involves progression, moving forward, rather
than sitting still.
In Paul’s first letter to the believers in Corinth, he writes, “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love” (1 Corinthians 16:13–14 NLT). Each one of
those things represents forward
progress. Paul gives clear commands, and we apply them faithfully in the particular situations God places before us.
If we focus only on the “Thou shalt not” commandments of Scripture, we’ll miss those opportunities.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.
PRAYER TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST
Heavenly Father, I’m sorry for living a life without you. I want to know you now and ask for your forgiveness. Thank you that you love me so much that you sent your Son to die for me on the cross.
Lord Jesus, thank you that you paid the penalty for my sin on the cross and now I am forgiven. I accept you as my Saviour and King.
Holy Spirit, please breathe upon me now, filing me with your life-giving presence, that I may follow Jesus all the days of my life. Amen

TITLE: 'One Way'
TEXT: 1 Timothy 2:1-15
MEMORY VERSE: "There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.” (1 Timothy 2:5–6 NLT).
COMMENTS
One of the costs of following Christ is not being able to join in the feel-good consensus that claims, “All paths lead to God.” Believers don’t have the option of nodding in agreement when people say, “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere in your beliefs.”
We don’t have the option because the Bible doesn’t offer it. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (John 14:6 NLT). And the apostle Paul wrote, “There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone” (1 Timothy 2:5–6 NLT). These passages leave exactly no room for other spiritual claims or belief systems, no matter how prevalent the idea of religious inclusiveness becomes.
The teaching that Jesus Christ is the only way to God has never been popular. But it’s probably safe to say that it’s never been more controversial than it is today. If you want to get someone’s blood boiling, then quote Jesus’ words in John 14:6 or Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2:5–6. The “Coexist” bumper sticker on the person’s car will spontaneously catch fire.
The idea that you would have the audacity to say that Jesus is the only way is, in effect, saying that other religions aren’t true. That’s the way the logic works itself out, and people don’t like it. It’s acceptable to say that Jesus is a way to God. But when you dare say that He is the only way, then you can be certain that you’ll get some pushback. You might even be accused of being narrow-minded or worse.
But here’s what it comes down to: As believers, we must say what the Bible says, whether it’s popular or not. We have no authority to edit the message of the Bible. We’re called simply to deliver it, without watering it down or sugarcoating the words to fit what the audience wants to hear.
To do otherwise would be like a doctor discovering a very serious problem with a patient’s health but then being unwilling to say what that problem is—because it might make that patient uncomfortable.
We must tell people the truth about their real spiritual condition, which happens to be sinful, and then seek to save them, which is to point them to Jesus Christ as the only solution. If this means we are falsely accused of exclusivity or some other social media no-no, then so be it. God’s truth is too important to be edited for content.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.

TITLE: 'An Urgent Wake-Up Call'
TEXT: Romans 13:8-14
MEMORY VERSE: "This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.” (Romans 13:11–12 NLT).
COMMENTS
Let me start with a few questions. Think of the last time you got a phone call in the middle of the night. Did the person begin the conversation with the
question, “Did I wake you?” If so, did you have the urge to say, “No, I was already awake”?
Sometimes when you're watching television with your wife, she will pick a show that you don’t find very interesting, like some British baking show. And before long, you’ll fall asleep. And when you open your eyes, you’ll find her staring at you. “You were sleeping,” she’ll say. And the first instinct is to say, “No, I wasn’t,” even though you woke yourself up with your own snoring.
What is it about human nature that causes us to deny that we’re sleeping? Maybe we see tiredness as a weakness. Maybe we’re reluctant to admit that we’re not bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and fully alert every second of the day.
It’s one thing to be physically asleep and not own up to it. It’s quite another thing to be spiritually asleep and deny it—and not just for an individual believer. A nation can be spiritually asleep, and I think that’s the condition the United States, Europe and many countries and individuals find themselves in right now.
This week we will celebrate the grace that God has shed on our lives. We will recount the many blessings He has bestowed on us over the past years. Our celebrations will be marked by loud thanksgiving. Yet even then, we will go on spiritually sleeping.
So as the Christmas approaches this year, I will be praying for a revival for our nations. And revival begins with a spiritual awakening—a profound awareness of our distance from God and our need to close that distance.
I will be praying for a sense of spiritual urgency among God’s people. The apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Rome, “This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living” (Romans 13:11–12 NLT).
It’s time to sound the alarm. The time for revival has come.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.
PRAYER TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST
Heavenly Father, I’m sorry for living a life without you. I want to know you now and ask for your forgiveness. Thank you that you love me so much that you sent your Son to die for me on the cross.
Lord Jesus, thank you that you paid the penalty for my sin on the cross and now I am forgiven. I accept you as my Saviour and King.

TITLE: 'A Source of Hope'
TEXT: Romans 15:1-13
MEMORY VERSE: "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13 NLT).(Acts 1:8 NLT).
COMMENTS
Hope is a precious commodity in today’s world. Our 24-hour news cycle feeds us story after story of events and tragedies that are far beyond our control. Many people spend hours online “doomscrolling,” obsessively searching for content that reinforces their negativity or triggers their anxiety.
As the USA, have certainly faced a share of dark times before. For many, there was little hope to be found during the years of the Civil War or in the struggle for civil rights. But the current culture feels different. The algorithms that drive social media seem to reinforce a sense of hopelessness. And the occasional piece of content that momentarily offers hope often turns out to be AI-generated.
So when people encounter genuine hope, the results are often profound. That’s why the apostle Paul wrote, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13 NLT).
Believers understand that with God, there is no such thing as hopelessness. Andrew Jackson understood that. In a letter to his wife he wrote, “I trust that the god of Isaac and of Jacob will protect you, and give you health in my absence, in him alone we ought to trust, he alone can preserve, and guide us through this troublesome world, and I am sure he will hear your prayers. We are told that the prayers of the righteous prevaileth much, and I add mine for your health and preservation untill we again meet.”
The overflowing hope that Paul spoke of springs from a spiritual passion. That’s why revival is essential to the lifeblood of believers and to the lifeblood of our nation. For believers, revival involves recapturing the first bloom of a love relationship with Jesus Christ. Sometimes when we’ve been walking with the Lord for a while, our spiritual passion begins to fade. Our zeal begins to erode. We lose some of our initial excitement about our relationship with Him. Revival is how we get it back.
When we as Christians restore the passion and fervor to our relationship with Christ, good things happen—in and around us. That renewed passion and fervor feeds on itself. Hope fills and then overflows our lives and then splashes all over the people around us. That’s how revival spreads.
Pastor Greg was speaking once with Chuck Smith, who is regarded as the father of the last great spiritual awakening in an event known as the Jesus Movement. "I asked him, “Chuck, do you think we’ll ever see another Jesus Movement?”
His answer was this: “I don’t know, Greg. I don’t know if we’re desperate enough.”
It’s time for God’s people to rediscover our passion, our hope, and our desperation.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.

TITLE: 'It Only Takes a Spark'
TEXT: Acts 1:1-12
MEMORY VERSE: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 NLT).
COMMENTS
Years ago, Pastor Greg was staying at a friend’s cabin in Virginia. His informed him that the cabin was heated by a fireplace and a stove. That meant he had to build a fire in each one using kindling and wood, and then keep the fires stoked. Pastor Greg asked him where could he buy kindling.
In the very nicest way possible, he asked, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t buy kindling. You just pick it up off the ground.” (I should point out that I’m from California and he’s from North Carolina.)
After he showed Pastor Greg how to find kindling, he explained that he would need to empty the ashes from the stove and fireplace using a metal bucket that he kept on a concrete surface. When the embers cooled, he would need to throw them out so he could reuse the bucket. Pastor Greg told him he understood.
Hours later, after he was gone, Pastor Greg got up in the middle of the night to put more wood on the fire. He needed to clean out some of the ashes, but the bucket was full. Pastor Greg assumed that the embers had cooled because they’d been sitting in the bucket for a long time.
So, he went outside where it was very dark and very cold and threw the ashes off the porch into the yard. But along with the ashes came some still-burning embers. And each one started a small fire when it hit the grass and leaves. Pastor Greg almost had a heart attack. He ran out into the yard and started picking up the embers and throwing them up onto the gravel driveway. Then he found a bucket—an extremely small bucket—and started filling it with water to put out the little fires. Pastor Greg was terrified that he had started a wildfire that was going to burn down the entire area. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. But that’s the nature of fire. A single spark can ignite something massive.
It’s only fitting that on this momentous day we point out that this is the nature of revolution as well. The “shot heard ’round the world” that began the Battles of Lexington and Concord started a revolution that changed the world as we know it.
And it’s also the nature of revival. As Jesus’ words in Acts 1:8 make clear, spiritual revival starts local and spreads, like a fire. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (NLT).
So, start local. Feed the flames of revival in yourself. Ask God to intervene in your life in a powerful way. Ask Him to reboot your spiritual system, to refresh and reenergize you. And then let that spiritual fire spread to those around you. You’ll be amazed at what God can do with a single spark.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.

TODAY'S DAILY BREAD
TITLE: 'As Far as the East Is from the West'
TEXT: Psalm 103:1-18
MEMORY VERSE: "What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?” (Psalm 116:12 NLT).
COMMENTS
Often, people’s reputations precede them. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Sports heroes and other celebrities are welcomed and celebrated in most places. Sometimes, however, it’s not such a good thing. If you’ve ever been in a social setting in which everyone suddenly got quiet when a certain person walked in, you know what I’m talking about. Some people are doomed to be remembered for the lowest point in their lives or for the worst decision they ever made or for the time they didn’t come through for someone else.
That can be a tough pill to swallow. What makes it even tougher is when the person doing the remembering is the person whose reputation was ruined. The reality is that many people find it hard to forgive themselves.
But that attitude runs counter to the message of Scripture, where forgiveness is found in abundance. The story of the paralyzed man whose friends brought him to Jesus for healing is well-known as an illustration of friendship, determination, and faith. When the friends couldn’t get to Jesus because of the crowd, they cut a hole in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man to Him.
Jesus did indeed heal the man’s physical paralysis. But first He did something more amazing and more profoundly important. “Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, ‘Young man, your sins are forgiven’” (Luke 5:20 NLT).
The wordforgiven, in this context, has the basic meaning of sending or driving something away. “Your sins are driven away from you” is what Jesus essentially said. Genuine confession involves more than simply saying, “Oops, my bad”; it also involves repentance, a turning away from the sin. Likewise, genuine forgiveness involves more than simply saying, “No problem”; it also involves a cleansing, a removal of the sin from our lives.
King David wrote, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12 AMPC). You can’t get much farther apart than that. As we saw in an earlier devotion, David had very personal reasons to celebrate God’s complete removal of sin.
In Hebrews 8:12, God says, “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins” (NLT). If God wipes our sins from His memory, who are we to hold on to guilt and shame over our wrongdoing? There’s no reason for us to have a longer memory than God when it comes to our failings.
If you’re guilty of sin, confess it and repent of it. Turn away from your wrongdoing and ask God to forgive you. Then embrace His gracious forgiveness. Release any grudge you may be holding against yourself. Ask God to help you see yourself as He sees you—covered by the righteousness of Christ, spotless before Him.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.
