TRUE LOVE!

1 John 4:7 – Devotional

1 John 4:7

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.“

Today, February 14th, is Valentine’s Day. If you have not yet purchased that card, a romantic gift, or whatever, you had better get busy! There is very little time left to get that special something which will demonstrate in a meaningful way the feelings of love for that special someone in your life.

Unfortunately, there is phony (or fictitious) love present in our world that is often the result of selfish and greedy emotions. People often want things for themselves and use love as a tool to obtain what they think will satisfy their demands.

If my precious wife, Joyce, was still alive, we would be celebrating 72 years of marriage this July. I can honestly say that my love for her is far deeper even though she has gone to be with our Lord. There is an important reason for our successful life of love and growth together — we kept the Lord at the center of our marriage.

Perhaps the greatest gift you can give your loved one this Valentine’s Day is to share together the precious love of God; commit yourself to allow His love to be expressed through you in your actions as well as in your words.

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

THE DOWNFALL OF PRIDE! – 2 Chronicles 26:16 Devotional

by | Feb 13, 2024 | 2 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE DOWNFALL OF PRIDE!

2 Chronicles 26:16 – Devotional

2 Chronicles 26:16

“But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.“

Many characters in the Bible started out as God’s heroes, but they ended up as zeroes because of their pride. Unfortunately, Uzziah was one of those.

As long as he sought the Lord, Uzziah was able to subdue his enemies and be God’s man to lead Judah in subduing her enemies. Somewhere along the line he began to think that it was his own ability that brought victory. That is always the beginning of the end for anyone.

Uzziah did not become full of pride until he had become powerful. His success caused him to take his eyes off the Lord and become proud of himself. Sadly, we will never know all that Uzziah could have accomplished if he had remained dependent upon the Lord. We do know that he blew it!

So what was Uzziah’s sin? He presumed on God’s holiness. What does that mean? It means that he felt that he was above God’s Word and that he was exempt from what it demanded. Doing things his way, not God’s way, doomed him to a life of leprosy, humiliation, and separation—FROM PRIDE TO PITY.

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

A NEW HOME! – 2 Corinthians 5:6 Devotional

by | Feb 12, 2024 | 2 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A NEW HOME!

2 Corinthians 5:6 – Devotional

2 Corinthians 5:6

“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.“

In January 2010, my brother, Harold Thompson was in a Boise, Idaho, hospital. He had seemingly progressed sufficiently that his doctor decided he could be moved from the hospital to an assisted living facility.

Harold was eagerly looking forward to the move and during the night before his scheduled move, he told his nurse he was going to a new home in just a few hours. How very appropriate that was!

A short time later she went back to his room to give him some medication and discovered he had already gone to his new home, one that the Lord had prepared for him and one that will never pass away!

As I conducted my brother’s funeral service, I could almost picture him at rest in that wonderful new home that will never fade or pass away. What wonderful assurance that gives those of us who have been born again! A NEW HOME!

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