GRACE AND PEACE! – Philemon 1:3 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GRACE AND PEACE​!​

Philemon 1:3 – Devotional

Philemon 1:3​

“Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

On the last day of the month of November, it is a reminder that the days are getting much shorter and the climate is becoming much cooler. It is also a reminder to me that the conditions around me will change, but the Christ within me never changes!

When I think of Grace and Peace, it causes me to stop and question what quality do I leave behind when I have spent time with others? I hope I leave the sweet fragrance of grace and peace.

My wife Joyce had a special gift of sharing grace and peace wherever she went. I have to confess she detected needs in the hearts and lives of people that I had not been aware of. She would drop a card or note to those people and repeatedly they would respond with how she had given them hope at just the right time!

I will never have the same gift that Joyce did, but God has given me certain gifts. One is just being a father to those who have never had an earthly dad to call on when the going got tough. If you are one who lacks an earthly dad to call on, always feel free to cry on my shoulder and know that while I may not know all of the answers, I know the One who promises grace and peace!

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

BE ON THE ALERT! – Revelation 3:2 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

BE ON THE ALERT!​

Revelation 3:2 – Devotional

Revelation 3:2

“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being spiritually alive, but you are spiritually dead!”

There are times when sleep is necessary and appropriate, but there comes a time when it is time to wake up. Too many of us spend more time drifting into dreamland than being alert to the needs around us.

There is no doubt that we live in a world that is being pulled more and more into a sense of spiritual lethargy. There is little emphasis on personal evangelism and far less on challenging new believers. The result is lukewarm or dead churches.

Being loud and animated does nothing to cover the reality of spiritual death. Many of our modern churches have seemingly been more concerned with show than the substance of life. I think it is safe to say that a large percentage who whoop and yell in church fail to spend any quality time in prayer and Bible study.

The prophets of old, Jesus in His earthly ministry, and the apostles after Him have called for all true believers to wake up while there is still time. Will you hear and heed the call?

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

PREACH JESUS! – Acts 8:35 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

PREACH JESUS!​

Acts 8:35 – Devotional

Acts 8:35

“Philip opened his mouth and began at the passage the eunuch was reading and preached Jesus to him.”

I seem to recall a definition of effective Christian witnessing as one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. It would be an act of selfishness for a beggar to horde a supply of food and allow another beggar to go hungry!

As born-again believers we are assigned the responsibility of sharing wonderful news of salvation with a lost and spiritually starving world. We do that by being serious about reading the Bible and speaking to the Lord in prayer.

In Acts chapter 8, without explanation, Philip was called by an angel to go south and preach Jesus. Think about it! When Philip was sent he had no idea how far he was going and what he would find. That was not his concern. He was just called to trust and obey!

When we obey the leading of the Holy Spirit we simply need to be sensitive to the voice of the Lord and be prepared to preach Jesus at a moment’s notice to the one or ones who are near us. Just preach Jesus!

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