A RENEWED MIND​​!

Romans 12:2 – Devotional

Romans 12:2

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.“

It seems that we are more in need of a spiritual renewing of our minds than ever before. The media constantly bombards us with images that are far from what is God honoring and soul edifying.

In the past week I have heard at least five or six people mention how wicked and perverse things in the world are becoming. I am generally an optimistic person, but it is harder and harder and harder to find things in our modern society to be positive about.

Having expressed myself, I do not mean that we should throw up our hands in despair. The Lord has always given us His reason for hope. That reason is our Lord Jesus Christ. He came to bring life to a sin-sick world, and He is still the answer in our day and age. If Jesus is the answer to renewing our mind, we need to focus our attention on the process of getting the job done.

If someone wants to really know another person, it is not enough to just have a desire to know them–they have to spend time getting as close as possible to the person. It is the same way with Jesus. We renew our mind by reading His Word and spending time speaking with Him in prayer.

My prayer is that we may renew our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. I pray that the world may become illuminated by the presence of the Lord in our lives.

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

GOD HAS PLANS! – Jeremiah 29:11 Devotional

by | Jun 4, 2024 | Jeremiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD HAS PLANS​​!

Jeremiah 29:11 – Devotional

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.“

During church service on Sunday, one of our members was reflecting about how we have had experiences where God has stepped in and revealed Himself in a way that resolved our problems. Then only a short time later we will try to handle our problems in our own strength instead of allowing Him to meet our need.

Many people seem to have an erroneous view of the Lord. They see Him as a God that is vindictive and eager to find fault in our lives in order to punish us. They fail to see the love of God and the provision of God. Like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they hide from God rather than running to Him for salvation and comfort.

The Lord knows what lies ahead for us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. In the most disastrous times of our life He is there beside us giving us a future and a hope, regardless of how hopeless the situation may seem.

1. What is the greatest ordeal in your future?
2. Are you trying to deal with it in your own strength?

God promises us that He is the One who gives us strength for each and every day. He loves us and has a wonderful plan for our life. Are you actively seeking to discover that plan and purpose that He has designed just for you?

TRULY BELIEVE! – John 3:12 Devotional

by | Jun 3, 2024 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TRULY BELIEVE​​!

John 3:12 – Devotional

John 3:12

“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?“

During the Statler Brothers Farewell Concert, Harold (who was always the one with the humorous stories) wanted to tell one of his yarns. He prefaced it with the statement, “I have a story you are not going to believe!” His brother, Don, replied, “Every story you tell I do not believe!”

The word Believe is a powerful word. In the Greek it is pisteuō. As it is used in the New Testament it is the conviction and trust to which man is impelled by a certain inner and higher prerogative and law and soul. In layman’s terms I would say it means to choose to listen to the inner prompting of the Holy Spirit and then obey.

As you can see, today’s Scripture is a few verses away from the familiar John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” To believe is a choice that each person on the face of the earth must make. It is the only gateway to an eternity with God. TRULY BELIEVE!
