THE ONLY WAY! – Acts 4:12 Devotional

THE ONLY WAY!

Acts 4:12 – Devotional

Acts 4:12

“There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we may be saved.”

People who have not experienced the new birth in and through Jesus Christ, seek to justify themselves any way possible – – other than coming God’s way. They rely on being more righteous than others, giving expensive gifts or doing acts of benevolence. But that is not what God requires!

If we could picture eternity as a glorious city, there would be only one entrance into our eternal home. People who have not experienced the new birth in and through Jesus Christ, seek to justify themselves any way possible – – other than coming God’s way. I could list numerous acts of personal sacrifice that humans have performed to justify themselves, but I am here to tell you they are all for nothing! It is essential that we examine our qualifications for eternal salvation.

There is only one way to receive eternal life in heaven, and that is by accepting the ultimate price Jesus paid for our salvation. It is His blood and only by His blood that we have eternal life. If you are relying on any other way, you will tragically discover that any other way than the blood of Jesus leads to eternal death. Accept the precious gift of eternal life, it is the only way!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

FRESH WATER! – Ezekiel 47:9 Devotional

by | Jul 5, 2022 | Ezekiel

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

FRESH WATER!

Ezekiel 47:9 – Devotional

Ezekiel 47:9

“And it shall come to pass, that everything shall live.”

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth. Fed by the Jordan River and other streams, the Dead Sea has no outlet but evaporates rapidly in the desert heat, leaving heavy, caustic, mineral-laden water behind. Fish that flow in with the fresh water, instantly perish. People enjoy floating effortlessly on the surface, but must immediately and thoroughly rinse away the corrosives. Mounds of salt line the shores of the Dead Sea, and a nearby pillar is named for Lot’s wife.

The principles of Ezekiel 47, we now receive by faith later we will witness by sight when Jesus returns. He promised springs of living water to the woman at the well, and to the celebrants in the temple, and “By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.” (John 7:39a)

Each of us is surrounded by Dead Sea people, and—if we are honest—we recognize that we ourselves are much more briny than the fresh water that gives life. Yet we have a better hope that comes by faith. The Lord on His throne is ready to answer even one person’s humble, earnest, faith-filled prayer for revival. “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail.” (Ezekiel 47:12)

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

DEPENDENCE OR INDEPENDENCE? – Philippians 2:3 Devotional

by | Jul 4, 2022 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

DEPENDENCE OR INDEPENDENCE?

Philippians 2:3 – Devotional

Philippians 2:3

“Let each of you value others above yourselves.”

If your kids are anything like our kids, they went through a stage of independence. They wanted to do things themselves, even when they were not able to accomplish the task they were attempting. Kids are not alone in acting independently.

I once went golfing with my father-in-law and two of his regular golfing mates. I had never been on the links before, but since I was far younger than the others, I felt that I could hold my own. I stood at the first tee and gave a mighty swing! I missed the ball completely! On the next mighty swing I struck the ball, only to have it dribble a few feet from the tee. It was a very long and humiliating day. The others enjoyed the day as I was providing them with great entertainment.

On this day, July 4th, we celebrate Independence Day. While we may rejoice in the freedoms that our forefathers fought to assure us, it is vital that we remember that we never are to live independently. WE NEED EACH OTHER!

Not only do we need each other, we must have the Lord in control of our lives. In Acts 17:28 we are reminded; “In Him we live and move and have our being.” Our independent attitude ends with our total dependence on Him. HAPPY DEPENDENCE DAY!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
